Update on Us!!!


Ok, so this summer is flying by!! We've been so busy doing so many fun things that I haven't even had time to blog. Quickly, I will just re-cap on what's been going on with us............ So after I graduated nursing school I had to take my state boards to get my Nursing License and after a very stressfull 24 hrs of awaiting my results - I passed! Then it was on to finding a new job! The job I had before as an LPN at Banner Baywood I was not going to be able to do as an RN, so I started applying everywhere! It only took a couple weeks and I got a job at my dream Hospital at Banner Good Sammaritan in downtown Phoenix!! I started a few weeks ago, so all is going great for me! As far as the kids go, they have been enjoying some much needed and deserved time with mommy! We go swimming in our pool or the water park almost everyday I'm not working. We have had a slumber party with their cousins, we went to Vegas and met my sister, her kids and my parents there and had a great time at Circus Circus. We brought my sisters kids back with us and they spent 2 1/2 weeks with us and my parents. They really enjoyed their time with their cousins. Then we went to Eagar for the 4th of July and participated in the Archery shoot at Sunrise Ski Resort and we had a blast! So the kids are as happy as can be this summer. John has also been having a great summer! His dad sold the company he's working for but he still works there and it's going really good. He found out last week he was one of only a few people in the state to get drawn on a guided buffalo hunt, he left 2 days later and killed his first buffalo! He is turning in to quite the hunter, he killed a moose in New Founland in October and then we both got drawn for Elk this September. He is super excited!!

Here are some pictures of what has been going on with us lately!
