About to clean out the Tupperware cupboard and make some dinner. Enchiladas is on the menu for tonight.
Just eaten some yummy mango icecream with narny. YUMMO!
Got the Gingerbread house night tonight - looking forward to it!! Always fun having fun with the girls :)
Dave and Dannii's wedding in 2 days, ultra exciting!! Glad Amelia is coming over with Hans and Gail, will be great to see her again :)

Life is a beautiful rollercoaster
Another week passed and i've finished uni for 2011!
I'm feeling really thankful that i've been able to complete my 2nd year of my nursing degree and the Lord has really equipped me over the last 6 weeks of prac in strength and perseverance!
Monday and Tuesday will be my last bit of work that requires travelling as i'm completing my Enrolled Nurse 2 day prac! This will be so handy to have this qualification in case i don't end up returning to study - although i'd like to as it's only 1 more year! Will have to see where the Lord leads us as a family and whether i'll have time to do this.
I've had a fantastic 2 years at Notre Dame Uni and so blessed to have met some beautiful friends
samara, clare, asha, emily, amie & caitlin - who now is mrs walker!!
It flew by and I've learnt so much in myself and as a nurse.
So whats over the hill?
well it sounds greener but will probably be harder!
I'm due to have our first child on January 16 2012, a little miracle made by God in my womb.
She's getting more and more active every day and i only have 7 weeks till my due date. Wondering whether she'll be early, on time or late?!
Chris and I were so blessed to pick up a $450 nursery set from a lovely family in Mt Lawley! A gorgeous dark set - cot, change table and tall boy. The cot and change table had a few scratches/teeth marks in them so Chris sanded those down and put varnish and sealer on it! Looks brand new! Such a clever hubby i have!
There are plenty of projects i have to get stuck into before the pumpernickle comes. Here are a few:
Find a Nursery to get some indoor plants
Get some seat cushions for the dining table
can't think of any more at the moment...
will be back in a few days most likely!

mmm
Tuesday already on my last week of prac!
The Lord has massivly been blessing me in the sleep department and i'm so totally greatful!
It's much easier to work when you don't want to when your not tired!!
Bolognaise on toast with cheese and a nice coffee to wash it down, today will be a good day i'm praying!
Positive thinking i've learned makes life a lot easier - especially when your relying and trusting in the one who can make it all better!
Looking forward to finishing this week in style! hehe

Saturday evening sleepy head
wow, where to start??
I have one week of prac left, 2 days of EN prac to complete and competently pass, have cut my thumb open this past week and is still taking ages to heal - with the flappy bit of skin just not wanting to heal into the rest of my thumb, its 7.30pm, dark and Chris is still on the bobcat doing the backyard. He's worked so hard today with Jayden pulling up the secret garden weeds and doing the final prepping for the front yard to be done by the landscapers!! So looking forward to having a beautiful front yard!!
I'm going on 32 weeks in my pregnancy and am quite excited that i only have 8 weeks to go!
Jess and Mum have put a new carseat on layby today which was very exciting news! Mum very generously is buying the seat for us - so blessed!
We still are cotless with no change table either but i'm planning on organising my darling's room when i am finished all my prac and am free!
I'd say ill be in bed in about half an hour which is a tad depressing but really needed...
Will be up early due to my fantastic body clock that sets itself for around 6.30am every morning. Got to prep for Sunday School as i'm teaching tomorrow at church.
Looking forward to sister Katie's 27th birthday celebrations tomorrow evening at Foo Wins.
i bid thee g'nite!

finished surgical prac :)
So glad to have finished my Surgical Rotation and am looking forward to the weekend! relaxing!!!
Going to the shops tomorrow, getting some new bras as the babalooochas dont seem to be fitting in my 14Es!! it's a bit depressing, but nevertheless all good!
Going to pop into kikki K as well, have my $10 birthday voucher and have to get some cards for Katie, Cathie and now Suzi as she had her little Summer this morning!
Very excited to meet the little one!!!
Might have some homemade mango icecream now and do some tv watching or reading. Need to just relax as i'm so tired from everything!
God has blessed me with a fantastic nuturing husband and great friends and family to support me. He has given me the strength to persevere though this prac and i know he will lead me through the last bit!
