Baby Nurse

Phew 
the past few weeks have been a whirlwind 

I started my nursing job in the emergency department with Cone Health in Greensboro, NC
they accepted me, and 10 other amazing new nurses, into the new grad academy 
this is where they will slowly help us transition from student nurse to...
 real-live-life-saving-badass-ED-nurses! 
this is my first real job and boy did that first paycheck feel amazing 
I am now a contributing factor to both the wedding bills and our little family :) 
I have to wear these colored scrubs to work 
seriously addicted to buying scrubs now 
must.stop.wedding.to.pay.for.

we drove back to Wilmington (fourth weekend in a row) 
to celebrate my brother, James' 26th birthday! 
we went to my favorite restaurant in Wilmington, Nikki's, a Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar 
lots of fun and sake 
two of my favorite men 
 super handsome date
gorgeous momma 
 Lady and Beau

oh yeah, 
we have also been working continuously on wedding-related things 
we had our tasting with our caterer and could not be more pleased with the selections! 
a little sneak peek of what will be served
no buffet or chafing dishes (Thank Goodness)! 

my bridal shower is two weeks from this weekend 
I just bought the most fabulous dress on sale from Banana Republic to wear to it! 

also, we picked out groomsmen suits 
how thrilled does Jared look to be modeling this? haha 

our invitations will be sent out next Monday! 
the progress is slowly starting to show... 

on a side note 
we hit up the dollar section at Target 
anyone who knows Jared and I knows our obsession with cookouts 
these were 70% off in the dollar section 
now that is a score if you ask me... 

finally, 
everyone could use more of this stud in their lives
