Nursing Pinning Ceremony

Joey and I have made it through our first year of nursing school! It is tradition to have a pinning ceremony. It is a pin that represents advancement to your senior (2nd year) year of nursing school. We traveled down to Yavapai College- main campus in Prescott.


When we arrived home from Prescott, there were flowers on our doorstep. :-) Thanks Mom and Dad Luster!! They are very pretty!

Naughty Wee Wee

Joey and I decided to put up the X-mas tree and little decorations that we have. Yesterday as we were studying for our final, Mini decided to try and get the Santa ornament off the tree. haha It was very cute, but naughty!

So the car has been trying to crap out on us for awhile..now it may actually be successful. We'll see. Joey is in the process of figuiring out what is wrong with the car.

Thankfully Joey has knowledge of car mechanics, because it has saved us a crap load of money over the years!! God has blessed me with a wonderful hubby who knows how to fix things!

Yesterday, it was in the 30's and poor Joey was out there working on the car while I was inside..warm and comfortable...I was cleaning though..haha ;-) Any who, It will be sooo nice to graduate and be able to afford a newer car with less mechanical problems and pay for repairs if needed. Soon very soon...

Family and Thanksgiving

A few pictures of the family at Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed spending time with our family, it is always a pleasure.

Nanol, Joey's brother left a few days ago to be a musician on a cruiseship for 4 months, so we had a early x-mas for him in Page as well as thanksgiving dinner.Yum, Yum.

WOOF

Just a few pics of family poochies at Thanksgiving. WOOF WOOF

Nursing School..

I am in charge of taking pictures for my nursing class throughout our journey. It is hard because I can only take pictures a few times a month and there isn't really anything that exciting to take pictures of. All of the exciting stuff takes place in clinicals. Due to HIPPA I could not take pictures of students with patients. Anyways...I thought I would post a few pics that I do have of us. The one picture is actually a part of our class at clinicals on Thursdays. The other half of our class has clinicals on Fridays.

Just an exciting thought...This time next year we will be hunting for jobs as new nurseS!! WOOHOO!!

Termination Dust...

So..it is a little late, but I figured I would post a few pics of last weeks 1st snow. We were sitting at home and really not expecting any snow, but in the afternoon came white little flakes.

Kristina's beginning years..

So here are just a few child pics of me that I had scanned awhile back. All of the best pics are with my Dad or Mom. ;-) 

I was born at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, Az on Sept. 18, 1984 to Susan and Mike Scheckel. 

Wow, how time goes by so fast!

Joey's beginning years..

I decided to post a few kid pics of Joey....

Joey was born at Good Samaritan in Phx., Az on February 26, 1982 to Jeanene and Rock Luster. 

He is the middle child of three children. Daniel a.k.a. Nanol is the oldest and Leah is the youngest. 

Our WeeWee..

Somehow I convinced Joey to let me get a puppy. I had my heart set on getting a wiener dog for awhile. We found a breeder and went out almost to Buckeye to pick Mini up. We get to the breeder's house and she decides to let out all of her wiener dogs. There was probably 25 weiner dogs ranging from 2 months old to maybe 10 years old. It was crazy seeing a herd of wiener dogs running around the yard. Well it didn't take us very long to pick her out. We brought her home when she was 8 weeks old. The pic above is of her at 8 weeks. She has tripled in weight since that pic was taken. haha. Now that Mini is older she has a thing for lasers, water bottles, and comfy spots to lay. If we leave our dirty clothes on the floor she will definitely be taking an nap there later.

I guess you could say that Mini is spoiled...;-) We spoil her too much because she is just so stinkin' cute!!
