Since I am all done with school, I have more time to do fun things! My sister came over and we

made cake pops! They are so fun and so easy. yummy!

What we have been up to

So most of you know that I am not a very dedicated blogger, but I do try to update all 6 of our followers whenever I can =)! Since my graduation on June 18th, there has been a lot going on in our little family!

We celebrated our first of many anniversaries on June 26! And because Gerrit is so busy with school and with both of us working on the weekends we weren't able to do a short getaway this year, but did enjoy a fun day eating out for every meal and enjoying a beautiful day in Long Beach at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It was so good to just have a day to ourselves just relaxing and enjoying each other! I just have to say that I love my husband SO much. Its crazy. Cant wait to celebrate so many more years as your wife!

On July 13, I took the NCLEX-RN exam and 3 days later found out that I passed! I am an official RN! It feels SOO good to say that. AND I found out yesterday that I am officially employed as a Registered Nurse at Riverside Community Hospital! God has been SO good to us. I am amazed everyday at how He provides for us!

Gerrit is finishing up his first year at Southern California University of Health Sciences! One down, three to go!! It has been a tough year with him being gone at school all the time, but we know that this is a season and we are looking forward to what God has planned for us in the next few years!

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to!

For our anniversary we ate breakfast at Panera Bread, lunch at

La Creperie, and dinner at Casual Elegance. Fun day.

I Finally Graduated from College!!!

It has been so long since I have blogged anything, and so many things have happened since then! On June 18, I graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing! It was a great day. I'm somewhat relieved, but I still have the California State Boards (NCLEX-RN Exam) to take.... on July 13! SOO close. Here are some pics of graduation, my party afterwards, and from my pinning ceremony!

Long Jump Competition

This past friday Erin and I had some of our good friends over for dinner, and Bailey seemed to be the entertainment. We were trying to see how far she could jump off of the couch (one of her favorite pastimes). She was loving all the cheering and attention focused on her. She had a few funny spills, but managed to impress all of her guests with her athleticism.

Soon we will post pictures of her new hair style... (I can't believe I'm blogging about a dog)

Proud Parents

For the longest time I have wanted a dog, even before we got married. And because of Gerrit's extremely busy school schedule, and my not so busy schedule, I have had a lot of time alone

at home. So after hours of looking online, we found a puppy! She is a YorkiePoo and is so so adorable!!

Yes, we are proud parents!

She is the cutest puppy in the entire world (and I don't say that just because we are her parents, she REALLY is!) We have had Bailey for about 2 weeks now and can't believe how much we love her! Gerrit can't get any studying done because he just wants to play and cuddle with her =). Not only is she so cute, her personality is hilarious.

Meet Bailey

She finds the funniest positions comfortable.

Bailey's first bath. She did

so good!
