Sundays...the way they should be

This is my bff, Missy.



She's an amazing mom to 3 amazing children .

(Call me biased...but they're amazingly cute too!)

 We all got together this weekend for a little Sunday Funday...no...not the kind where you spend all day drinking and being stupid...the kind where you: grill out. eat outside. play with sidewalk chalk. get ran over by a remote control car. have good conversation. give a piggyback ride to the park. snuggle a baby. chase a three year old. let a three year old chase you (and catch you). climb a tree. play at the park. dump woodchips out of your shoes. ride a bike. soak up the sun. play two games of softball (and win). enjoy time with an amazing family and some pretty great friends, too!!

Yep, this is how Sundays should be spent!

...oh hey!

Helloooo blogworld! Miss me?! Who?! It's me...Jackie. I know, I know...I've been gone a long time.

School, work, study, clinicals, repeat.
This is my life.
Correction...that was my life!
It's summer vacation, baby!
I have only one plan for the summer: ENJOY MYSELF!
How am I going to do that you wonder?

Well...let me tell you:

1. Playing softball twice a week with my best friends :]
2. Picking up extra shifts at work
(ok, so maybe this isn't "enjoyable" but my bank account thinks it's pretty groovy)
3. Playing with my love (see photo)
4. Reading books for fun (again, see photo)
5. Learning how to use my camera
6. Driving with the sunroof open and the music up loud
7. Organizing my craft stuff/school stuff/clothes/life
(again, maybe not "fun" but it NEEDS to be done!)
8. Getting together with my nursing peeps regularly
(I'll go crazy without them for a whole summer...well...most of them)
9. BON FIRES!
10. Lying around...in the sun...doing whatever I want*!

Laying around...with my love...reading a book for fun!
 
Ahh...I have a feeling this is going to be a GREAT summer!

*When I'm not working...which is what I'm doing now...16 hours...looks good on paper...doesn't feel good after a night of softball with friends....2 hours left...I can do this!
