A weekend to remember

So to start off with I am blogging while I work the night shift tonight. 6:30pm-7:30am can I get a WHOOT WHOOT?! It's a quiet night, hopefully it will stay that way. Tonight I am faced with my first end-of-life patient. He's on comfort cares and I'm quietly freaking out about the fact that he might die on my shift. He's a DNR so we don't have to resusitate him but it's just scary to think about having to deal with death. I've never had a patient die or have taken care of a dead person. So pray for the best.

Anyway, this past weekend was amazing. On thursday I headed over to Des Moines for my friend Annie's bachelorette party, we had a blast and it was soooooo much fun to catch up with nursing school friends. We ended the night at the Blue Moon which is a bar with dueling piano's...absolutely incredible and insanely fun. On friday Katie, Mom, and me went and got a well deserved pedicure and Eli and my dad hung out at none other than the Bass Pro Shop. We then met up as a complete family at the best place on earth PANCHERO's I haven't had it since I moved here and boy was it well worth the wait. Later friday night I left to help out my family in Lincoln with my cousin Ryans wedding rehearsal dinner.

Saturday I got myself all gussied up for Ryan and Angie's wedding and awaited the arrival of my family. I was so stoked to get to have Eli and Katie over to my house and show off all my cool IKEA things. Then we went to the wedding and the reception which was so beautiful and so much fun. My mom's side of the family is a blast to hang out with and so we had a great time dancing and laughing. After the reception our family had to haul presents to a hotel for the bride and groom to open. Some how one of us broke the mirrored Horn of Plenty (which is the word my dad used and will now never live down, but for those of you just like me who didn't know what a horn of plenty was, it's just a cornicopia) I think i'll start calling my dad Mr. Horn of Plenty, it was histerical listening to him trying to explain himself. After our delivary was made Eli and Katie came back to my house and we started watching Robin Hood:Prince of Theives and drinking mudslides. We didnt' make it very far through the movie, we were soooo tired.

Sunday we got up bright and early and went over to my Uncle Jim(mom's brother) and Aunt Judy's house for breakfast, again it was just so nice to spend special quality time with my family.


It was a great weekend and I hope I get some days off for thanksgiving so I can spend even more time with them.
