Moving on Up...

Sorry for the lack of posts. We had a great vacation and got back in town late Sunday night after a day of traveling and visiting with friends in Canton. Monday we signed the lease on our new apartment. It is so much bigger than the tiny one bedroom we were in. We thankfully hired movers so Tuesday they came and moved us in 4 hours. Now I just have to unpack it all when I am not at work. I would love upload more pictures but I have packed my camera cord somewhere and I have not found it yet. I did get meet some of our neighbors tonight and they seemed very nice. Bob and I are both exhausted from moving and getting back to work this week. I am just ready to get settled in to our new home. I am so tired of seeing boxes everywhere I turn. We don't have our internet hooked up in our new apartment yet so I am not sure when I will get to post again. I will try to post soon with pictures, especially from our Georgia trip. Hope everyone has had a great week.

Sneak Peek...

The wedding was wonderful! Here is a sneak peek more pictures to come later.

We are headed back to NC tomorrow. Please pray for safe travels!

Enjoying Home..

We are in Georgia and loving every moment. We are soaking up every moment we can with our family and friends! Izzy is enjoying everyone too! (that is her with my sister in the picture above) I only hate this trip is so short! Well it is late and we have another jam packed day tomorrow so goodnight y'all!

Headed South...

We are going home to the peach state. Notice I said we. Usually I am the only one able to get off work and go home but for the first time since we have been married and moved to North Carolina, WE are going home. It has been almost 6 months since I have seen my family and 10 months since Bob has seen his. This trip is long overdue. This actually the first time I will make this drive since last time when I got the blood clot, so my nerves have kicked in a bit but there will be lots of stops. This is also Izzy's first road trip ,we are so excited about taking her with us to meet our families, I am excited she will get to socialize with my parent's poodles. This trip is jam packed with things to do including Jamey and Jamie's Wedding Saturday. We are leaving this afternoon when Bob get out of class and coming back Sunday. I am so excited about this trip! Please pray for traveling mercies for us. ALSO check back here for a book review later this week and a giveaway!! Well I have to go finishing up packing and make sure Maggie (our beloved GPS) is in the car.

Drained...

Today was HORRIBLE!!!! I could really use a chocolate bunny now (but we are not eating our feelings around here). I am physically, and emotionally, drained. To put it plainly, I AM EXHAUSTED! I felt like all day I could not keep up, it was miserable! I am so glad I have tomorrow off, but then I will back in the ER Saturday. Ugh, the only thing about being off work tomorrow is that apartment is not packing it self and there is so much more to be done around here before we move! I think that cat picture sums it up! Ok enough blogging my bed is calling me!

National Champs....

Duke won the NCAA National Championship tonight! I was at work but happened to walk into the break room during the last 13 seconds. It was so exciting! It was honestly a pretty good Monday, busy, but not terrible! It is late or should I say early at 2am so needless to say it is bedtime for me!

Hope your Monday's went well!

Happy Easter....

I love EASTER! Today we celebrate the RISEN Lord! I am so thankful for the gift of salvation though I do not deserve it! I have been singing His praises all day! Especially the song Alive Forever by Travis Cottrell.

I love these lyrics:

Let the children sing a song of liberation

The God of our salvation set us free
Death, where is thy sting? The curse of sin is broken
The empty tomb stands open, come and see

He's alive, alive, alive. Hallelujah!
Alive! Praise and glory to the Lamb.
He's alive, alive, alive. Hallelujah!
Alive forever. Amen

Let my heart sing out, for Christ, the One and only
So powerful and holy rescued me
Death won't hurt me now because He has redeemed me
No grave will ever keep me from my King

I'm alive, alive, alive, hallelujah!
Alive! praise and glory to the Lamb.
He's alive, alive, alive. Hallelujah!
Alive forever. Amen

Worthy is the Lamb, worthy of our praise
Worthy is the One who has overcome the grave
Let the people dance, let the people sing
Worthy is the mighty King.

You are worthy. Amen!

I just can't stop smiling, His sacrifice gives hope to those who have no hope! Sin and Death have no victory, Hallalujah!! Today has been wonderful! We spent the morning worshiping at New Covenant Fellowship Church. Worship was followed by a wonderful lunch at our pastor's house with a few other families from church. It was a great time of fellowship. Tonight we are having friends over. It has been such a blessed Easter.

Here are few pictures from today:

Aren't we cute :-)

Me and Miss Izzy- Yes she has a Easter dress

Hope you had a Happy Easter! We did!

Wrightsville Beach...

Hey Y'all! I can not believe my last post was #100! How crazy! Sorry I have been MIA lately. It has been a little crazy with work and classes for us. I am officially off my 16 weeks of orientation at work which means I am on my own completely now. I have my fist official shift Monday. With my new shift I am working come new hours I will now be working from 1pm to 1am. I am excited but won't lie I am nervous too! Remember my last post about how we need a vacation? One thing I miss the most about living in Mobile is being so close to the beach. This past Wednesday I had the opportunity to go to the NC coastline with my sweet friend Jessica. Jessica and I discovered that the beach was only 2 and a half hours away and since we were both off work, and dying to be in the sun, we planned a day trip. It was so nice to get away for the day. We went to Wrightsville Beach, NC. We had fun, relaxed, soaked up some rays and enjoyed the beautiful view.

It was a great day topped off with yummy sushi for dinner. I am so glad we had a chance to get away, we both needed it! Can you believe tomorrow is Easter? I know I can't. Hope you are having a GREAT weekend, I am going to finish watching the Duke game (Go Blue Devils!) then it is bedtime for me!

Night Y'all!

Our Crazy Life..

It has been a little hectic around here, sorry for the lack of posts!

Anybody else in need of a vacation?

Sign us up there are two seats waiting for us in paradise. Now if someone could kindly point me in the direction where the money tree is planted?

ACLS Certified...

These past 2 days I have been in yet another class. This week I was taking a certification class. Every healthcare provider is required to be a BLS certified (aka CPR certified) but if you work in a critical care area you must be certified in ACLS; Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Basically you have to be able to run a code, and it also goes over respiratory emergencies, heart attacks and strokes. To pass the class you must be able to run a code as the team leader. The code scenario is known as megacode. In order to do this you first have to memorize all the algorithms set up by the American Heart Association, that you learn the 1st day. Then you must run this megacode in front of your group talk about nerve racking! After all that you have to pass a written test. Well I am happy to say I rocked my megacode and passed my exam! I am so happy! Next week I have to take the same type class but it is the pediatric version(PALS). Nothing make more nervous as a nurse than when a really sick kid comes to the ED. Kids can deteriorate really fast so I am looking forward to the class next week to be a little more confident handling these types of patients. Today when I came home and my hubby was off for the afternoon(everyboday say yay!) so I went to the RedBox (I am so in love with that thing) and got two movies Old Dogs and Up. Old Dogs was cute, but UP was a wonderful movie. We both laughed, smiled, and of course I cried. I literally have been addicted to the RedBox lately! Last night I watched The Princess and the Frog, which was a good move. (I miss living close to New Orleans!) Overall though I would really recommend Up it was such a great movie even if it is a kids movie! Hope you guys are having a great week so far! If you do not hear from me in the next two days I will be working in the ED, but that is ok because I am so excited to have the whole weekend OFF!!! (Can not BELIEVE IT, no work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!!!!! WOHOO!) Have a great rest of the week and praise God for the little things you are thankful for today!
