there's an app for that.

As of a couple weeks ago, I was the owner of a "dumb phone" and didn't think that a "smart phone" was necessary. Well, my phone was acting up and I was due for an upgrade so I made the leap and got the iphone 4 and I LOVE IT! 
There truly is an app for everything! I already have: AllRecipes, Amazon.com, Blackjack, Betty Crocker Cookbook, FreeCaddie, Grocery iQ, Hello Vino, HeyTell, Instagram, Kindle, Pandora, Starbucks, Starbucks Mobile Card, Skype, Target, and The Weather Channel! 
 
What are some of YOUR favorite apps?

BIG week... Mother's Day!

I got a brand new set of golf clubs as alate birthday present, and I am so excited! We went back to my parents house on Sunday and spent mother's day golfing with my parents on the Northridge Golf Course in Tekamah. It was my first real round of golf, and I had a blast! Luckily everyone was very patient with me and my novice skills : )

BIG week... graduation!

I didn't graduate, but my cousin Cola graduated from UNK with her bachelor's degree in Business Administration-- congrats! Welcome to graduate school!

BIG week... got a job!

Last Wednesday I interviewed twice with Target and was offered the job immediately! I have orientation on Thursday and will be working the floor of the Kearney store soon after that!

BIG week... done with school!

I survived my first year of graduate school! After finishing my finals last week, I can officially say that I am a SECOND year graduate student! Woo hoo! To celebrate, my classmates and I ate at Thunderhead Brewery in Kearney and then headed to Shooters to sing karaoke! We sang Bon Jovi "Livin' on a Prayer"...whooah we're half way there, whoooooooooah livin on a prayer, take my hand and we'll make it I swear!" I felt the song was quite fitting...we're half way done with grad school and we're definitely livin on a prayer!

BIG week

Last week was a very BIG week, starting with the death of Osama Bin Laden...proud to be an American!

speakeasy

A few weekends ago, my classmates Chelsea, Mikki, and I roadtripped to Sacramento, Nebraska, (who knew it even existed, I didn't!) to visit our fellow classmate Shana. Shana and her husband live on an acreage right next to a restaurant called The Speakeasy. We walked to The Speakeasy to eat then spent the rest of the evening making memories and watching reviews of the royal wedding while consuming several bottles of wine! What a fun night!
 Chelsea, Mikki and I in the wind!
The four of us in Shana's kitchen.
