Let's Get Moving!

Last Thursday and Friday was moving day! I had been packing up our apartment little bits at time but still had lots to do on Thursday when my parents arrived. We packed up pretty much everything in boxes so that on Friday when the moving truck arrived we could just load it up! 

Friday at about 10 we started taking everything outside and putting it in parking spaces...hope nobody wanted front row parking spots because between our stuff, vehicles, and the moving truck, we probably took up 10! haha..well that is slightly exaggerated...but not much... :)

By 2:30 the truck was loaded, our apartment inspected, and we were ready to say see ya Nashville! It was great living there for 2 years. I will miss the friends we made, the great restaurants, my job, our church, and yes our apartment (even though it did flood and air never really blew out of the vents in our bedroom). However, I will NOT miss the traffic!!! 

One last dinner in Nashville on Thursday night with Josh and Amanda :)

One last look at our apartment! Good bye Nashville....Hello Knoxville!

Going Away Dinner :(

Monday night was my going away dinner with work friends. These friends have become some of my best friends and I am truly going to miss them! I loved my job but I think I really loved my job because of the people I worked with. I worry that I won't find that again in a new job but I know God has a plan. Anywho back to the farewell dinner..

We ate at Saint Anejo and it was delicious! I had my last day of work last Friday and then we had all planned on eating on Monday night. A couple girls came after work and some left there Memorial Day BBQ's to come and eat...how sweet are they?? We had so much fun eating and hanging out and it was a pretty sad goodbye. I know I will see them again soon! Its only a 2 and a half hour drive!

Girls--thanks for all of the great memories at work and for all the fun times we had! You made living a Nashville a blast! Love you all!

This is a joke right....My name is Curtis Jenkins...and I have two forms of ID

Last Wednesday Curt was suppose to take his NAPLEX. Well long story short he didn't get to because he signed up as Curtis Jenkins and his drivers license says Curtis Michael Jenkins. How ridiculous. The worst part was that a nursing student was there to take the NCLEX and she started freaking out when they turned Curt away because she didn't put her middle name on her testing thing. But they told her...."O its ok for the NCLEX, just not the NAPLEX." What????? Anyway Curt was super prepared and ready to take it and he didn't get to :( He was so upset...my heart was breaking for him! 

So to cheer him up what did we do??? Play mini golf of course!

We didn't know when Curt would be able to take the test again and that had him worried but he got the go ahead and was able to resign up for the test. He takes it Saturday June 7 at 2:45 pm. So put it in your calendar and pray!!! He takes it in Decatur, AL which actually works out well because we will continue our drive after to Gulf Shores to spend the next week at the beach! Yahoo!!

Lets Get Crafty...

I had a couple days off last week during the week so Curt and I headed to Cape to hang out with the fam. It was the last trip we will make to Cape with only a 3.5 hour drive. Nooooooo!!! Hahah! Curt studied. A lot. And I got crafty :)

Mom, Whit, and I had bought these picture frame/initial things unfinished at the flea market. I brought it so we could paint and finish them. Mom and I had fun doing it! The next night Whit taught us how to make her famous cookies! Lets just say it does require a lot of steps and she definitely needs to be charging more. But it was super fun to learn and I would say I wasn't terrible for my first time!

My first attempt. Not too terrible :) Clearly I forgot to take a picture and had already taken a bite. Whoops!
Amanda I know I can get a lot better. A cookie business may be in our near future :)

Sweet Honeymoon Friends

When Curt and I went on our honeymoon, we sat next to this guy on the airplane who looked about Curt's age. He was holding a cup of coffee and immediately fell asleep. Curt and I wondered if we should grab the cup so it didn't spill or wake him up??? But I did not want spilled coffee all over me, ha! Well, he actually held that coffee the entire time and managed to sleep a couple of hours. Impressive. When he woke up that is how we broke the ice, ha!

Long story short, him and his wife (Patrick and Caitlin), got married the same day we did, live in Nashville, and Caitlin is a nurse at Centennial. Can you say God's work was in that meeting or what???!! We had so much fun getting to know them on the honeymoon and even planned a zip-lining course to do together on the honeymoon. We exchanged numbers and have hung out ever since in Nashville and Caitlin pretty much got me a job at Centennial. Yahoo!

Last Monday Patrick and Caitlin took us to dinner at The Southern (woah fancy!) in honor of Curt graduating and us moving away. They are too sweet!!!! We have loved getting to know them and they have become some of our greatest friends! Who knew you could meet friends in Antigua :) We are truly going to miss them but know that they will always have a place to stay in Knoxville when they come for UT games! Love you guys so much!

 

Yes, You May Now Call Him Dr. Jenkins

Just kidding....but seriously... 

Curt graduated Pharmacy School two weekends ago and is officially a doctor of pharmacy!!!! Yahoo!!!!! I am so proud of him!!

Curt's parents, grandma, sister (her husband and their 2 kids), my parents, my sister (and her husband and their 2 girls) all made the trip!!!!! Friday morning we attended a pharmacy only graduation where they were all presented with their hoods and all the awards were handed out. Unfortunately, Curt did not win any but he did win "Best Sense of Humor Award" and "Person You'd Want to be Stranded on an Island With Award" the day before. I was waiting for them to announce that but it didn't happen, ha! Friday night we all headed to Puckett's Boathouse for a big family dinner congratulating Curt. It was great! Amanda (Curt's sister) and Whit both have 3 year olds. Mollie is about 6 months older than Brynn, but I was so excited for them to meet again. They had met each other once when we got married but were so young. They really hit it off and it was so fun to see them play together! Saturday morning we all got ready for Curt's real graduation. I believe when Curt was hooded there were tears from all of the parents, ha! I was about to get emotional but I held it together! It really was so neat to see Curt walk across the stage as a doctor of pharmacy! I am truly so proud of Curt!!! After graduation, we all got a bite to eat and ate outside. It was wonderful!!! 

After lunch everybody headed home. It was an absolute great weekend celebrating Curt's accomplishment. We are all so proud of him!!! Love you so much Curt!

Now keep studying hard and pass your boards!

Here is the weekend in pics..
