Well, I am going to try this once again! Blogging, I find is a good stress reliever, and a way to let everyone know whats going on, since we all live so far apart and these days don't have much time to travel and or relax.
Our lives have been filled with lots of excitement and craziness the past several months, starting June 27th, the day we were married and became one! It was a great day, I have absolutely no complaints, and am so glad that Hans and I are married and best of all have each other!
Hans was able to take 2 weeks off from work, so the week after the wedding, we spent tearing apart our house and started making it a home! First room we tore apart was the master bedroom. We put up fresh paint, cleaned carpets, and strengthened one wall that needed to be reinforced. We also ripped off all the trim, and are waiting on the contractor to come and install new trim around the windows as well as new base boards. Hans is really into construction and doing things the way he wants them done, so he is still, 19 months later still working on our master closet, but slowly it is coming along and will look great when it is all done.
Most recently, Hans mom made curtains for the entire house, which look fabulous and are doing a great job keeping the heat in, and thus reducing our monthly heating bill!!!! His mom LOVES to sew, and she is always looking for projects. I will post pictures later of all the curtains!
I (Liz) graduated with my Intensive Care Paramedic degree in mid-August, and am busy studying for boards which take place in Des Moines on November 7th which I am trying to prepare myself for! I have a few friends helping me out, as well as some co-workers which is great!
Then came the influenza. Yes, you read it correctly, I was unfortunate enough to catch the H1N1 from as far as I can tell the little boy that I take care of after school during the week. It was bound to happen, however missing Chemistry for a week is not exactly great. I have never wanted to go to school as much as I did this week for the pure fact that I am now severly behind in Chemistry but as I always do...I will manage and I will pass, and make it through.
On the upside, I got a job with Gold Cross Ambulance which is affiliated and run by Mayo Hospital! HOORAY for my income finally! It feels so good to finally have a job, and be able to contribute to our income!
So, from here on out, hopefully I can this site up to date!
Take Care!
