We decided to get up early to go to the gym today (we are doing 2 a days like we are back in high school)So we did that then I went to work as did Stephen, I worked at Target from 830-1230 came home had lunch and headed back to work for my second shift from 300-900 totaling 10hrs of work for me today! I just got home a little while ago and I am headed back to the gym where Stephen is waiting for me! By the way Im STARVING! Anyways thats my day here is whats going on next week! Stephen and I are leaving Sunday morning for Ky, I have a job interview at my dream job on Monday morning and he has an interview at UPS also my dream job (they will pay tuition). We are meeting with the apartment complex we hope to live in later that day and hopefully signing our lease! All of these places are about a mile from the school and will be extremely conveniant. We will be coming home Wednesday morning! Only to return to our wonderful jobs on Thursday! I hope everyone is having a lovely week and feel free to call and check in on us anytime! Peace out!

Nikki's Birthday

I think this is my first time to post an entry on our blog. My wife is much better than I in keeping up to date with these things. Anyways, today is the 20th which means that Nikki's birthday is less than a month away. In case anyone is wondering what to get her, she has posted several gift idears on the target website. You can access her wish list here.

Medical Dictionary

Debbie got me a Medical Dictionary for Graduation. It is amazing!

Lan and Ging

Lan loves Ginger. They were being so sweet playing together. Lan was trying to kiss her on the mouth. He also has a strange infatuation with her crate...

Babysitting Rashid

Here are a couple pictures of us and our wild adveture of babysitting. The night was not completely horrible but it did confirm that we are NOT ready for a baby! We love Abida and Zi and we would do it again anyday! We are just glad that they finally got a night out without the baby!

Stephen's Graduation

Here are some pictures from Stephen's graduation and the party.

I also wanted to thank everyone who came out to help us celebrate. We had a wonderful day and we appreciate all of your love and support.
Thanks again,
Tha Vedros

Thanks

Thank you for your prayers! I know that is the only way I could have done so well! My test was Tuesday at 9am, I finished around 11:30. It is a computerized test and it is absolutely nerve racking while you are waiting for it to calculate your score...it takes less than a minute but feels like an eternity! My school requires an 850 to graduate and I made a 1020. That is basically 90% which is better than I could have ever imagined! I scored in the top 94% but to be honest I wasn't sure if I had passed or failed and I had made peace with retaking the test (you are allowed 3 tries and it gets harder each time).Praise God for the knowledge he has given me to care for people in need. I am blessed to work in this profession. Thanks again.

Please Pray!

Please remember me in your prayers. I have a final tomorrow and I will be taking the HESI Tuesday which is a standardized test given by my school. A passing grade is required to graduate. I am extremely nervous. I would also just like to point out that I am posting this @ 1:30am b/c I have been reading like a crazy person for the past 5 hours! Now I am going to try and get some sleep. I also have a drug test tomorrow for my new job...you can pray that I will pass that too....Im pretty sure I am in the clear! lol.

Summer Job

Well I just got a job at Target for the summer. My husband is not quit as excited as I am b/c they don't pay a nurses salary. I think it will be fun and I get a discount! I know it sounds silly to get a low paying job when I could make 4x as much as a nurse but it costs a company quit a bit of money to hire a new nurse and I don't think if would be fair to start only to quit after a couple months! Target hired me knowing that it will be temporary. I spend all of my time shopping there anyway now I will just get paid to be there!

Perfect Plan

Stephen and I were going through some old pics for his faith and culture class and we came across this. I thought it was pretty humorous! This is at youth camp in 2001 (I was 13 and Stephen was 16). Its amazing to think that even then God had a plan to bring us together! Who knew...I mean really he had blue hair!!!

Happy B-Day!

My Memaw also had a birthday this week!

Happy B-Day!

Yesterday I went out to my parents to celebrate my Grandma's birthday...here are a few pics.

Happy Birthday!

Dallas Life

Here is a picture of Barton, Julie and myself serving dinner at The Dallas Life Foundation. Our Sunday school class went to help out and Denny preached a message.

Body Worlds

I went to Body Worlds a couple weeks ago and I really enjoyed it! Here is a pic of me and some of the girls from my class!

Senior Banquet

Last night was Stephen's senior banquet @ Criswell. The food was great and all of the wives got a P.H.T(Put Honey Through) Degree. We forgot our camera but here is a pic of us afterwards!

Who's Who

My husband and I have about 14 messages on our answering machine and we rarely check them. We get so many calls every week for reservations to Inwood events that we don't bother playing them all. Unfortunately we got a very important message that was never heard and my husband went about his day today as usual...Stephen is exempt from chapel b/c he works some days during that hour and so today even though he was not working he didn't attend, instead he sat in a class room to study. While he was studying he kept hearing clapping and was wondering why...come to find out it was awards chapel! And to his surprise...he won an award! Who's Who. Apparently it is an award given by the faculty @ the college but we aren't exactly sure b/c he missed it. We picked up the certificate and we are now looking for a frame! I am so proud!

The Storm

I guess I jumped the gun by posting how crazy our week was. Friday was by far the worst! I had orientation at school yesterday that ended at 11:30 but since the school has been receiving complaints about students leaving early they decided to keep us in class all day doing absolutely nothing! I ended up leaving school @ 2:00 when I got a text from Stephen saying I needed to pick him up b/c he had a migraine! He has only had one other migraine since we have been married and what happens is everything gets really blurry, his head starts pounding, he cannot open his eyes and he spends most the day vomiting. It is really awful! I called my best friend Abida and let her know that he wasn't going to be able to help me set up so I would need help trying to cook spaghetti for 50! I gathered all my cooking supply from the apartment and headed down and as I was unlocking the door....the tornado sirens start going off! So I had to print off signs to cancel the event and come home to take cover! Stephen was already in the bathroom so that was good! I was trying to get me hammock and lawn chairs off the balcony! Everyone was calling to make sure we were safe not knowing that I was running around like chicken with no head, and Stephen was blowing chunks! We do appreciate your concern, and thanks for checking in on us! In the end my good friend Julie had some dinner for us and Debbie brought over some prescription migraine medicine for Stephen and we watched happy feet! We didn't wake up this morning until about 12:00! I will wait until the week is over to post next time!

This Week...

This week was absolute chaos! Stephen had a 30 page paper due and a sermon to preach and I had 2 test. Everything went well, Stephen informed me that his sermon was great , he got a lot of positive feedback (his class critiqued him) and I did fairly good on my tests (I got an 87 in Peds which is much better than my last test). Tomorrow I have orientation for Terrell psychiatric hospital. I will be going there for my clinical rotation next Monday and Tuesday. To be perfectly honest I am scared to death! I will update afterwards! Hope everyone is having a lovely week!

New Blog

I finally decided to make a blog. Stephen and I will be moving to Kentucky in July and I wanted to be able to keep all of our friends and family here in Texas up to date with everything that is going on. I will try to update regularly but I am not mkaing any promises! Just to catch up with everything thats going on now...we will both be graduating in May. Stephen will be getting his undergrad from The Criswell College and I will graduating from Dallas Nursing and sitting for my LVN boards. When we get to Kentucky he will be attending Southern Seminary for his Masters of Divinity and I will be in an ADN (RN) program. We are extremely excited about the big move but at the same time it will be a huge change for us since we have both lived in Dallas our whole lives! It is going to be hard but we trust that God will use this for his glory and teach us new things about himself !
