a great book

So one of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to read. I haven't been able to read quite as frequently over the last two years since I was trying to read through school at the same time. I enjoyed the Twilight series among several others, but I am delighted to have a bit more spare time to read now that school is over. Currently I am reading Julie & Julia (pictured above)- which is the inspiration for the new movie coming out this Friday with Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. The book is fantastic so far!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to read...


Work is going well for both of us, but very busy! Spence is now in the ICU for the month and has a grueling schedule. After finishing a 32 hour shift today, he has been in bed ever since (the last 8.5 hours)- and I'm thinking he'll sleep through tomorrow- deservedly so. I am continuing to learn a great deal every day and wonder if I will ever be able to retain it all. Overall- it is exciting to both be doing what we've longed to do for a long time now... here's a look at Spencer in his uniform- he appears a bit tired!

4 Years




Yesterday, July 23rd, we celebrated four years of marriage. It's amazing to think of how much has changed in that short period of time. We've lived in 3 different states, started and finished school, started careers, bought a home, and many more things in between. We definitely consider ourselves blessed, and I can't wait to see what the next four years bring!




It's been a while....


So it has been forever since I last updated on here. We have been settled into our new home here in Columbia for about 6 weeks now- I can't believe it! We absolutely love our neighborhood and neighbors. Above is a picture of us from our cul-de-sac party on the 4th of July. We've also gotten to spend a lot of time with the other residents in Spencer's class and their spouses/S.O.'s. We both are so amazed at how smoothly the move went and how quickly we have started to feel at home here in SC! What a blessing!
Work has also begun. We are both putting in some long hours at the hospital and are constantly studying on our off time to try and learn as much as we can. It's exhausting, but each day gets a little easier. Spence is finishing up his month in the E.R. and next month will be in the ICU. I am working in the Medical ICU and taking Critical Care classes also. Occasionally we run into each other at the hospital and get to have lunch together or just catch up. It makes it nice to see each other at work when many times we pass each other during the night or day.
That is a brief rundown of life currently. I promise more details in the near future!

Crawfish Boil Party

Our friends Brian & Jenny were incredibly generous to throw us a Crawfish Boil Going Away party. We had an absolute blast- wish I had more pictures to share. We had a great turn out of friends and family. I believe that we polished off ~70 lbs. of crawfish, a huge pot of gumbo, and many other appetizers, snacks and desserts. Thanks so much for the party!

It is very bittersweet right now for us as we prepare to move. The last 2 years in Little Rock have been so much fun, and we have thoroughly enjoyed being closer to our families and friends. It is definitely sad to leave everything and everyone here behind, but at the same time we are extremely excited to get into our new house and get settled.

Everyone please come visit us sometime soon! Our home will be open anytime to you!

Lauren's Graduation

Graduation was long, but it was exciting to feel as though it is all finished. I take the NCLEX (board exam) on 6/3, and then I will begin my new job in Columbia on 6/26!

Spencer's Graduation



We had a GREAT time in Pikeville last weekend. There were multiple events for several days, and Spence and I really enjoyed getting to visit with old friends. I really enjoyed seeing friends and coworkers that helped me get through those tough first couple of years when Spence lived in the library. It was especially fun for us to catch up with his classmates that we haven't seen in 2 years and find out where they were headed as well.

It is truly amazing how quickly time flies by... four years have already come and gone- amazing!

Congratulations, Dr. Robinson! We are all so proud!!

Happy Birthday Mama!


Yesterday was my sweet Mama's birthday. For those of you who know Libby, I know you'll agree that she is the kindest and most generous woman on earth! Hope you had a great day, Mama! (Sorry for such an old picture)
