As for me I graduated from Nursing School in May!! Yay!! Although this is an awesome accomplishment it was bittersweet because it meant the end of two outstanding years with incredible instructors who truly changed my life and friends that will always stay near and dear to my heart. However, I am off to begin a whole new chapter as Jaime Smith RN in the Pediatric ICU at Banner's new Cardon Children's Hospital! It was truly a blessing to have been given this job because hospitals are trying to avoid hiring new graduates at this time. I was one of the very few who got a job, let alone my DREAM job! I began college with the hope of becoming a pediatric nurse and during hard times like these I can't believe I got exactly what I hoped for.
Michael and I also took a little break and stayed with his family on his parents' house boat at Lake Powell in May. The Hass family practically grew up at Lake Powell but I however have never been. I love the lake I just don't go very often so this trip was a total blast for me! Two things I love about Michael; his need for adventure and his need for speed! He took me out on a jet ski for a whirlwind adventure but it was cut short when a killer storm rolled in! I thought it would be the coolest thing in the world to get caught in a storm...that was until I actually did get caught in a storm! Michael warned me but I had to found out for myself just how cold it really gets and how painful the rain drops are as they pierce your skin like pellets! It was rough but I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. We spent our days lounging on the deck, sipping margaritas and at night we roasted marshmallows and told ghost stories. I'm still trying to shake some of the stories Maryanne (Mike's mom) told us! All in all it was an awesome weekend and the first of many Lake Powell trips!
