Only 10 more days until Graduation!!!

Wow, hard to believe that i have just one more nursing exam left for my nursing degree! I have my last test June 5, and my final research paper for Writing 123 (research writing) due on June 6 and then i will be done!! woooooooooo hoooooo! Pretty exciting. I went and bought my cap and gown on Tuesday. I could hardly wait. I am still waiting for the Phi Theta Kappa regelia to come in though.

I had so much fun last sabbath. I went to Grants Pass again. Pastor Clark had such an awesome sermon on why God allows bad things to happen. Would surely love to steal that pastor and bring him to our church. hehe Then we went to a church members house for lunch. The lady was such a good cook. It was funny, she couldnt believe how much Tony and I ate.. haha... and i could have eaten so much more but we couldnt stay all day eating there... we had places to go and things to do! We went back to church, and picked up Melissa and Laura and headed to Ashland to go to Lithia Park. Talk about a cool park! It was so awesome! Tons of rhododendrens blooming right now, and all sorts of cool flowers. They have the ponds where there were lots of (tiny) baby duckies. They were so cute... looked like you could just scoop them up in your hand. hehe We saw the Monkey Puzzle Tree, which is this absolutely amazing tree....looks like something you would see in the mission field somewhere.. surely didnt look American! (Is from Chile actually). Laura decided to swing on the branches, and she did just fine, once she got up on Tony's shoulders so she could reach the branches. Then, ummm... Tony decided to swing on the branches. hahaha.... The two branches he was swinging on broke off... so Tony had to hide the branches in some nearby bushes. It was hilarious! Then we found this Cedar Tree, which Tony and I named the Seater Tree.. haha.. It had these nice curved branches that were perfect seats to sit and swing on. That was awesome. We then had supper in the park, and then i took them all back to Grants Pass safe and sound. It was such an awesome day. But i had to do an awful thing at the end of the day: say good bye to Tony. rofl. He is such a cool guy. Oh, that is right.. he does read this.. guess i better shut up.

I am back to go study for my test. I will post pics of my trip later!
