Thankful Thursday!

In continuing on with my "themes," I decided that today would be my "Thankful" day. Of course I am thankful for many things in my life, but I am thankful that I met a wonderful man that's my husband. He is an amazing person inside and out. He's my best friend! He works so hard at everything that he does so he can provide a great future for himself and me as well and one day (a LONG one day away) a family. He studies late at night and sometimes into the early hours of the morning and goes to school all day just like a person with a full time job would do. Then he comes home and spends time with me eating dinner or helping me cook dinner and doing the dishes and gets right back to studying. Sometimes he thinks he's neglecting me by being away so much, but I understand. I never wanted him to feel that way because I am perfectly fine with some alone time (aren't we all). He had his first Therapeutic Patient Interview yesterday and he was really nervous, so we spent some time before he went to the interview going over what he would ask the patient and what to say and not to say. This class is a Pass/Fail. So you either pass interviewing your patients (he will have a different patient every week) or you fail. He came home from his interview and said he knows that he passed.

So, today, I am thankful for my husband and everything he does not just for me but, himself and others!

Before going to his Therapeutic Patient Interview. Of course I had to take a picture of him wearing that White Coat for the first time since he got the coat!

Wordless Wednesday

Themes!

I decided that it would be nice that if I really did blog everyday or a couple times a week that I would have some "themes" with my blog (You know like "Wordless Wednesday, Thankful Thursday and Fun Friday"). I've seen it on other people's blogs and wanted to start it as well to keep me into blogging. I started off really good at it and have slacked off a little bit. So, here goes, lets see how creative I can be.

6 Months Today!!!

Six months ago, I married my best friend! I know most people think it's crazy to celebrate a little anniversary like this but we were super excited to be able to celebrate this day! I never thought the day for us to get married or heck, be engaged would ever get here! We dated for a little more than 4 years before we got engaged, and were together 6 years before we got married. Paul and I would talk about marriage here and there but I never wanted to bring up the subject unless he did. We both agreed that when we did get married we had to be done with our Undergraduate Degrees first. So, we were done with our Undergrad in May and got married in August! I just wanted to take a moment on the blog to do a shout out to Paul! He does read the blog believe it or not!

I love you! Happy 6 months anniversary!!!

Snow Fun

Over the weekend, we had a little visit from "Old Man Winter!" Paul and I had our first snow in Norfolk. So, Friday night after I picked the guys up from school, we went to our usual hang out, Red Dog Saloon. The guys like to go there and unwind on Friday's after school and I pick them up on Friday's, so I get to go with them. After Red Dog, we came home and relaxed for a little while and went to dinner with Kenny and Jenny. Then, we came home and prepared for the snow!We prepared for the snow by going to Harris Teeter just to get the essentials, you know milk and eggs. All night Friday night I kept waking up to see if it was snowing (because I was so excited), but since we live in a high-rise building it was hard to tell and the street lights are at our level so I couldn't look in the light to see if anything was coming down. When we woke up Saturday morning there was snow all over the place and it was still coming down. Of course Paul and I had to get dressed in our warmest clothes and go for a walk.

We walked to Starbucks for breakfast (which is only 2 blocks from here) and then we walked back to Harris Teeter (which is 2 blocks over from our apartment and then about 4 blocks on another street) and then back to the apartment. We had a nice walk and we stayed warm. We went back to Harris Teeter so we could get stuff to make a big pot of chili. So when we came back I started on the chili and Paul met Kenny and his 2 sons in the park across from the apartment so they could play in the snow. After they played, they came over and Paul and I introduced them to a 'southern treat' SNOWCREAM! They had never heard of it so of course I made it and they seemed to enjoy it, now they have something southern to take with them back to Utah when they go home!

This is the park across from us, Paul took this picture on the top level of our apartment.

This is K and B taking time out from playing in the snow for a picure!!

The weatherman is calling for more snow up here this weekend, but I have to make it home to pick some stuff up. So, I'm leaving Wednesday morning to get what I need and attempt to make it back before the weather gets bad again!

Until next time...
