darn talene

this is what talene thinks is acceptable to post on her blog...i'm going to get her good...it's on.

stevie

this is one of my bestest friends in the whole world...she is more of a sister than even just a friend. i wanted to take a few seconds to tell her thank you for all she has done for me. i know she doesn't think it's much...but every time i call her she listens. she always takes my side. she is always proud of me. she loves my daughter like she's her own. she knows what i like, but reminds me of what i need. she is the most wonderful, caring, kind, beautiful, freaking hilarious person i know. all of my guy friends and my little brother are in love with her...and rightly so! this is stevie alison snyder-howard and she is team awesome.

what's goin' on?!

family pictures...look how smokin hot bart is... :D

my funny pickle pants...in my brother's mighty mouse costume from when he was little.

having a nap at grandma great's...bart is wonderful to watch her while i run errands and do homework.

free lunch face :)

this is how much I LOVE (NOT) family pictures

i was growing a mustache in nursing classes.

oh la la....maniquin hand in lab!

started summer chem.

started summer RN program.

i take my NCLEX this upcoming monday...a week from today.

went on a date with myself tonight to see harry potter.

it was awesome...please note the resemblance to bart when harry is in the all white station.

bart and i got engaged...getting married in vegas on 9-10-11.

my ring is very pretty.

maddi is 3 and a half and beautiful...she amazes me each and every single day.

she is my whole wide world and it's even better than being a doctor or having a prebaby body.

i love chemistry.

i really don't like my nursing class right now.

bart bought an awesome house...we are both really excited for it.

life is good.

i am blessed.

i don't deserve half of what i have...how did i get so lucky?!?!

commencement

i had to walk in commencement ceremonies for my LPN (against my will) and here are some very hilarious pictures! bart's mom has pictures of pinning ceremony...i'll post them when i can.

i got into the rn program!

i got into the RN program. i graduate LPN may 6th, and start my RN in august and i'll finish my RN in may 2012. yeaaaahhhh boy! it's all fun and games until someone needs a skin graft. :) and i know that this pictures aren't fantastical, but this is what you get when a couple of girls get bored at clinicals and all they have are their cell phones and not one of us has photo shop!

today i took my pn predictor test, it tells you how likely you are to pass the nclex (licensure exam to be a nurse) on your first attempt...i got a 98% likely to pass on first attempt! woot woot. :) almost done with lpn year...will find out if i got into rn program at the end of this month.

love, the kapowskis

our other christmas picture...that i like a lot better!

christmas time is OVER...wooHOO!

dear readers and family and people that are blog stalkers (because you know i don't like you, but i'm too nice to block my blog...because my life is SO wonderful and i like to flaunt that fact ;)),
christmas was great :) we stayed at bart's parent's house last night and his aunt lisa and uncle dan (my all time favorites) came over (they live in california, but they visit most every holiday) and they brought their youngest son, tim(berly according to bart) and his girlfriend, angie...who are also adorable. we did the whole christmas eve story time with grandpa tom and maddi opened some pajamas. this morning talene, jeff, kam, brin, and aydo showed up WAY TOO EARLY ;) and we started opening presents! mad got herself a sweet (indoor) trampoline and a little four wheeler...and LOTS of clothes, dvds, shoes, and surprisingly not a lot of toys (she has way too many any ways...and i don't like cleaning them up) all of which she enjoyed (is still enjoying) very much...so did the other little girls. they have all been sitting/jumping/punching each other out in the tramp all day...i love it. bart got himself a mighty fine scope and some POWER tools and a george foreman and a vaccum for his 16 birds... (LOL) and some clothes. i think (i'm not really sure because bart is VERY hard to read) that he enjoyed his gifts. i read a whole wizard book today...it was excellent. i have not read ANYTHING interesting (or really read anything at all) since the begining of summer semester...and i am SO GLAD TO BE OUT OF SCHOOL on winter break. i ate the majority of a large pumpkin role today...it was fantastical...stevie and k-fed made it...and i LOVED that thing...so did bart's fam...thanks again ste-B. we had lunch with stevie and kev yesterday before we came to bart's parent's house...it was way way good...and stevie made maddi the CUTEST tag blanket. she slept with that thing wrapped around her neck all last night. and talene made her one too that she opened this morning...it is SO cute. i really like these tag blankets! i informed bart this morning that he would be in charge of christmas next year...i will only buy gifts for he and mad...and he is in charge of what i have done for 2 years now...lol...we will see how that turns out next year...i think he will do alright to tell the truth...he just needs encouragement. i did not send out christmas cards this year...i was WAY WAY busy with school and work and maddi and trying to get other things taken care of for the holidays and with bart's rental properties...it has been a crazy season and needless to say I AM SO HAPPY THAT IT IS ALL FLIPPING OVER! merry christmas dirt bags! have a wonderful new year...please don't drive wasted...not even chocolate wasted.
love, kelly kapowski
