What's Been Going On

So it's been about a week and a half since my last post, here's what's been up in our lives...

Andy is still continuing to enjoy his clinical experience. The hospital is going through some changes, so all of the wound care he was supposed to be doing isn't really happening, but I think he's okay with that. Some days can be slow for him, but he is being added more responsibilities everyday.

I went to the substitute orientation meeting last week and we both decided it probably wouldn't be a good investment for me. I would have to get a phone with a local area code and I would have to get ANOTHER stupid background check (states really need to get together with their checks, because it's a ton of money to be flying about). Also I asked how busy it is for subs now and it doesn't really get busy until the end of February. So I have decided to fill my days with reading, crafts, and preparing for the job hiring season. And it's only 6 more weeks now.

Yeah so I have decided to fulfill my desire to be artsy so I've been making things and teaching myself how to do different things... I will show my creations on a later date, as some of my crafts have not gotten to the people that should be receiving them. Any way so I've been sewing, and cutting, and crocheting, knitting, and just creating. It's pretty fun and rewarding.

I have new hair. As does Andy. We both got our hair cuts and I got a new color and I'm really enjoying it again. (I had it this color my freshman year of collage and my junior year of H.S.)

This past weekend we had a great time watching the football games and we had GAME OLYMPICS! We decided to play the 5 games we have and have a little competition. I'm happy to announce that I CRUSHED Andy. Thank you! I am now a gold medalist!

We also began our training for our half marathon in April- well Andy's just been lifting because of his knee... We are also going to start doing some outside winter sports to fulfill our experience in Idaho. This Thursday we are going skiing and this weekend we're going cross country skiing and visiting some hot springs, which should be neat.

It has been nice now that Andy has a more regular schedule and doesn't need to study all the time. We are able to eat dinner together and just spend a lot of time together. It really has been great to have him home more. One of our dinners we cooked MOOSE burgers! The guy whose house we're living in gave us some moose meat. They were really good, a lot better than hamburgers.

The weather here has been quite interesting. It was cold the past two weeks and have had consistent snow on the ground, but this weekend it got into the forties and so all the snow is gone and it feels like spring. Today when I went out I didn't even wear a jacket. But I'm not complaining.

Here's a picture for Mama Schu- he still loves his bed!
