So the first trip I have gone on was to the ACM's in Vegas. What a cool experience. It was crazy to see all the stars there. All the performances were great but I have to say Miranda Lamberts "Over You" was the one I enjoyed the most just because I love the song so so much . (I have not one picture there though, oops)
Next I got to go turkey hunting for my very first time, and even though I didn't have a tag I enjoyed every second with Mike and Wyatt.
Wyatt was an awesome turkey caller and even though we shot this one on a drive by it still didn't take away from the experience.
This past weekend we headed back to Vegas to see Garth Brooks at the Wynn. This turned out to be one of my favorite weekends.
Friday night me, Tahsh, Mike, Les and Jus all hung out at the Orleans. I got to just enjoy some time with Tahsh and we had a good time while all the others gambled. Not too eventful but great people watching.
Saturday morning Les had a great idea to go to the Hoover Dam in Boulder NV. I have to say I kind of didn't want to go at first but am I so so glad that I did....once again I really need to stop having bad attitudes about things I have never tried. I am not a history person so going here I got to learn new things and can appreciate the Hoover Dam now.

Saturday night we went to Garth and no words would ever describe how much I truly enjoyed this. It literally was so amazing and brought tears to me eyes at least two times. INCREDIBLE!!!
Parts that stick out the most (besides the fact that Garth is beyond sexy)
Him singing If tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
There are points in life where emotions take over and words to songs hit you like a train. Garth singing this song was one of those moments for me. I looked over at Mike and have never felt so blessed, honored, and thankful for him in my life. Every problem that we have had seemed to just disappear at that moment. I know what we share is true and that this man loves me as much as I love him. I don't know what our future holds but I do know that the love he's given me in the past is enough to last, if tomorrow never comes :) cheesy but ya get the point.
The Dance
And now I`m glad I didn`t know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I`d have had to miss the dance
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I`d have had to miss the dance
Listening to this verse of this song stuck out because I felt there was so much truth in the words. There are times that I wish I could plan every part of every day for myself, that way there would be no surprises good or bad. I know even if I could do this though that my life would never be as much fun and amazing as it has been for me. My life is my dance, of course it comes with pain, sacrifice and hurt but the rewards of happiness, thankfulness, and pleasure outweigh all of it. I am so thankful for the opportunities that I have had and the people in my life.
(There are many more things that I could say about life and the pain and suffering sometimes I see as a nurseing students but that will be a whole other post one day to come, when the time is right).
Last but not least (cause lets face it I could go on forever about all his songs) him singing Chris Ledoux's
Rodeo
I love this song and for my own personal reasons of growing up rodeoing.
It puts me back in the truck with my dad and grandpa heading to rodeo's every weekend. It puts me in the shoot with Dash (horse). It puts me in a place of pure comfort and happiness. The saddle is where I grew up, where people knew my name, where some of the best memories I have ever had comes from. Rodeo for me as shaped me in so many ways. I believe it is the reason I work hard and the reason I strive to be the best that I can be everyday.
So there ya have it the last month of my life. Things to come:
-Moab next weekend
I get to do rotations at the
-State hospital
-Labor and Delivery
-Mother, Baby
-and Pediatrics next semester
