Things I'm Loving Right Now

I would have to say the first thing on this list would be my husband! He is so adorable and he tries so hard. For example, I came home last Friday from my first day at work and he had bought me pink, yellow, and purple roses and a Halloween bowl full of goodies! Some of the things in that bowl were more random/odd than others (the random Nutcracker soldier guy for example) but it totally made me laugh and that is why I married Josh.

Next on the list is my new job! I love it!!! My coworkers are so awesome and so are my patients. Getting up at 4 in the morning (soon to be 3:30 when we move to Bountiful) has been challenging but it's also nice to only have to go into work 3 days a week. Thanks Mari! I totally owe you one!

I have also been loving the beautiful fall weather we've been having here in Utah. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to go on walks for hours just thinking and looking at the beautiful leaves changing colors. Sadly, it got really cold suddenly and I'm thinking my walking days might be over for the season :(.

I love watching The Office! I always thought it was such a stupid show but then Josh made me start watching it from the beginning and now I am hooked! The best part of my day is when Josh comes home and we make dinner and watch a bunch of episodes while we cuddle on the Love Sac and laugh our heads off.

I am in love with this Green Tea HP drink I bought from the mall. It gives me energy and helps curve hunger! I just get a water bottle and pour in the little packet and off I go! My favorite lately has been the Hot Apple Cider flavor. It's perfect with this weather!

I also love my friends. Nursing school, college room-mates, high school, elementary school, you all know who you are! I adore you all and I wish we all had more time to see each other and catch up.

Life is good :).

Another Round of Updates!

Okay, here it goes. This has been our life over the past few weeks. Some days have been better than others, but overall, it has been one big party!!

1) I've been working as an Immunizations Nurse for a private company called Mollen Immunizations. It has been a good job that has helped bring in money until the long-term career appears.

2) AND IT APPEARED!!! I am now a Nephrology Nurse for Wasatch Dialysis!!!! I start on Friday and I am sooooooooooo excited! It has taken me 6 months to finally land a permanent job which is ridiculous (don't believe anyone who tells you that nursing is where the jobs are at). I have had a rough time trying to be okay with things not turning out the way I had planned as far as my career goes. It has been a good lesson learning time for me and I have learned a lot about myself and what I could do to make my faith stronger....because I'm not going to lie, it has been pretty weak lately. Josh has been amazing through it all and I am very grateful to have such a patient husband.

3) We took a trip to Virginia Beach right after we went to Florida. Josh had a job interview there and we decided to make a vacation out of it! It was absolutely beautiful and we had lots of fun in the water!

4) I have become addicted to Pinterest. It is such an awesome website! I love all the cute ideas and yummy recipes that I am constantly finding! If you haven't checked it out yet, hop to it! You won't regret it, I promise :).

5) Josh turned 27 this weekend! I've teased him a ton about being "SO OLD" but I guess pretty soon I will be up there too! I don't feel 23 and I definitely don't want to turn 24! Life is just zooming by. I surprised him on Friday with a trip to Wendover on the Fun Bus. It really was a blast! We got free buffet passes and they gave us each 10 dollars to gamble with! I ended up winning money by playing roulette (much smarter than playing the slot machines). The next day we went to Rodizzio Grill to celebrate his birthday and my getting a job. We then did some shopping where my amazing hubby bought me a pair of cute $90 high heels that were on sale for $35! Gotta love Nordstrom Rack :). On Sunday we went to my brother in law's house and ate homemade chicken parmesan and cupcakes! It was quite the birthday celebration.

6) We have decided to move to Bountiful in December. Josh's dad offered his basement apartment to us and it worked out perfectly because our lease ends in December! That will save us lots of money and hopefully help us pay off my student loans faster.

7) I've been doing really good with my work-out goals and I am starting to feel great! Since I will be working 3 days a week (12-14 hours a day) with my new job, that will leave me with at least 2 days during the week to hit the gym and we will see if I have the drive to go on the weekends. . . that's always really hard. Once we move to Bountiful, Josh and I are going to get gym passes to Gold's Gym! I am so excited!!! I can't wait to try out their aerobics, pilates, yoga, dance classes, etc. That's one part of college I've really missed. I always took a fun exercise class each semester.

That's about all I can think of right now. Life has been really busy but that always makes it fun. I would much rather be busy than bored. I hope you are all doing great as well!
