Oh little brothers....

My little brother, Shane, came up for a visit to see Chris and I recently. It was great to see him and to have him see everything up here. He came in on the 4th of July in the afternoon and we drove up to the house and waited for Chris to get home from work. Right when we got home Shane put his stuff down, played with our cat, and sat on the couch to fall asleep. I just laughed because we hadn't even been home an hour and he was out! He slept for a few hours and we let him because we figured he was just tired from traveling buttttttt later we found out that he had stayed up the night before till like 2am and had to get up at 6am. GEEZE! We woke him up to eat BBQ with us and watch fireworks and chat then back to sleep he went.
The next morning we woke him up to go the gym and Shane and Chris played racketball while I worked out. We then grabbed some lunch and headed out to go fish! We went to a pond that the camp owns and picniced then fished! Shane was the only one who caught a fish. We had plenty of nibbles though! We were glad that it was Shane catching the fish because he was getting really inpatient with not catching anything. We were 30 minutes in and he said, "I'm ready to go, I havent caught anything!" We were barely there! Sillly boy :)
We relaxed, played the wii, did some shopping, and watch movies. It was a good time! Sad to see him go but glad to see his trail of stuff around the house go. Oh little brothers....

Work Work Work

I have finally got my feet wet at work. After 2 long weeks of orientation, I started working on the floor. I have a GREAT mentor who is helping me get a routine down. The medical/telemetry floor I am on is super busy which is nice in a way because the morning flies by and then it's lunch and then so many things happen in the afternoon with doctors coming by or physical therapy working with the patients. The patients are interesting, some sweet and some not. There was a patient whose room I was walking by and he yelled out of his room and said "Get your FAT butt in here and let me go home!" I giggled for a second and then let him know that it was inappropriate and why he needed to stay. Later I found out that he was very very confused and grumpy. He has pulled his IV out and started walking out of the floor and so on. I LOVE my job though. Yes it is early mornings and late nights but its all good when you know that you enjoy what you are doing and make a difference in peoples' lives.
Chris and I am getting use to my new schedule though. I leave before he offically wakes up and comes home after dinner. It's not easy waking up so early but I am gettin use to it and before I know it, I will be working nights, which will be a different change. The extra pay will be nice with working nice so thats what I am looking forward to but not looking forward to not sleeping at the same time as my husband. Once I get going on nights and feel comfortable being on my own, I hope to find a place on days again.
Our life as a married couple is going great!!! I love being with him all the time, our walk/runs, our conversations, our jokes, out times at many rodeos, our shopping trips, and much more. I married such an amazing man and feel so lucky!

Here's to great adventures with the one you LOVE!!!
