Where did October go??

Oh man, been awhile since I blogged. School has been crazy busy along with all the stuff we are involved in. I cant believe October is nearly over. So lets update you all!

Thanks to those that contributed to the heart walk! The ticker became unavailable last Wednesday so I would like to thank Mimi and Papa, Grandma Honey and Grandpa and my parents for dontating to the heart walk! We reached our goal of $200. yay! Here are some pictures from the Heart Walk =)

We have been very busy this month. Cory has been busy with class, TA-ing and working on projects. Clinicals have been crazy for me and this semester has proven not only the most difficult, but the most work. We have alot of assignments that arent really due, however, its a wise choice to do them because if there is a pop quiz, you get to use your assignments for the quiz. Those assignments takes several hours, plus prepwork for clinicals, paperwork for clinicals, and studying. (thats just one class!) So my blogging has slowed down, but I am trying to catch you all up. I am currently bouncing back and forth between my research homework and the blog ;)

Well, its now Saturday morning and I started blogging yesterday lol. I am telling ya, there is just not enough time in the world! Now I am cooking breakfast and working on homework and writing on the blog. Lets see what other pictures I can upload...

Random pics from October

And here are some pretties to look at. I like to call it God's artwork :)

In other news, I finally met my hospice patients! I am officially volunteering for Hospice Care of the Southwest and met my patients last Thursday. I am so excited. They were all very sweet. This week, I am going to make Halloween cookies and get some candy and make a lil Halloween goody bag for all my hospice patients and thier roommates. I am going to go see them either Thursday or Friday. I am looking forward to it!

I am also a part of WTNSA, the WT chapter of the National Student Nurse's Association. My friend Carolyn and I took on the responsibility of making a HUGE nursing banquet happen next year around April. I have no idea what I am getting into but if I can plan a wedding, certainly I can handle a Nursing school banquet ;) On Novemeber 1st, I will be working a WT football game for Nurses night. We are having a tailgate and raffling off a saddle. We are working on getting mic time during half time. Should be alot of fun.

Cory and I are also going to be working a Compassion booth once again, this time at a MercyMe concert on November 8. Looking forward to that! I LOVE MercyMe =)

I have much more to fill you in on, but I gotta get to studying. I just finished my prep work for clinicals (this blog has been in the making for a day and half now lol). I have a huge test on Monday and need to get to work on it. I will try to post more on Monday so I can catch everyone up on Farley Life. =) Have a great weekend everyone!

Help us fight Heart Disease and Stroke!

Hey folks!

Hope everyone had a great week. I plan to blog about the past week here in a couple days, but I wanted to hop on and post a special request. Cory and I are walking in the Amarillo Heart Walk on October 18. Many of you may have recieved my email from the American Heart Association but I wanted to post it here as well.

Dear Friends and Family,


Everyone knows someone affected by heart disease or stroke. For those we love, we will be walking in this year’s Start! Heart Walk. In particular, Lil Papa who passed away October 2, 2007 from a heart attack and Cory's mother, Debby Hardy, who passed away from a brain aneurysm May 4, 2007. We are walking in thier honor. We have set a personal goal to raise funds for the American Heart Association and need your help to reach our donation goal. We are raising critical dollars for heart disease and stroke research and education.

You can help us reach our goal by making a donation online. Click on the icon below and you will be taken to our personal donation page where you can make a secure online credit card donation. The American Heart Association's online fundraising website has a minimum donation amount of $25.00. If you prefer to donate less, you can do so by sending a check directly to me. Please notify me by email or by posting a comment on the blog if this is what you are doing and I will make give you my address in privacy. Even $5 can make a difference!


Your donation will help fight our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers—heart disease and stroke. You are making a difference. Thank you for your support.
