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)

 Me and all my bridesmaids (who are all wonderful by the way)

This day was the Thursday before our WEDDING, and was wonderful. I got to spend time with the girls and let them know how much I appreciated them for being there fo rme. We had a great time. It all turned out so lovely.

Bachelorette Party Weekend. July 23-24, 2011

I had the best bachelorette weekend. Thursday I had some friends up to the lake for some fun in the sun. Friday night we went Downtown Roanoke to eat at Wasabi's, then ventured out to some local bars, Cornerstone, and Awful Arthurs. Saturday morning, we left for Richmond, where we stayed at the Omni Hotel there. We got to go to an awesome resturaunt for dinner called Deluxe. Then headed for some bar hopping to Shanias, and Cha Cha's. What a wonderful trip with my girlfriends. I will remember it always!

41 days until our wedding...but who's counting anyway.

So only 41 days until I become Mrs. Derek Anthony Wingo or Mrs. Leigh Goodwin Wingo, whichever you prefer. I am very excited to say that things with our wedding are coming along just as scheduled. Derek picked up some fireworks while on his bachelor party extravagana, and some sparklers. I, on the other hand, have been making hair and make-up appointments for the day of the wedding. Here are a few inspirations pics I found on the net.
