Hello my lovely readers, and welcome to my new site! I’ve been thinking about getting my own domain name for a while now, but kept putting it off. I wasn’t happy with the fact that the old domain had both our first and last names in it, so I finally went ahead and bought this… Read More Welcome and a Giveaway!
One of the nice things about moving to our current location is that I’m only 20 minutes away from an Ulta. This is my new favorite place for all of my Sebastian hair products and for makeup. Naturally, I was excited when I got a coupon for 20% off the entire purchase! It’s good online… Read More Ulta Coupon
I am completely wide awake right now. Rather than continuing to toss and turn, I decided to get up and write about the happy news that I got today. First off, no, I’m not pregnant 🙂 I am, however, employed! I was jogging on the treadmill this morning when my cell started to ring. Normally… Read More Happy News
I’ve been back in Indiana for a little under a month now. I’m so glad to be near family and I’m happy that Chris loves what he’s doing. As is to be expected, I’ve definitely noticed some differences between here and Massachusetts. When we first moved to Massachusetts a little over a year ago, I… Read More Indiana vs. Massachusetts
I’ve been preparing and shopping from a weekly menu for the last several months now. This is a fairly recent development in my life. At first I was skeptical, but I kept reading other bloggers’ menus and thought, “What the heck – I’ll give it a try”. It’s turned out to be a great thing… Read More Low-Fat, Low-Cal: 3 Amazing Recipes
Happy 30th birthday to my big brother, D! Obviously, this picture was taken a few years ago! This is him and me when we were little and still liked to play together 🙂 He and his wife, B, live fairly close to us now that we’ve moved. I’m looking forward to seeing more of both… Read More Happy 30th Birthday!
Good morning, everyone 🙂 It is absolutely pouring here! This Saturday, Chris and I got up early and went to the South Bend Farmer’s Market. It was so great! After a little confusion as to how to get there (thanks in part to Google Maps and yours truly), we found it, parked, and headed inside.… Read More Farmer’s Market and a Movie
I did what I said I would do today – I called the nurse recruiters at both area hospitals. One was out of the office, so I left a voicemail, and the other just directed me to their website. I went ahead and applied for 4 jobs. We’ll see what happens! Also, I told Chris… Read More Freshening Up
Isn’t Hobby Lobby the best? I went there this afternoon to get some of our paintings framed – two of them were from a street vendor in Paris and were purchased during last year’s trip, and another is a painting that Chris bought when he went to Russia several years ago. In less than 20… Read More Thank You Hobby Lobby 🙂
Chicago was fun, the exam was boring, and I’m very glad to be back home. Really, though – Chicago was great. I love that city. It’s not as crazy as NYC or Boston or Atlanta, and just feels so much more approachable to me. I wouldn’t at all mind living there some day. The test… Read More Chicago + Corn + Flowers + Bikes = Fun!
I know that I said that I would be offline till Monday, but I had to share a funny story from my last Chicago trip. It’s worth it! Oh, and by the way – thanks to my old HS friend Mrs. H for the Chicago driving head’s up. We will definitely re-plan our drive based… Read More A Funny Chicago Story
Yeah, that’s right. Tomorrow mid-morning Chris and I are headed to Chicago. Can you tell that I’m just soooo enthused about this? I have to go to Chicago to take an English test. Don’t even get me started on it. In New Zealand, foreign RNs are required to pass an English test as of this… Read More From Indiana to Chicago
Hello my lovely readers 🙂 I’ve missed you! I was shocked when I finally got onto Google Reader and saw that I had 500 posts to read. Gulp. Talk about intimidating! I’ve made it through 104 of them already today, and I haven’t decided yet whether that’s productive or pathetic, but I’m leaning towards pathetic.… Read More From Massachusetts to Indiana
Today is my mom’s birthday. I won’t tell you how old she is, because I don’t think that she would appreciate my sharing that information on the internet 🙂 I’m very grateful for her, and I shudder to think at how our move would have gone if she and my little sister hadn’t be there… Read More Happy Birthday, Mom!
Just a quick post to let you know that we made it, safe and sound! It was a long drive – much longer than Google Maps or AAA TripTik said it would be, and we didn’t stop all that often. Want to know how long it took? Seventeen hours. Yup, it took us 17 hours… Read More We’re Here!
