Happy Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Hope all is well. Everything is going good here. We stayed in Knoxville since Chris had a ton of studying and practicing to do for upcoming exams and board. It actually worked out to both of our benefit. My immune system has been inundated by the kiddy krud; yeh, I've been told by colleagues that the first year of working in pediatrics = feeling the funk. It was nice to sleep in for the past 3 mornings. We were able to do some of our normal weekend traditions like making pancakes, Target runs, and cruising the area with no where to be.

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with 2 cellists from Texas and 2 violinist from Brazil. We cooked up our very first 17 lb turkey, macaroni & cheese, pineapple cassserole, greenbean casserole, creamed sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and croissants. After dinner we wasted 2.5 hours of life by seeing the movie 2012 (I was out-voted by 4 guys... I guess I'll see Blindside on DVD). The graphics were amazing but the scenario was pretty far fetched!

Today, Chris and I picked out a beauty of a Christmas tree at Home Depot. I'll try and remember to post some pics later. The month of December will be rather busy. All in all Chris and I are happy to be together. It's great living with your best friend on a full-time basis :-)

On My Way!

Happy Friday to you all! It's the big day, my final day working at my job here in Columbia. I am driving up to Atlanta for a continuing ed compliments of my new job. I'll be getting my Physical Agents & Modality Certification. I was initially bummed because I felt like the process of my moving to Knoxville has been so drawn out, but I'm so thankful I'm not having to spend $600+ for this course.

All is well! Chris is really enjoying being in school again. He is doing SO well. I am incredibly proud of him if you haven't noticed. I have a full-time job secured (I'll start Monday) and a PRN job partially-secured, both in which I am thrilled over.

The holidays are on the verge. We're going to stay in Knoxville for Thanksgiving due to Chris' hectic study & practice schedule. I-40 is closed due to a rockslide and it looks like it will take several months to clean up. Thankfully this happened towards the end of our separation and I only had to do the detour once. We'll be heading home for Christmas and are really hoping to go snowboarding this winter. Chris has been itching to get on the slopes for the first time since we've been married!

That's it in a nutshell. We'll post sooner than later what with me actually living in our home!
