Butterflies for Maddie

Saturday was the annual Butterflies for Maddie 5K.  Last year our Girl Scout troop participated in the 1/2 mile kids run.  This year the girls wanted to walk the 5K & with Missy (our leader) being pregnant I volunteered to walk the 5K with the girls.  Morgan & I walked the 5K.  I don't have any pictures during the walk because I wanted to have pictures of us crossing the finish line.  We completed the 5K in less than 1 hour.  I was VERY proud!

The kids get a metal for running the kids run.

The Girl Scout get a patch for participating.  This year the patches were super cute :)

The kids had a great time even though the weather was nasty.  During the walk the weather was just cold & cloudy.  When the kids started the fun run it started raining.  The kids ran in the rain.  When the run was over we left because we were all freezing.  The kids are already talking about walking the 5K next year.  This is a awesome fundraiser for a great cause.  If you have never heard of this organization check out the website for more information.

Sunday I did my seventh day of practicum.  Only 3 more days left to go!  WOO HOO!

Three weeks from today is FINALS!!!!  I am ready for a break!  Tomorrow is test day.  I hope the teachers have mercy on our souls.  Between practicum, NCLEX prep plan, journal entries, assignments & lecture I haven't had time to study.  Please keep all Nursing 250 students in your thoughts & prayers.

My creative mom has started a new creation.  Here are a few of the stethoscope covers she has started making.  I LOVE them.  They are so comfortable.  She is selling them for $5.00 each.  If anyone is interested in them let me know.  These are just a few of the designs.

I am still waiting to hear about the job at MCBG.  Now I got to get back to studying...
