Happy 2009!

Our new year is off to a great start!  I figured this would be a great time to start a blog and try and keep track of it all.  The business is off to a great start and we are very busy right now booking weddings.  Luckily we have a few months before they start to maybe relax a little and make sure all our ducks are in a row.  Kelly likes being busy for the most part, even though some things get overlooked around the house in the meantime.

I am coming up on a year at Sanford as an RN on the surgical unit.  I really love my job and I learn something everyday.  This week I started a new position there.  I am a 'crosstrainer' meaning I share 2 full time jobs with another nurse- one on the surgical unit and one in the ER.  I am really excited at the prospect of the ER- I have plenty to learn, but I know I will be a muh better nurse for it.  I will spent alternating months on each unit.  I was told today that it takes 2-3 years to feel competent and comfortable as an ER nurse, so twice as long for me- here's hoping I learn quickly!

After over 2 years, Kelly's brother is finally moving out on Saturday- I can't wait to have our house back to ourselves!  I will have some work ahead of me getting his rooms cleaned up and turned into guest areas again, but I am excited at the prospect.  We will be tiling the kitchen soon and I plan to paint some rooms, the guest room, our bedroom, and maybe the future nursery, although maybe that would be testing fate.

It is sooo cold right now- it makes me feel very lazy.  Lately all I want to do is curl up in bed with a good book and sleep a lot.  I can't wait for warmer weather.
