Novembeard

Ryan is 26! His birthday was the 8th, and as a demonstration of his maturity he is growing a Novembeard, and its getting pretty thick. He's going to try to make it to the end of the month without shaving it.

We went to the Real Rock Film Tour last week and saw some really cool climbing movies. Ryan's now even more inspired (didn't think it was possible) to be the best climber he can be.

We've been planning our Vietnam trip and I think we have quite a bit of it finalized. I can't wait to walk around the Old Quarter of Hanoi, kayak in Halong Bay, get a tailor-made dress in Hoi An, motorbike along the beak on Con Dao Island, snorkel in Phu Quoc Island, and explore Ho Chi Minh City. It is going to be an adventure, and so beautiful.

After our Thanksgiving we only have about 2 weeks to go. Thanksgiving, by the way, will be spend with Ry's family in Gates-Mills. It was hard for us to agree on a Thanksgiving with a family, as I had myself convinced it would be a good idea to see both families. It turned out that it would end up being to much driving for not much family time. I think from now On Thanksgiving with be in Gates-Mills, and Christmas will be in Youngstown. I'm really looking forward to Ryan's mom's cooking, his Dad's coffee and breakfast, possible crafting/movie-ing with my new sibling-in-laws and playing with Josh. Not to mention seeing the Nanas and the Pop-pop again.

I had some 5x7's from the wedding framed for the grandparents and parents as a little pre-holiday gift. These are the ones I picked:

RN - "Real Nurse"

I passed the NCLEX! I am a Registered Nurse! I will be looking for an RN position around the 1st of the year. It feels good to be done with school and studying.

I'm going home today until Friday. I'm excited to Zumba with my mom and play with Winston. I'll blog more from home :)

Thousands of words

The professional wedding pictures are finally here! I could barely contain myself as I wated for them to be posted. My mom got a hold of the disc of photos as well as the proof book and she was e-mailing and facebooking some to me to hold me over. Here are just a few of my so-far favorites:
