Last day in the ER

Today is a bittersweet day. It's my last day working in the first department I starting working at in the hospital. I am leaving the Emergency department and going to work at the orthopedic clinic. I started working in the ER 5 years ago after I graduated nursing school and have fallen inlove with ER nursing. I have accomplished and learned so much. I never imagined I would have come so far in nursing at such a young age. I feel I have finally succeeded as an ER nurse and now its time to start something different.
My new job is 8-4:30 Monday-Friday, no weekends, no holidays. I feel like this schedule is going to work out better for me now especially since I just got married. Now, I can get off work, come home and make dinner for my husband.
Farewell ER. I will miss you!! :)

Rehearsal and Dinner

Derek and I could not have asked for a better rehearsal and dinner, wedding ceremony, reception, and honeymoon. We had perfect weather the entire time. Most importantly, we spent our time with all of our cloest family and friends. What a wonderful time. 9/10/2011

All the food my mom had was from Fresh Market *LOVE*. We had chicken salad crossiants, spinach quish, spinach and artichoke dip, fresh baked cookies and cheesecake, and fruit with fruit dip. It was delicious.

 Some of the bridesmaids gifts we got the girls. We got them all a bag from Thirty-One and filled it with goodies such as lotion, waters, coffee cup with tea bags, and some other special items.

 My mom made mimosas for the girls (champagne and orange juice)
