Update

What has happened since MARCH 2010:

  • A new NEPHEW: Rex joined us April 28, 2010. Tawnya has 3 boys :) Love them
  • Cancun in MAY. We took our two nephews and met up with my parents and brother. Awesome as always! Beach, Beach and more BEACH :)
  • Went to PHOENIX in JUNE. A much needed celebration 1 yr out of nursing school with JULIE. Loved Phoenix, loved food, love the Marriot, loved girl talk and nurse talk.
  • Curt went on the bro's hike in JULY in IDAHO. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado have been crossed off their list. (They hike the highest peak in each state all of his brothers )
  • AUGUST brought my birthday.....a new car:) Our back packing trip to my dads favorite place on earth, RED CASTLE. Total back packing trip 27 miles hauling a pack of 38 lbs. It was awesome. Curts birthday!
  • I have been dying to do a race.....a triathalon. It was on my "bucket" list. So me and my sis-in-law agreed to train and work our butts off to acheive our goal. We set a goal.....under two hours. We also talked Curt into doing it with us. Curt finished in 1:35 and we finished in 1:48 under our goal. We were so nervous about our swim and we both superseeded our goal for our swim :) We are definitely doing more. SEPTEMBER the KOKOPELLI TRIATHALON. YAHOO. We had the best cheering section, thanks family and friends.
  • Another item on Curt and I's "bucket" list.....ITALY. OCTOBER will be our ultimate trip to ITALY. Visiting family, site seeing and an Eastern Mediterranian Cruise. Pictures will come, I promise.

Heather, Me, My Uncle Dan, My cousin Kandyce, Curt
We all did the triathalon.

Update on work: I am LOVING my job. It is rewarding, hard, happy, sad, heartbreaking and fun all in the same sentence. I am still in the ICU. The people I work with are AWESOME ( Vegas style :) It has become a "job" and is feeling really good when I am there but I am able to leave it there when I leave.

Life is good here. One day at a time and enjoying every second of it with Curt.
XOXOXO

Sorry...

I have been slacking on my blog lately and I just really haven't been in the mood. I don't have any pictures to post because my husband has the camera in St. George and so the last two family events I have had to rely on my sibs to take pics and not a lot going on.

Curt has finished building in Saratoga Springs and is now living in St.George for a while any way ha ha :) So a lot closer for our visits. YAHOO. Our renters are moving out of our house in St.George so we will be moving back into the big part of the house and renting out the casita, way excited about the pool!!!

I am still in Vegas for my 3 days. Now that Curt is in St.George I am sure I will be making the trek more often, cheaper in my car and no work and nice yard waiting for me and hubby and two mutts :)

The job is going great!! I am really enjoying it. I am glad I started in critical care because I love the adrenaline and I don't picture myself anywhere else other than where all the crap hits the fan....literally sometimes. I enjoy sharing all my crazy medical stories with my parents and anyone else that will listen and not start gagging during the story. I am finding joy in my patients and the people I work with and my new roomie. Julie, my friend from nursing school that lived in the casita during school moved in this month. Curt is hardly ever here and I have this house alone and she needed a place and we both already know what we are both getting in to. It is working out really well. Nursing is an interesting profession and it makes it great therapy to have some one to talk to that already knows first hand what you are dealing with. It is really nice!!

We have traveled to Moab then to Oakland then back to vegas this last week. My great aunt passed away and she lives in Napa. We all gathered in Moab for a great family reunion of jeeping and lots of fun and laughter and then me and my parents set out on a road adventure to Napa for the funeral. Got to see some of my awesome cousins and enjoy some great company.

Signing off....I think that is about it.
