This past weekend Trev and I went to Greenville, SC to help our friend John move into his new apartment! I had never been to Greenville, so it was great to see a new city. As far as the whole moving thing, I didn't help much (he had a moving company), but Heather, Greg, and I went to the mall and Target to get things for the apartment. I was really sad when I heard John and Heather were moving away, but I am so happy for them! They are both wonderful people, who have a very exciting life ahead of them! And it's only a hour and a half away, so I can go visit ALL the time!! haha.
But like all weekends it went by too quick, but on a good note i'm only working two days this week!!! YEA!!! Trev and I are going to Hilton Head Island for a long weekend. We have been going the past three years and really look foward to it. We stay at the Holiday Inn Oceanfront. It is so relaxing and we love the tiki bar! Ill put pictures up next week!!

It all ends with fireworks
This work week went by really quick, which was great. We were slow at work, but we had a lot of fun! I love the people I work with. We get along so well and have a great time (of course in between taking care of the little ones).
I saw Eclipse on Thursday with Caitie, Heather, and Greg. It was soooo good! It was definitely the best movie yet in the series. The main character Edward, is a vampire who fell in love with a human. I know it sounds dumb, but it is one of the most romantic stories I have ever heard. It's hard not to get sucked into the story and think that every relationship should be like that. I think a lot of young girls have read this story and now have a false view on love. Not everything is perfect all the time, but if you find someone who loves you, for you, that is truly the best feeling. Not everything is like a fairytale, life isn't perfect, but if you have found someone who truly cares for you despite your flaws, well then you can't get much better then that. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life and I am grateful everyday! He definitly puts up with my crazy moods and ideas which makes him pretty close to a saint! haha
Ok, enough of the serious stuff! This weekend was great. Our friends Jordan and Brandon came into town from Charleston. On Saturday, we all went tubing down the river. It started out a little rough. The river was very low, so the rocks were tricky to get around. But once we got all hooked together it was a great time. Heather and I got a little cut up from the rocks from swimming, but thats ok!! Saturday night, we went to the Blowfish game to see the fireworks. As usual it was a painfully long baseball game and all I really wanted to see was the fireworks! Sunday, we had bruch then headed to the lake. The weather was beautiful! It has been a little cooler out the last week, which is a great change from the 100 degree weather we have ha the last month. Later that night, we had a BBQ at my parents. Our friends Judy and Will brought the newest edition to their family over, BRYCE! She is so adorable and I have the pleasure of being her nurse!! Trev got to hold her which was too funny because he has a little fear of babies! But he will have to get over that one day when we have little ones :)! And that leads to the last day of the long weekend. Today, I just took it easy and tried to get ready for this week. Lots of laundry and cleaning!
I believe thats it for now! Have a great week!

Long Week, Short Weekend...
This week was probably one of the longest weeks ever! LOTS of well check ups= busy at work! So come Friday, I was so excited for the weekend. I had a half day, so I went to the Lake Murray with my mom and sister. It was realllllly hot out (which in South Carolina during the summer, everyday is miserably hot). We swam in the pool and ate snow cones (it was great)! I felt like a kid again.
Friday night we had everyone over to watch the Gamecocks play Clemson. It was a very exciting game, WE WON! Which meant we had to win one more game to go to the National Championship...WHICH WE DID! Trevis was so excited! He just loves USC sports. He was actually planning on going to Omaha, but the flights just didn't seem to work out. I felt really bad he couldn't go, but he will be able to watch it on TV!
Saturday morning, we went to Delaney's Irish pub to watch the USA soccer game ( I know a Irish pub in the a.m. is never a good idea). It was a lot of fun (even though we lost), until some obnoxious girl started blaming our group for the loss. She said we weren't cheering loud enough. My personal opinion is drunk girls should just keep their mouths shut. And I know you're thinking, like you've never got drunk and mouthed off. Well I have, but I would never start a fight with complete strangers! But o well, I'm sure that girl went home and passed out and probably doesn't remember a thing. My brother in law cut his foot at the bar and I got to use my nursing skills to stop the bleeding and bandage him up. He just graduated nursing school and passed boards, so soon enough he will be able to bandage himself up! haha.
And finally, lazy Sunday...Trev and I went back to the lake with my parents. I love having them down here! We swam in the lake, which scares my mom because she thinks something is going to "get her". Hmm what else. FRIENDS... I am so grateful to have such wonderful people in my life. We have a great circle and we are always there for each other. Yea we bicker, but who doesn't. Well I think that's it for now...til next week! :)

Father's Day
This is my very first blog, so it might be a little weak! It is Father's Day. I have the best Father in the world. He has always been there for me and is so loving and caring. Things have been so great since my parents moved down to South Carolina. I was born and raised in New Jersey. My parents both grew up in New York City, so moving down here has been a HUGE adjustment. I decided to stay down in South Carolina after graduation because of the wonderful man in my life (my husband Trevis). My sister, Caitie, also went to USC. She recently graduated and is interviewing for Elementary Education jobs.
Last night we had a little get together at our new house! It was a lot of fun. I love having all our close friends over. Our group of friends is so wonderful (but I do miss my NJ girls tons). Since we moved, we have a lot more room so having friends over is a great time. Our friends Heather and John were here! They recently got engaged (Trev and I are both in the wedding) and we are planning their couple's shower. I have never thrown a big party like this before, so I have been getting a lot of good advice from everyone. There are 8 people throwing the party, so we have divided up the to do list (so I am a little less stressed!).
I think that's all for now. I am going to finish watching the soccer game and then head over to my parents lake house for dinner. It's going to be a long work week (I am a Pediatric Nurse) but I get a half day on Friday, so that is VERY exciting!!
