Fall Brings Changes and Beautiful Weather!

Hello all-

Kellan has a job! He started on the 11th of Oct. I am so proud of him! He has worked so hard and deserves this so much! He is the best!! That's the biggest news, which we are so thankful and blessed for God playing a hand in Kellan's job search.

Second thing, Weight Watchers is working and I have lost almost 17 lbs., which is so refreshing to have something that works for me! I am pretty proud of myself.

Fall is here in Kentucky and I adore all the colors and sights that my eyes take in on a daily basis. I am so fortunate to be living here and enjoying God's craftsmanship! He is a true artist!

Finally, excited that we get to visit Indiana next weekend, which will be so nice to see our friends and hang out!

God is good!!

Have a great week!!

Questions and Thoughts of lately...

So, here we are, end of September. The weather is cooling down, which means cheaper electric bills, the leaves are starting to change, beauty, fall smells are in the air. I love this time of year. It is also a time, right now, that my husband and I are trying to make some important decisions in our lives. The first being, do we buy a house now or continue to rent and save money? Buy or rent? Age old question that so many couples and people in general face. We had originally thought about waiting a few years and saving up money, but now there is the thought of buying a place of our own. We continue to pray and seek guidance until we can truly decide that one way or another. Another thought is jobs for Kellan. It has been a struggle for him to find something permanent, in terms of work. He is so qualified and gifted, but unfortunately lacks the experience that people want. So, he may have to settle for less than he is worth until he gains the experience. But, at least he will have work. Another thing, I am finally beginning to loose the weight I put on after our wedding. It is so nice to see the results on the scale. I still have a ways to go, but seeing the numbers drop is very nice! Alright, that is all for now! Love.Peace.Hope.Faith

Week 1 down...

So, I finally gave in and joined Weight Watcher's to try and help with the weight loss. So far, after 1 week, I am down 4.4 lbs.! Which is awesome! It is going well, my only real issue is not eating enough on my work days. But, I will keep at it!

God loves me!

So, alarm didn't go off this morning, I swear, and Kellan and I missed church. This is something we are trying to get in the habit of doing again, since college got us out of the habit, which is a funny thing in and of it self. So, we carried on our day and relaxed, I cleaned, we made dinner. Fortunately, churches don't just offer Sunday morning services, Southland, the church we have been going to, offers a 6:08pm service. So, off we went. Great worship, great message, communion time, it was just great! It is always a nice reminder that God loves me! He loves me, even after years of not making Him a priority in my life and sometimes not even acknowledging His presence. But, He still loves me! I am so blessed to serve and believe in a God that loves me and fills my life with so much blessing and beauty! Thank you for the reminder God! May I serve you this week and not forget to praise you for everything you do for me!

Life Update...

One of these days I am going to be better about blogging and actually keeping up with this. I am still in orientation at work, about a 10 week process. Part of orientation is approximately 30+ hours of computer reading and test taking. It throws me right back into nursing school and there are only 2 chances to take these tests and pass with an 80% or I could have to find another area of the hospital to work in. Yikes, no pressure of anything. The one positive is that I do get paid for them all. But, I wanna be able to relax on my days off and work on scrap booking or working out and loosing weight or going for walks or reading books I want to read! Soon it will be that time! Pray for me that I make it these next few weeks of orientation so that I can stay sane and not require medication working with my preceptor. Then, after these next couple weeks, I will blog more and post pictures of my house, life, etc.

Until then!

Happy Saturday!!

Cha-Cha-Changes

Again, I have not been real productive in the writing department, but a lot has happened! Kellan and I graduated from grad school, we both have our MBA's! Go us! We have also moved to Kentucky. We are living in a house that is about 3 times the size of our first apartment. It's so nice, with about half an acre of yard to mow! I enjoy having more space.

I started working at University of Kentucky Hospital on June 6th, on the Progressive Stroke Unit. I have approximately 13 weeks of orientation, so plenty of time to get acquainted with the unit and taking care of stroke patients. So far I am enjoying it and working for such a large hospital in general is so different. Well, I will try to write more. Ciao!

Life Update

Hi all-
It has been awhile, but life has so busy and hectic! So, let's update!

School finished on Thursday, YAY! So, no more papers or presentations, which is so nice!

Graduation is a week from today, the 7th, which is so crazy to think about, I swear we just started. Ha.

Europe bound May 9th, which is 9 days away! So excited about that, it will be like a second honeymoon with Kellan! We plan on taking a cooking class while we are in Budapest, along with other exciting site-seeing adventures!

I got a job at University of Kentucky Hospital on a Progressive Stroke Unit and start June 6th!! I'm really excited about this opportunity!

Last day at Community is May 4th, only 3 more shifts of that place! I'm ready, not gunna lie!

Weight loss- BIG DUD! I have lost absolutely no weight, possibly even gained it! I feel so defeated. I just haven't enough time, which is a crappy excuse, I know. But Kellan and I are utterly frustrated by it! So, I bought Brazilian Butt Lift and will start that in Kentucky when we get settled in. We both plan to work at it better once we are done with school and move. I really need to loose this weight, I feel gross when I see myself in the mirror, so that needs to change for sure!

So, that is life, exciting changes and things occurring! Still busy,busy, busy! Ready for the next thing...
