Time again to post something...Not sure what. :)

My sister is so diligent about writing on her blog I'm starting to feel guilty for not writing diligently...or even close. My excuse is I don't have as good of stuff to write about since I don't have 5 adorable children

Well, I was off work for a bit with a hurt back but I'm back and it feels good. It's still busy at the "Shrine" which I am grateful for (although I probably shouldn't be, but I need work!!!). I've been learning a lot and really enjoying floating up to the ICU. It is more emotional up there, but I really do enjoy the work up there.

Some of the girls at work and I are starting a book club which could be fun...We'll just have to see. Our first meeting is Feb 6th and I still haven't even bought the book. Better get on that...

Church was really good today. With my work schedule and with being sick lately I've missed alot of church so it was really great to go to all the meetings. The talks and lessons were really good too which was nice. Got called into the bishops office today to talk to all the bishopric....dun dun dun...but it was just to talk. They are looking to reorganize.

Yesterday was Chris's birthday. Unfortunatly he had to work and coach yesterday so he was exhausted and we had no time to really celebrate his birthday. His friends said they were going to do something and then were gone when we went to their house to celebrate. We ended up playing cards at another friends house and watching a movie. I just gave him ballons and a card and a USB connector that he needed. Nothing too exciting but his video camera was for his birthday too...

Well now I'm just at my parents waiting for dinner. Were having a little birthday dinner for Chris. just waiting for dinner to be ready and for Chris to show up. Thats it for now.. will try to do better

baby, It's cold outside!!!

Well, It is officially winter. I'm sitting at my parents house watching the news with all the storm information going on. It is so windy and rainy. Chris's lights are out and garage is flooding. Trees and signs are falling down every where. So, I'm just staying inside and avoiding the crazy roads...

Christmas was very nice. I worked Christmas eve...which was very busy. and then went to Chris's house for Christmas morning. Everyone was still asleep so I had to wake Chris up. It was nice to spend the morning with them though. His mom really liked the scrapbook I made for them for Christmas! Which feels nice.

After we left his parents we stopped by the Grimmsmans and the Hoffmans to wish them a merry christmas. Then we headed over to my parents house...

We decided before hand to exchange presents at my parents so I had already sent my presents that way. It was fun to see Chris open up his video camera and to finally get to play with it. I got a GPS from my parents which I'm really excited about and have already had a lot of fun using.

Other than Christmas life has been fairly routine. I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately and trying to get that figured out, but generally life is pretty good. Chris is still really busy with his job at Claim Jumpers and with coaching. We are both trying to work on getting healthy. Well, that's about it. Still watching the news. Pretty crazy outside. Will try to do better at posting...

It's Christmas season again!!! YEAH!!!

So, yeah...I'm pretty happy that it is that time of year again. I love this time of year! Plus I'm almost done with Christmas shopping and we are already all decorated for the holidays. Now I can just enjoy it!! Of course I have to work so I can afford to enjoy it, but I guess that's ok.

Been a little busy since I've written. Seems like Chris and my schedules just aren't matching up lately which has been a bit of a frustration but we try to see each other as much as we can. His basketball team has been doing fairly well so far so thats good news. I've been able to work a bit more lately too which is good since I really need the money.

My nephew Liam also came to visit this last week. He goes home tomorrow, but it was fun to have him in town. We went to the Kings game together this past week and he really enjoyed it. He was so cute...thanking me for taking him every 30 minutes or so. I had a lot of fun too.

Guess thats about it...I'm at work right now, but not much to report there. Work is work. Till next time

busy doing nothing

Well, I'm back in Cali. I had fun in Utah not sure I was ready to come back to reality but its nice to sleep in my own bed again. Can't say I've done a whole lot since I got back, but I seem to be keeping busy anyways.

This past weekend was one of those weekends where I can't think of anything productive that I did or fun for that matter...but I feel like it was super busy. Friday night I went with Chris to the clinic since he's still not feeling well and then we ended up watching movies at my place. Saturday Chris had basketball tryouts all day and then Stake Conference that night so I never did see him. I wasn't feeling marvelous anyways. On Sunday I had a meeting on top of regular church meetings, had dinner with my folks and then Chris and I went to the YSA fireside.

Now I'm working (or I guess I'm being a bit lazy while i get paid to work). It isn't my fault though...we are slow and my patient is easy. I guess I might as well enjoy it since I'm working the next two nights after tonight. I'm not looking forward to so much work, but the pay check will be nice...

I guess that's about it. I have a lot of work and meetings coming up these next few weeks. I really need to start thinking about Christmas shopping. and I'm hoping to spend at least a few hours with my boyfriend these next few weeks...

Visiting Utah

Well...I'm here in Utah. The baby is adorable!!! I'm really enjoying my time with my sister. I'm really tired though. I always seem to forget how exhausting young children are. Don't know how my sister does it day in and day out!!!

We haven't done too much to report. Mostly been around the house since Lucus can't go out except for doctor appointments for three months. We've gotten out a bit while Jared is home. Me and Christine got out to the mall for a bit yesterday and today I went to church with the three older kids and Jared.

That's about it. Kids are as cute as always. Joelle is growing up and getting so mature. She seems so much older than I was at that age. Liam is so tall and seems to be enjoying kindergarten. He loves the new baby and wants to be around him constantly! Max is such and cutie...stubborn but cute. He comes up and gives me big hugs. He tries so hard to be big like Joelle and Liam, he's getting there. Dane is walking really well now and says a couple things: love you and why(this basically means anything he wants though). He is so sweet. Little Lucus is so tiny, but well loved. He is so fun to hold. Looks alot like the other boys as babies.

Thats about it

Ok, so I am tagging...no one. cause I'm boring :)

been too long...

Well...I've been reminded by a few people that it has been awhile since I've written anything. That would be because not a lot has occured in my life, but I figure it is about time to write any ways.

Well, besides work and church I spend most of my time with Chris. Or at least we try to...Between work schedules, both of us being sick lately (him a lot more than me)and life just being busy it seems we don't have nearly as much time to be together as we'd like. But the time that I am able to be with him is great. Whether that is window shopping, going out to eat, him cooking for me, playing hearts or just relaxing I really enjoy being with him.

My sister had her fifth child a week ago. His name is Lucas, and he is adorable. I can't wait to see him and all the rest of my sisters kids on Thursday when I go back to Utah. It will be fun to spend some time with the kids and my sister and hopefully be some help.

Other news I guess is that I just interviewed for a new position at Sutter Memorial in their NICU. The interview went fairly well, but there are a lot of applicants. I should hear by friday if I got the job. I really hope I do. It would be a great experience.

I guess that's it for now... I'll try to do better at posting
