Really... REALLY GREAT News!

No... I'm NOT pregnant for the Nth time!!! Geez! LOL... How come everytime I tell someone I've got some great news, they quickly assume I'm pregnant?!?!

Anyways... I'm SOOOO HAPPY for my sister!!! Kathryn passed the NCLEX nursing board exams!!! She took it last Tuesday and she felt kinda bummed out about it because she thought she hadn't made it... Well, if there's one thing in common between my sister and I, it would be this... that we both FREAK OUT so easily on exams... and then it turns out that we did really good anyway. I used to do this ALL THE TIME at FSU, then at the end of the semester, Rob would always be like "I TOLD YOU SO..." Oh well... It runs in the family... (at least with me and Kathryn!)

So, now my sister's a Registered Nurse (RN)... I know, some people might be like "No BIG DEAL!"... Well, IT IS a BIG DEAL... because IT IS VERY VERY RARE that someone passes the NCLEX exam with ONLY ONE TRY!!! A lot of nurses keep trying and trying year after year and they still HAVE NOT PASSED the boards... I told you my sister would pass because she's just so smart!!! Now, it's definitely party time! The last time I talked to her, she and Kevin were planning on going to Destin or Panama City for a weekend during Kevin's Spring Break. So, if the weather's good, I'm definitely in...

In other news... One of my bestfriends (since 9th grade) is ENGAGED!!! Whoohooo!!! Annette Diane de Kloet is marrying her college sweetheart--Eric! The funny thing is that Annette and I are totally opposites, but are still alike in so many ways. She's blonde-haired, blue-eyed and has a body trainer's physique. She prefers tanned guys (Latinos and Asians) and that's why she fell for Eric. Eric's half-Filipino, born and raised in the mid-West, but he looks more Filipino than White. Anyways, they met at FSU (Of course... Go NOLES!) and they're both in the same field--Biomedical Engineering. Eric got his Masters in 2005 and Annette graduated a week before our wedding. They then moved to Eric's hometown--Cincinnati, OH, where Annette is in the Prestigious IGERT program for University of Cincinnati while taking her Masters in BioMed Engineering.

I know she's VERY happy right now, but the last time I spoke to her, she told me how much she misses Tallahassee... I really miss hanging out with her and am looking forward to next weekend when she comes for a visit... She was really supportive while I was planning my wedding (I guess she had to... she was one of my bridesmaids... LOL), but it just sucks that I can't do much for her right now... Anyways, the date has not been set, but she did tell me that she wants a beach wedding, somewhere in the Destin area. I'm sure it'll be gorgeous :-) I can't wait...
