A weekend full of fun!

We had a lot of fun this past weekend! Here's the recap:


Friday: My clinical instructor let us leave the hospital early, so I was home by 12:30 instead of 2:30!! Yay! I also got to go down to the OR and watch a surgery (it was something called a pericardial window where they drain excess fluid off of your heart to help it pump easier). That night, Travis and I went to Chili's with Josh, Bonnie, Meagan, Jason, Nate, and Mollie. It was a long wait for our food, but it was definitely worth it. Then we played Cranium over at Josh and Jason's house. It was girls vs. guys...and the girls won, of course! We had a blast!

Saturday: Being able to sleep past 5:45 AM automatically makes any day better. My parents came down for the game, so we went to a tailgate with them over by the Quad. My mom made taco soup and her famous fudge, and it was awesome! The game wasn't until 6:45, and it was COLD! Actually, cold is an understatement. I can't ever remember wearing more layers to a football game. We still had fun though! Bama is now 11-0, and I can't wait for the Iron Bowl in 2 weeks. Hopefully we can snap this 6 game losing streak!

Sunday: We decorated our Christmas tree!! I bought some colored lights at Walmart and a tree skirt, so we decided to go ahead and decorate since we'll only be in t-town a few more weeks before we leave for the break. It looks pretty good! I was lucky to have an ornament shower last fall, so we probably have about 20 ornaments already on the tree. We're planning to buy a new ornament every year that has the year on it, so we still need to get a 2008 ornament. We also hung a wreath on our door and put "Christmas bears" in our window. I'm definitely feeling the Christmas spirit, and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet! Now I just need to start my shopping...

Nearing the end of the semester...

I can't wait until Travis gets home! He's been gone since Monday night, but it feels like forever! He went to a Coldplay concert last night in Atlanta with Nate. They got to go backstage before the concert and watch the band warm up. I think they had a lot of fun, and he said he got some good pictures!

Yesterday, I went shopping to finally spend some of my birthday money, but I didn't have very much luck. I bought one shirt from The Limited that I really like, but I was hoping to find some "winter" dress clothes. Guess I'll just have to keep looking!

We didn't get tickets to the SEC championship game in Atlanta. We were really hoping to go too! Apparently, there were only a little over 1000 tickets available to UA students, and each student got 2 tickets, so only about 500-600 students got tickets. I heard someone saying that their friend who has 152 hours at the University didn't even get tickets, so I guess Travis and I didn't even have a chance (they gave tickets to the students with the most hours taken at UA). I checked online to see what tickets were going for, and the cheapest I saw was $300 a ticket. That equals us watching it at home on TV. Although, we had a lot of fun watching the LSU game here at the apartment with friends. I made several snacks, and we crammed about 9 people in here somehow!

Celebrating with our sparkling grape juice after the big win!

I only have 2 more weeks of clinicals this semester! I'm so excited!!! Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon!!!!

ROOOOOLLLLLLL TIDE ROLL!

The bonfire and Halloween party were a lot of fun last weekend! My costume wasn't very original...but, at least it was free!

Here we are at the bonfire on the Quad

The two nurses at the party...Jess and me!

I didn't realized until AFTER the party that Travis and I didn't even get a picture together as doctor and nurse. Oh well :(

In other news, tomorrow is the big game with LSU. We're having a few friends over to watch the game and eat some good food. On the menu: gumbo (courtesy of Alan), rotel cheese dip and Tostitos, Chex Mix, Hello Dollies, and jalapeno poppers (I think). Should be a lot of fun...especially if we're 10-0 by the end of the night!! SEC championship game...here we come!!!
