Summer 2014 Happenings

I'm definitely going to be doing a WHOLE lot of working this summer. I will be doing three 12 hour days a week for my RN orientation (Tuesday, Friday, and Saturdays) and two days of [paid] tutoring through GTC (Monday & Thursdays). However, I'm totally fine with it because I want to start stashing away money for our first home!! We are definitely moving to a town about 40 minutes away, and we are most likely going to save enough to be able to build our first home! So exciting.

Despite all of the working, I do have a few fun things planned for my summer :)

Madison/PKU Camp -- July 22 - July 28

I will be going to my PKU camp again this year. It is the 20th anniversary of the camp, so it should be a wonderful year. I am going up to Madison two days early to hang out with my best PKU friend from up North, who I only see once a year. It should be lots of fun!

2014 Secret US Classic -- August 2nd

Superrrr excited!!! This year we are going to both the Junior and Senior sessions, which I'm ecstatic about because I love so many of the juniors!! Simone and McKayla should be back from their injuries, Kyla of course will be there, and Gabby possibly will as well! I may actually be AS excited for the juniors as I am for the seniors! Bailie, Norah, Amelia, Laurie, aaah! I hope we get to meet some of them and we also have pretty great seats!

Wedding -- September 20th

My cousin's wedding is September 20th. It is about 2 hours away so we will get a hotel and stay up there for the weekend, which will be great! I always love weddings and this is going to be like a really different wedding than I've ever been to. It's going to be outside all countryish and the ceremony is going to be in a barn. Not like an old barn but you know. They're also having a live band instead of a DJ. I'm excited and I really hope that my brother and his girlfriend come home from AZ for it!

New York City -- September 25th - September 29

This is basically my celebratory trip for passing nursing school and the NCLEX and becoming a nurse! I'm going with 2 of my friends from school and one of their friends. Two of them have never been to the city before so it is going to be awesome getting to show them everything and see them experience it for the first time. One of my friends is my theater buddy that I go to all of the musicals with and clearly we would not go to the city without seeing the amazing Idina Menzel in If/Then!

We have both been huge fans of hers since Rent in 1996 and the thought of seeing her on Broadway live just brings tears to our eyes. Like we really cant even deal with the thought, but we are SO excited. We may also try for Wicked lottery tickets while we are there or Aladdin tickets -- I'd really like to see that! It is going to be an amazing trip and I can't wait! The flights and hotel are like DIRT CHEAP, I can't even believe the amazing deals we are getting!

I'm very happy I have these bright spots to look forward to in my long summer of working, but of course I love my job too!!
