Tucson!
The beautiful wife and I went to a resort in Tucson for Memorial Day weekend - it was NICE!
We sat out by the pool, played tennis, read, walked around, played cards...it was a great weekend!
Here's some pictures.

Braski visit!
We went to Braski last weekend for Kelsey's graduation and to hang out with the fam!
Here's some cool pics :-) Enjoy!
Also, Lea and I have been married for 192 days today, and I just wanted to mention - I got the sweetest card/note from Lea yesterday when I got home from work - I loved it! It made my day - actually possibly my week. I brought it to work so I could look at it more. Love you Lea!

Nurses' week
This week is nurses' week, so send flowers, candy, or a card to your favorite nurse!
Also, I wanted to share some excerpts from this article to educate us a bit more about nurses and the wonderful work they do. :-)
- The "gentle spirit" of nursing has made a huge impression on the American people, according to public opinion polls. Nurses are seen as trustworthy, capable and conscientious caregivers, critical to the health care system.
- A poll by Vanderbilt University's Medical Center's School of Nursing
and Center for Health Services Research in Nashville, Tenn., showed that 95 percent of Americans overwhelmingly trust, respect and admire nurses, and that 83 percent would encourage a loved one to enter the nursing profession.
- While most people know that nurses are responsible for bedside care, administering IVs, giving injections and drawing blood, fewer than four in 10 people know that nurses are involved in reducing health care costs, working in laboratories or writing and revising hospital and clinic policies.
- "My personal experience has been that nurses are of more help than doctors. They seem to be more committed," said Walt Baker, community affairs director at Channel 2 KBCI-TV in Boise (after seeing how they cared for members of his family).
- Only half of Americans know that RNs must have a bachelor's or an associate's degree.
- Fewer than one in five know that nurses must be licensed.
- Less than 20 percent of Americans know that RNs must have continual education.
- More than two in three Americans do not know that nurse practitioners are allowed to prescribe drugs.
And to my favorite nurse in the world - my wife Lea - I just want to say thank you for all that you do. I am so impressed by your abilities and happy to celebrate National Lea Week!! (hey, I can rename it if I want!)
Also, I just want to point out that I am so lucky that I don't need to be suffering from an illness to see Lea everyday!
