Shayla's bridal shower was alot of fun! Mariah did a great job putting it together. Everyone had a great time. Shay's wedding is three weeks away now and I could not be happier for her! I hope her and KC have a long and happy life togther! The baby shower is next right Shayla??? Haha. After the shower we went bowling, rode the go-carts, played some arcade games, went to the Lodge for some drinks, and then went up the The Pasta House for dinner! Thanks girls for a great day... I had a blast!

This past weekend, my mom and I headed down to Tucson to do some much needed shopping and I had a doctors appointment. We were able to go out to lunch with some of my family. We went to PF Changs. Oh man is that place delicious! Love it! It was really nice to be able to see my family and relax! My NCLEX exam (my state nursing exam) is scheduled for June 11th and I am starting to get nervous! I know I will pass but it is still scary to think about. Wish me luck, the next couple of weeks I will be studying my butt off!

Graduation was absolutely amazing and I would not have done anything different. I have worked so hard to get to where I am today and it is such a huge accomplishment. It has been the hardest two years of my life but so worth every minute! Now I can only move forward in my career and hopefully be a great nurse!

Engagement pictures and wedding stuff!

Jimmy and I are set to get married on October 3rd. It's about time too! We have been engaged a year and a half and I can't wait to finally make it official. I am slowly planning things, but I have been soo busy with nursing school so I have not done much. Now that school is over, I can get down to business! I got my dress and it is so beautiful! I can't wait to wear it and it kinda bums me out that I can only wear it once. Anyways, life is good. Finishing nursing school is such an accomplishment for me. Now I just have to take my NCLEX and then I will be Ashley Sutton, RN. Then, in just a few short months I will be Ashley Leech, RN. Crazy! I am so thankful and blessed and I can't wait to see what life has in store for me next!
