Officially A Registered nurse with a job!





Wow! This has been one crazy summer! First I graduated with my associates in nursing in April. At the time I was engaged and planning a wedding too. Then I took my NCLEX-RN on June 24th and passed!! Waiting those couple of days to find out if I passed or not was torture! So when I found out I passed I didn't immediately start looking for jobs because I was getting married in a couple of weeks. I was working at UVRMC at the time anyways and my manager said that she wanted to hire me as soon as there was a position available. It's definitely nice to have your foot in the door. So I was not too worried about finding a job. I got married on July 8th and went on my honeymoon. When I returned and everyone started asking me when I was going to start working as a nurse then I got a little worried. But no reason to be worried because I got a job on Monday last week working at UVRMC Medical/Surgical 6th floor at nights. So this week was my first three shifts. They were long and I'm still exhausted, but I hope I adjust soon:) So this is a picture of me going to work my first shift as an RN!! And some of my graduation pinning ceremony back in April. My aunt Amy who is also an RN pinned me there.

Newlywed and Enjoying Summer



So it has been way too long since I updated this thing sorry..
..Anyways biggest news is I'm married to a wonderful man named Tyler Toyn! Married life is so good! We went on a Baja, Mexico cruise for our honeymoon too. I was so excited to go on a cruise and it was a lot of fun. My favorite port was Catalina Island. We snorkeled at "Lovers' Cove" and saw tons of fish! Then in Mexico we went to
a natural blow hole by the ocean. Now that we are home we have been putting our apartment together in American Fork and enjoying the sun:) We just returned from a family vacation to Bear Lake. It was fun too. I went wake boarding and got up on my first try!! Having eight children under the age of six with us was definitely challenging and was a good form of birth control for me haha! Well that's a little bit of what has been going on with the Toyn's...pictures of our adventures to come soon!
