5 weeks and counting!

So, want to hear something crazy? Josh and I will be moving back home to Arizona, the perfect state, in 5 flippin' weeks! I can't believe it! It's so weird to think that we've lived here for 3 years; in this God forsaken state, also known as Kentucky (for those of you who are unaware of how amazing AZ is compared to KY). For example, right now we are again under "tornado warning." Just like the other day when a tornado picked up a semi and then dropped it back down 2 miles from our house. Yup, doesn't that sound just lovely? Doesn't it make you want to pack your bags and leave the perfect 80 degree weather, blue skies and sunshine and come to live here with me...and Farmer Joe? Muahaha, ok now I'm being a little mean to poor Kentucky, but seriously, get me the H*** out of here! So yea, 4 more weeks of actual school, then finals and TA DA...GRADUATION!!! Even though technically I'm still not done with school, it's an accomplishment all the same. I'm so excited! So we should be home around May 12th. We're going to have a few welcome home parties at the end of May too. One at my dad's prob May 16, and one at Josh's parents prob May 30. So mark those days on the calender if you want to come! I would love to see everyone, and I mean EVERYONE! Oh yea, and we sold our house today! Well, we accepted an offer so it should be a done deal (unless the home inspection says we have mold growing in our walls or an underground volcano beneath our house, ya know... something crazy like that). Hooray! So happy and relieved. It was a full price offer and we had to bend a little on other things but we won't lose any money and that is the most important thing in this market! So thanks to everyone who prayed, it worked! Hmmm...what else? Oh yea, Josh and I bought a 2005 Volkswagon Jetta. It's in AZ at my dad's waiting for us, but it is really nice and we love it. So that's good news too. And my last little piece of exciting news (well exciting for me) is that my practicum hours (or internship for nursing school, whatever you want to call it) is going to be partly on a pediatric floor! That was pure luck because we are all supposed to be on Med/Surg floors but they ran out of preceptors so that's what I got, lucky me! So excited, hopefully it will be really fun. Well people, I believe that is it. See you in 5 weeks! AHHHHHH!!!

Fast Forward...

I know this may sound bad, but I really wish I could fast forward the next 8 weeks of my life. I'd be graduated from my nursing program, done with my practicuum, done stressing, my house would be sold, and I'd be on my way home to Arizona. It's really awful to take time for granted like that, but I can't help but wish. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The next 8 weeks will go by, and probably fast too. I'm just so burnt out! And my poor husband is mega stressed with everything he has to deal with too, so that makes life even harder. Blah, sometimes it stinks being grown up! On a happy note... we're having an open house this Friday and I'm hoping we will get an offer for our sweet little house. We desperately need it to sell so we aren't stuck here! So, say a little prayer for that to happen! Anyway, sorry about my depressing post, I'm not the most fun right now. I'll try to cheer up and have a happier one next time!

A few pics

It's official...I'm the worst blogger ever

Wow, I can't believe I haven't blogged in 4 months! That is almost embarassing, especially since I come on here and read everyone else's blogs each week but I never take the time to update my own. Silly. Well, Joshuah and I are moving home mid May, so that means less than 2 and 1/2 months and we'll be back to sunny, beautiful perfection...also known as Arizona. Our house is on the market here in KY, and we're praying it will sell by May. My graduation in May 8th, and Joshuah is out of the Air Force June 23rd, but he'll be able to come home in May with me cause he has so much leave saved up. Poor little Macie (our Siberian Husky) will have to brave the hot hot AZ summer, but she's kennel trained so I'm hoping that will help having her inside during the heat of the day. All I can say is that I have missed home like a crazy person these past 3 years, and am overwhelmed with excitement to be coming back. It's so funny the little things you miss that you never think you would. Well, I should start with the big obvious things. MY FAMILY. Oh man, if I only had video of the day I got in the car with Josh outside of my dad's house in Mesa and drove away to go live in KY/TN. It was a sob fest. My mom, dad, step-mom, sisters...me...my very new husband, all crying our eyes out like I was going to prison or something. Hah. Thank goodness I've stayed just as close with all of them, and can't wait to be able to see them whenever I want! I couldn't ask for more. Also, my friends. ALL of my friends. I have missed my girls so much. Just being silly and watching our favorite shows, going out to lunch. I can't wait to have all of you back!

Now the little things. I miss the scenery! I know that might sound weird because I'm in beautiful KY/TN, where everything is green, blah blah blah. BOO!! I want to see a cactus, an orange tree, a mountain, and a blue sky with the sun blaring down on me! I want to have a sprinkler system to keep my grass green because it never rains! I want to see big buildings, and freeways! I want to eat at Lulu's and Oregano's. I want to be within 20 minutes of four amazing malls. I want to wear flip flops year round. I want to get directions from someone that doesn't include them telling me to turn at old man Hillman's farm! Hahaha. I mean come on...am I supposed to know this person? I guess what I'm getting at is, I miss home. I'm sick and tired of this state, and I'm counting the days until I'm back in a normal world!

So that's a quick catch up on the life of Josh and Bonnie. Just as busy as ever and missing everyone and everything way too much. I'm going to try to post pictures and I hope they work. Here goes...
