6 Month Update....February Fun

In February Preston and I went to the Accenture Match Play Tournament. The tournament was played at the Ritz-Carlton only about 15 minutes from our house and two courses up from where Preston works. Preston was in golfing heaven. I was able to take photos on one of the practice days and I even got to shake Padraig Harrington's hand.

6 Month Catch Up Continued….December 2009

December was a great month. We went down to Mesa with Shane, Ky and Maylen to look at the beautiful Christmas lights.

We enjoyed some Café Rio, great ice cream and best of all some great company.

We were able to spend our Christmas in Burley with the Preston's family. We were so lucky to be able get away from work and really enjoyed the time away.

We got to spend time with our beautiful nieces who are getting just so big. I got to be Santa Clause and they were the reindeer driving my sleigh all over the house.

Preston was very honored to give Olivia and Alexis a special blessing, it was a great day.

6 Months of Catch Up…starting with October 2009

Here is a quick little catch up of the last 6 months in the Otte household.

We'll start with October 2009.

Preston went to Florida to test for PGA Level One and we are proud to say he PASSED!

I passed my boards late September, on the first try, thank goodness and was so lucky to get a job at UMC. It was a rocky road after graduation as far as the job market goes but was so relieved to be hired on to 3NE, an adult medical surgical unit. I started working mid-October and it was definitely a steep learning curve! I had a great preceptor named Serah, who thankfully was very patient.

To round out October, Preston and I went to an awesome Halloween party at our good friends Shane and Kylee's.

In honor of our friends who love The Office, Dwight and Angela came to their party and to our awesome surprise, Shane and Ky dressed up as us.

It was awesome and my mouth dropped when they opened the door.

Graduation

After 14 months of tests, assignments, clinicals, and my favorite nursing diagnoses, I couldn't have been more excited for graduation. It was great to have Preston and my parents there to celebrate the day.

Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement through out the past year.

A Beautiful Wedding

Two weeks after Bear Lake, I was able to fly back up to Utah to attend Miss Whitney's wedding. Whitney became Mrs. Hansen when she married the love of her life, Tyler. Whitney is one of my Plasma Center friends and I will always hold our Corner Dance Party events close to my heart. She looked absolutely stunning and I felt so honored to be a part of her wedding celebration.

Bear Lake Adventures

Preston and I were very lucky to be able to make it to Bear Lake this year for the Otte Family Camping Adventures! It worked out perfect with my school schedule and Preston was able to sneak away from the golf course without any trouble. We had an absolute blast and were so happy to see the family and good old Utah. Here are some photos from our weekend.
