Wow...

Wow... It has been quite a long time since my last attempt to explore my creative ability through a blog, haha. I would like to start using this blog as a place for me to sort out my thoughts and even vent out my frustrations. Also to update whoever may care about what is going on in my life right now.

Right now I'm doing pretty much my favorite thing to do in life... relax on the couch with Chris!! It is so nice to have a day to do absolutely nothing. Of course, there is plenty I should be doing including some housework among other less interesting things. But oh well, while Chris is taking a nice nap next to me, I thought I would take this opportunity to just write a little.

For those of you that I haven't kept in touch with as well as I should have, this has been quite an exciting and exhausting summer for us. We started it off with an awesome trip to Disney World with Marisa and Scott. We had a great week just spending time with them and relaxing. Then a few days later I started a new job on the MICU at work. I have had the opportunity to learn so much and get to know so many incredible people in the last few months there. I have also had the chance to appreciate the different kinds of nursing that are out there and get a feel for what I really love about nursing and what I don't love quite as much. It has broadened my perspective about nursing and given me quite a peace about where I want to go with my career, of which I wasn't quite sure about before I started.

Not long after starting the new job, Chris and I moved out of our tiny 1 bedroom apartment and into our new townhouse!! That itself is a huge accomplishment for us, it seemed as if we were never going to buy a home there for awhile! Well, it finally happened. Thanks to our awesome family we were able to get everything moved within one day!! We absolutely love our new place and are so happy that God has blessed us with it. Our little Tinkerbell loves it also, especially standing up and looking out the huge front windows to keep an eye on our neighbors. Our basement is still a huge mess of stuff that I have yet to have the motivation to organize, but I'm sure the time is coming, sooner or later.

Well, now that fall is here, the main thing on our mind is our annual trip to Myrtle Beach next month! We are so excited about it. I am so ready for fall weather as well. We made a special trip to the mall yesterday so I could go in the Yankee candle place and buy a Pumpkin Spice candle just to help get me in the mood. I can't wait!!
