My final Finals

This week will mark the end of finals...FOREVER! I'm so excited, stressed, and tired already! I'll finish classes on Friday and start rotations in Greenville on Monday! Sorry there won't be much blogging till after I get situated up there. More to come with pictures from my cousin Heather's wedding this past Saturday! Hope her and Josh are having a wonderful time in ITALY!

500

I just checked the blog and saw that it has been viewed 500 times. I'm excited that this has been something people are interested in. I wish I was able to post more frequent updates, but with school coming to an end, hopefully that will something I can be better at in the future. We did go meet with a potential caterer this past weekend. They seem very nice and the pics of their food looked really tasty! We have a few others in mind that we are going to check out, but this one seemed to have the best prices and the best variety. Well that's all the wedding new for now. Keep checking for more updates.

Party Time

We had a BLAST at Michael and Gillian's party at The Barony House in Moncks Corner. I included a lot of pics because the decorations were fantastic. The food was also incredible! They had everything you could want from sushi to barbecue.

The girls: Heather, me, Amanda, and Gillian. Heather is in pharmacy school and Amanda is Gillian's old room-mate. They are always lots of fun to be with.

The girls with Michael's mom.

All the tables had feathers, candles, chocolates, and crystals.

Hunter asked Michael to be one of his groomsmen.
They are definitely great friends and I'm so excited he agreed to be a part of our big day.

Gillian's Oma and Grandpa dancing the night away.
The Hendrickson's, in the background, were the hosts of the party.

Mashed potato bar! My new favorite and a must have for a reception.

Thanks guys for such a fun night! We had a great time!

Countdown

The countdown has begun. I figured since we are pretty certain about our date that it was time to start the ticker! We went and looked at reception sites this weekend and are leaning towards one that is located on the river. Perks: it's available, there is a deck around the building so guests can go outside, and it's got a great dance floor. Hunter and I were also in a rowing club together in high school for a short time, and this is where we would go to workout with the team. I've also been to a reception there before and enjoyed the space. I also went and looked at dresses with Mom this weekend. Let's just say we both had sticker shock! I had no idea those things could cost so much. But it was really fun getting all dresses up and Mom didn't even cry! I was impressed. Can't wait to go look at more!

Easter

HAPPY EASTER! Hope everyone had a great Easter.
Don't have many pics because it was too cold to stay outside!

Third Year Dinner

Last Thursday we had our P3 Dinner for the third year pharmacy students. It was a great time to get together and meet everyone's boyfriends/fiancés/husbands that we hear about all the time. It was also our last official duty before we end the year and start rotations all over the state. The next time we'll all be together like this is for graduation next May! We had a great dinner at the Colonial Center, which is where the basketball team plays. We had an Italian menu with a pasta bar, delicious meatballs, and lots of desserts! It was sponsored by Wal-Mart, so we had to listen to a presentation about why we should work for them. Then we had a slide-show of pics from the past 3 years of all our classmates. It was a fun and exciting, but sad at the same time. We have become so close being that the other 104 people are the main people I have contact with and that we have all sat in the same seat in the same room for 3 years!

Tina, Lacey, and Me. Lacey is my room-mate and Tina is Lacey's friend. They met in pre-pharmacy classes and I met Tina in pharmacy school. We are all great friends, along with Kim, who was not there at the time we took the picture. We all sit beside each other in class.
