Well today was my first day back at school after being stuck in the house for a week with H1N1! Let me warn all of you, if you get it, be prepared to do nothing, and fall behind in everything because all you want to do is lay around and sleep, but oh wait, your body hurts so darn much you can't sleep. Vicious cycle!
Anyways...so after a week of missing classes I am now trying to play catch up, which doesn't work well in Organic and Biochemistry or Algebra for that matter. I am so far in over my head, not sure what I am going to do! Also trying to prepare for the National Registry Paramedic Boards in Des Moines Iowa on November 7th!
Hopefully the weather will be good througth the 8th so that I can make it back and forth to Des Moines safely to take my boards...after that it can start snowing all that it wants to. Oh wait...it already did that. Today we had sleet, ice, freezing rain, snow...terrible road conditions. Many accidents along the interstates, keeping the ambulance crews a hoppin! Gotta love the winter time...everyone forgets how to drive!!!!! As our teachers always taught us...Keep it simple Stupid...or for this matter Keep it Slow Stupid!
Well not much else to report, Hans and I have not seen much of each other over the past couple of weeks because I have been so sick, his long work hours, and that we work the exact opposite schedules. Oh well, at least we have food and a roof over our heads, we can't complain!
Will write more later!

Back to Blogging
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!
