The holidays are
here! It has been so great to go through these fun times as a married
couple. Geoff and I had an awesome first
Thanksgiving together. It was one I'll never forget! I really just felt SO
grateful for everything around me.
Geoff welcomed the small break from school and was able to relax for a
little before his homestretch to finals.
He is currently in 'go mode'
right now with studying. All day,
everyday... Until December 17th. I
wish I could help him with all of the things he has to learn for school…. Man, he is a trooper! I love him for all of his hard work and
effort. I am working part time (some
weeks, almost full time) as a NURSE! I
love it! It's taken me a little while to get used to the facility that I am at,
but it's a great first job for me as a new graduate. I deal with tons of medications, so I am
getting more good knowledge on that aspect of nursing. Other than my new job, I don't feel like
there is a lot to update on! We are pretty simple folks these days… But as far
as Thanksgiving goes, we spent
Thanksgiving morning and afternoon with my family, then later that evening went
to see Hugo with Geoff's family. We went back to his grandmothers house for pie
and dessert after the movie. I ate way
to much pie, rationalizing that it would be my fuel to power me through the
midnight madness of Black Friday. I was talking it up to Geoff's family, the
whole experience of going to jam packed stores at midnight and four in the
morning---but it turned out I didn't even go--such a hypocrite! I got home to our apartment in SLC and just
couldn't muster the strength to drive all the way back to my mom's house to do
the late night shopping. Luckily, during the day I was able to knock quite a bit off my gift lists. Geoff might not have any surprises seeing that I am horrible at keeping secrets!!! This has got to change for next year. Hope everyone is also having a wonderful holiday season!!
