My Weekend in Orlando

So this weekend I was in Orlando for one of my bridal shower's and my bachelorette party. We had a great time thanks to Traci and Gina, who are very thoughtful hostesses. We started out at Traci's house for an afternoon shower, it was great to see all of my O-town friends!! After the shower we headed downtown to the Grand Bohemian hotel. Upon arrival Gina and I spotted a Boston Celtic in the lobby. We later found out that the entire team was staying a floor below us in preparation for their game the next day with the Orlando Magic. Our hotel room was beautiful and we had great view of downtown Orlando from our room. We had a couple of drinks and appetizers at the hotel before we headed out on the town. We enjoyed 80's night at one of our favorite places. It was a very fun night!! I will post some pictures soon! Thanks girls for a wonderful weekend!! Can't wait till the wedding, only 32 days to go!!

Satchel's Pizza

So Dave and I finally made it to the famous Satchel's!! If you are from Gainesville you have probably eaten there or have seen many bumper stickers on cars. Last night we went to Satchel's for a friend's birthday party. There is always a long wait but it is worth it. We enjoyed playing boccee ball while waiting a hour plus for a table. There are other things to keep you entertained while you wait from live music on the back porch, Lighting Salvage their 'gift shop' as well as boccee ball in the back by the parking lot They serve great salad, pizza and calzones. If you live in Gainesville and haven't visited I recommend it and if you are ever here from out of town you should check it out as well!! By the way they only take CASH!!

Back to School!!

So I think I have offically lost it. I am planning a wedding, moving and I started school this week!! I have been thinking of going to nursing school since I moved back to Gainesville so I decided to take the plunge and just do it. Once I told my bosses who are a doctor and a physician assistant they both insist that I do the physician assistant program. So I am looking at nursing, nurse practitioner and physician assistant programs. All are very competitive so I am planning on applying as I am applicable. I already have my bachelor's degree so the only prerequisites I need are the science classes. Wish me good luck and pray for my sanity!

Trading Spaces

Well as most of you know, Dave's mother is letting us live in her house for a few years while she is in a traveling nurse program. So this weekend Dave started moving out of his apartment and into our new home. I won't move in until after the wedding, but since we are starting the process now hopefully we should be close to settled by March 1st. We have been painting, cleaning, and organizing the entire weekend so needless to say we are both exhausted!!

Welcome!!

Since Dave and I are planning our upcoming marriage and life together I thought I would start a blog. Seems like everyone is doing it so I thought I would jump on the band wagon as well. It is also a good way for our family and friends to keep up with us. I am sure my mom will especially enjoy the site since she doesn't think I will every call or visit her once I am married. Enjoy!!
