Update




So, my life has taken an unexpected turn in the last week. I was all set for taking a semester off, working full time and being...well, extra domestic. I was excited and had accepted the fact that school was going to be at least 6 months away. Then, out of the blue, I got an email from my department telling me that I would be able to take the class that I need THIS semester. That means that both Jason and I are in full blown school this semester and you would think that this would be stressful (I did) but we love it. Granted, this is only the first week but I have a feeling that we will continue to enjoy ourselves.

I am so thankful for this opportunity! God is good. Confusing at times, but good :-) We had our first clinical rotation this week and I am already learning a ton. I should be a 100% REAL nursie this May so watch out should you be hospitalized for some reason :-) The only draw back is that the clinical is in Caldwell and starts at 6:00 in the morning. That's about an hour drive from my house for those of you who don't live in the Boise area. Um...yea.

For your enjoyment I posted some pics of Arnie and Penelope, our bunnies that were a b-day gift from Jason. Aren't they cute?! They are even cuter in real life.

It's just been awhile






Hello people,

While talkng to my lovely sister-in-law today, she suggested that I start a blog. She has an absolutely precious blog where she displays adorable pics of her new house and latest artistic accomplishments. Then I realized that I didn't have to start a blog because I already have a blog. It's just been awhile.


So, therefore, I ask your forgiveness. Thank you (I assume you just said "I forgive you").


As promised here are some pics of our honeymoon and wedding. They are precious and looking at them brings back priceless memories. I can't thank my mom enough for putting so much hard work and long hours into my special day.
Ok, the honeymoon ones aren't working. Argh! I will do those ones later when I can figure out what is going on :-)

New day!

So, this whole blog thing is brand new to me. New as in, I've never actually had a blog, not in that I've never heard of them. A guy in my class the other day admitted to never hearing about blogs. Wow, that's all I have to say.

This blog is mostly about me and my new life with my husband Jason. The intention behind it is to give its readers (family, friends, ect.) a more frequent update on our new lives as a married couple. You know how it goes when people first get married, they sort of disappear for awhile and it's like, no one knows where they went or what has happened to them. So, this is my effort to prevent all of the usual not-knowingness of recently married Monica and Jason.

I just have to say that being married is far better than I could have ever dreamed. I have a wonderful husband who loves me very much and every day is like an adventure. I love discovering new things about married life like how in the world do I make time to do A, B and C. It's a challenge, maybe that's why I like it. I also love finding new recipes to make for my hubby. As we all know, the boy consumes like 10,ooo calories per day, this has made my life interesting :-) Again, another challenge. How do I feed the human garbage disposal?

We are really enjoying our cute little North End apartment. It is nestled back into the foothills away from noise and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. Seriously, there are crickets and a terraced water fountain right outside our door! It's very relaxing. We were just given a little BBQ by the Mom and Dad W. It's just the perfects size, so we have been enjoying sitting out on our balcony and grilling hot dogs. Thanks guys!

Well, I think that's about it. I will post some pics of our honey moon for those of you who have not seen any yet. Wedding pics are soon to come as soon as we get our stuff back from the photographer.

Love...
