Hello! I believe it's time for another catch up. Some of my excuses for not blogging include Texas, a wedding, graduating and moving to a new state. So those are all perfectly good reasons :)
On March 12th my best friend, Alyssa, from high school got married to her high school sweet heart! It was the perfect excuse to fly to Texas for 5 days to finish wedding plans, catch up with friends and eat mexican food. Alyssa's bouquet was AMAZING and the wedding party made their own! It actually felt intimidating but turned out fun making mine. I just don't think I could professionally do that haha.
Since September 2015 we have taken a trip almost monthly to St. George. The photos below were taken early February after we felt prompted to officially move to St. George and we were there looking for a home! If you've been to St. George you most likely can guess exactly where we are standing :) Not pictured is Easter weekend when we took a trip to St. George. The first full day there Eric felt so sick he requested to be taken to the Doctor and after a nasal swab we found out he had type B influenza. I'm so happy we caught it quickly and he started taking his medications so that he was better for our move the following week. But during that weekend I had a job interview and was offered it! I accepted and so far have been LOVING it.
At the time of our decision to move I was in an online program to get my Bachelors degree in Nursing. I was working as a RN up to 60 hours a week with the demand of about 25 hours a week of school papers and projects. With the decision to move during this time saying I was stressed is an understatement. I was drowning. I'm so grateful that we were in a good place that allowed me to quit my job the first of March and focus on completing my online assignments as fast as possible and pack up our belongings. We had our official move on April 1st! Minus the stress leading up to it, the drive went smoothly and great. My feelings of leaving Rexburg were strange because I've spent the past 5 years there growing and changing as a person. Living in Rexburg for college gave me my best friends, my engagement to Eric and our first 2 years of marriage together there!
April 8th was graduation day and I officially have my BSN degree! Instead of walking across a stage, since I did that when I got my ASN degree, I treated myself to some ice cream. THIS is why I suddenly have free time. Only working three days of the week opens up a lot of possibilities of what I can do on my days off. Also, here's a little throwback to graduating with my ASN degree! :)
WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 2 YEARS. WHAT?! We pampered our selfs as a way to say thank you to each other for putting up with one another. Haha just kidding :) Being married to Eric is the absolute greatest. He completes me and is my best friend. We had a very laid back day. After sleeping in, we enjoyed an incredible couples massage and pedicures at a day spa. If you want a good laugh watch Eric get his feet tickled during a pedicure. We then ate dinner at the Cliffside and enjoyed this gorgeous view from our table.
The most exciting change happening... Our future home! We have found and decided on a place to live here in the St. George area!! We are so in love with it. Obviously, it's being built! I'd say these next two months are my biggest test of patience. More updates and pictures on that to come!
