memorial day

 

Thank you to all of the brave men who have served and for those now serving. Here's to my brothers Matt and Daniel who are in the reserves. (sorry Matt, No picture of you in your uniform). Also, Here's to My wonderful father in law who was in the National Guard. Jonathan's cousins (Brad and Ken) are in the National Guard as well. Thank you and love you all!

Sand Dunes



We decided to go on a last minute over nighter to the sand dunes with Jonathan's brothers and cousin Brad on Friday. It rained as we were setting up tents. It was so cold during the night and in the early morning and we couldn't get a fire started! We even tried gasoline! Jonathan would like me to add that it is because the wood was wet that they could not get the fire started. There was rain in the weather forecast but it ended up being very warm all day Saturday. We all received some pretty bad sun burns. It turned out to be a fun time with no serious injuries

hasty heart

We went to Hale Centre theatre last night with my old Roomie Michelle with some free tickets we had. The play was called "A Hasty Heart". It was so good and I recommend it to you all. Plus it had a nurse in it.
Speaking of nurse... I called DOPL today to figure out why I haven't received my authorization to test yet. Turns out they "misfiled" my transcript and therefore never sent it in. Its been sitting there for weeks. I will continue to wait and so will our income :)
Jonathan buzzed his head.

graduation!!!

Monopoly and modge podge

We went for a bike/longboard ride the other night for our date night and then we stayed up till about 2:00am playing monopoly. Jonathan went bankrupt. I however, had $6,433 left. If only that was real... I think I will let him win next time though so I don't have to be in charge of finances :)
No word yet from any of the places to which I have applied or interviewed. I have so much time on my hands. I m learning how to cook new things, including artichokes. Oceanmist.com actually has a step by step movie on how to cook them. Technology is a wonderful thing. I have learned all about artichokes actually! I have learned that they are chuck full of antioxidants and fiber. They also have vitamin C, potassium, iron, and magnesium. Do you see what my days have amounted to? I am googling exotic vegetables! I also have a bottle of modge podge. I am finding things around the house to modge podge. Jonathan is going to come home to a modge podged house if I don't get a job soon.
Hope all is well with everyone!

job well done.

It worked. I started this blog an hour ago and already we have two followers. Faithful Haley and Mo. I don't know who you are Mo but that was fast.

Est 2011

Jonathan and I decided to start a blog for our family. We certainly are not a "bunch" yet but I like to plan ahead :) I don't know the first thing about blogging in fact it took me a few hours to set this up.... so many choices in colors and names. In fact, I'll be somewhat upset if it doesn't work. I don't see any buttons that say "save". Anyway, its a good way to keep up with us.
Right now Jonathan is working on the turkey farm. He goes down for a few days every week. Since I am currently unemployed I went down and helped too. I augered feed. I won't explain what that is, I will just allow you all to think I am cool. I am still on the job hunt. I landed a couple of interviews. One was at a plasma center. It would be a great job if it wasn't so far away. Its up by the University of Utah. The other interview was as a head nurse kind of thing at a small assisted living center in Lehi. It would be a great job but I'll be honest... I don't really want to be in management again. A job is a job and I'll take it if its offered but part of me hopes its not offered to me. The guy who interviewed before me looked like a stalwart young man who would do a great job. Also, the owners were so nice and I would hate for them to hire me and train me and then lose me if I found an RN job elsewhere (not in management). I would almost feel guilty taking the job. Other than that I have been spending my days applying for jobs, cleaning the house, figuring out this blog thing, and riding my bike. I am trying to remember what my hobbies were before I went to school.
Jonathan is also trying to put his business management knowledge to the test by starting an online business. He has some really good ideas and I think it will really go far if we can get it going. If anyone knows how to start a website let us know.
