I have to start this Blog out by saying I'm sorry. I thought the life of blogging was a wonderful interesting endeavor that would make life more fun and bring us closer to friends and family. Also I thought it would be relatively easy. Now I've realized its not as magical to come up with things to discuss and post. And most importantly it takes all of my internet and time to upload only a few photos. I really wish the photo uploader worked better. Mike is currently telling me that our picture quality of our pictures might be too high, so maybe that is the problem? Well maybe I will look into that later. Currently my internet is a little busy because of downloading. Its difficult to do a blog when you don't have a subject or a theme to write about all the time. And I'm not so sure that things are "blog-worthy" or that anyone is interested. My motivation for the blog has dwindled. A couple of blogs I like reading are ones where they live in an RV and travel and make posts about their travels. Another one is documenting the day-by-day of someone battling cancer. These are interesting and follow a theme. Just not sure what my motivation is for this one.
So here is our update and maybe I'll do more detailed posts later with pictures :) An update reminds me of when I talk to my dad, every couple of weeks, and his first question is "Hows Mike?" And I say "He's fine, Dad.", while chuckling to myself. Well Mike is doing pretty good. He is doing great at work, even received Airman of the Year for 2010 in his squadron. Currently his skateboard has "truck" issues and doesn't ride very fluently. I'm trying to talk him into getting them fixed or buying new ones, but we both have the mindset of waiting until you absolutely, positively need something before you spend money on it. We have really been getting into biking lately. We love discovering the bike trails around Layton that are offered (for free btw). It is also typical of us to bike around town for errands, because its cheaper and more healthy to ride your bicycle than drive a truck everywhere.
I have gotten into working out a lot more, at least 5-6 days a week with the other day hiking or doing something else. I feel great when I run, and running outside is way better than a treadmill. I could never go the distance on a treadmill that I do outside. Staring at those numbers the whole time just feels like it takes forever. Outside my longest distance has been 6 miles. I could never do that on a treadmill.
So one of my previous posts was about the hundreds of applications I have turned in for hospitals and always getting rejected. Well I was just applying to more places, not expecting to get anything more than a rejection email, when all of a sudden they all called me for interviews. I guess my 4 months as an RN supervisor on graveyard shifts has finally paid off as a boost for my resume. I have been offered a job that I have accepted at Pioneer Valley Hospital Psych unit. I have not started yet but I am getting all the paperwork and orientations out of the way. Its going to be my "foot in the door" of a hospital. It might not be the unit I want to work in forever but it definitely will show up as hospital experience for future opportunities.
Okay well this is my attempt to get back into blogging...we will see how it goes.
