The Shipp's are in the House

My dear friend Julie Shipp came down with her family for a visit this weekend. I met her on the first day of nursing school orientation and we have hit it off ever since. We had such a blast with them. Beach, BBQ, hot tubing, swimming till dark, hiking, double date, and desserts. I can't wait till they come back!

Julie & Meredith
Julie is a special friend....she was with me through all the ups and downs of nursing school. We studied together EVERY NIGHT in the library together till closing. We would share a seat on the bus at 5 am that would take us to the hospital for our clinical. We went to Mexico together for a Pediatrics rotation. We took our RN boards together and thought we flunked together (both ended up passing). Got our first RN job together. We had missionaries out at the same time. Went on double dates together. We were there for each other when each got our Mr. Rights. Love ya Jules.
