Our modeling career has begun...

The gorgeous place we had our wedding at has asked us permission to use 2 of our pictures for the website and different advertising venues (magazines, online etc). So of course we said yes. Oh and the best part is that we are getting compensated 1 dollar. haha. I love all that legal technicality stuff.

Being Married...

We had so much fun on our 2 week honeymoon back in May! Sometimes I just reminisce because it was so much fun. I think its one of the only times where you truly feel like you don't have to be connected to the world, no homework, no stress, and money isn't a big deal since we had gotten some for our wedding! I love going on vacations and am looking forward to more in the future. Hopefully we will go snow skiing to Utah after Christmas. I love the romantic winter snow:)

Friends

We love our friends and wish we could spend more time with them. Many of them are getting married coming up. Kara and David in January, Caitlin's 1 year anniversary in February, Sara and Matts in May, Melanie and Joe's in May, Paige and Todd's in July?, and Michael and Megan in June (I think). Anyhow, we love being married and love spending time with people who are in the same stage of life. I wish I was better at taking pictures of fun times with our friends...but here are just a few from the last few months.

Nursing School

Well, the semester has been grueling, long, and hard... but it is finally coming to an end! I have learned a lot in my clinical this semester. We were in the ICU first for 7 weeks at USC University Hospital and it was definitely challenging but I learned a lot. Next we were placed with a preceptor at the same hospital and we were to schedule seven 12 hour shifts with them. Let me tell you, if you have never done a 12 hr it is something else. I am still amazed that I have done 5 of them already! I am in a pre-op and post-op unit and my favorite part is getting to start IVs on every patient who comes in!
I still don't know exactly where Im going to work or in what unit. Sometimes it frustrates me that I dont have it all decided and picked out...but I guess not having one unit that I want to work in makes me flexible. We will see....
On Thursday all of the students in my class were split into groups of 5 and we had to do a big presentation on a topic. We invited friends and family and made a night of it. I was so glad to have it over with as I don't love preparing speeches...but it went well and its nice to have it behind us!
This picture is of my clinical group from this semester. The lady in purple on the left is my professor:) We went to a really fun restaurant to celebrate being finished with the ICU portion of the semester.

Colorado!

Adam and I recently went to Colorado for a long weekend in November! We have always thought a move to somewhere like Colorado would be fun..but thought that we should at least visit it first! Even in the ugliest time of the year we found it beautiful and somewhat peaceful (but that could be because we were on vacation). We had fun staying with Kara's brother and his wife Kelly and just overall enjoyed exploring the area! We missed the snow..it snowed the day after we left..but we hope to go back and sometime might even call it our home! The adventure begins...
