Work has been kicking my butt.

Work has seriously been kicking my butt.  I have never worked so hard for three days straight as I did this last week.  Every day had its own challenges.  Hard patients, busy patients, sick patients, needy patients. There is no way I could have gotten done with my work without the help my my charge nurse and resource nurse- three days straight of getting my butt kicked and then two days off.  When I came back I had a few more hard days, then Wednesday was easy.  I was so so ready for an easy day it wasn't even funny.  I am now rejuvinated enough to remember why I love nursing. :) 

Paul and I have found time to hang out between all the chaos.  We went on an hour and a half walk to watch the sunset about a week ago.  This was the night Paul found out he was getting transferred to a new store, so he ended up being on the phone for 20 minutes of the walk, but it was still beautiful and I got to pick and eat handfulls of fresh blackberries that were growing by the roadside.  Lovely evening and I am so happy and proud of my husband for moving forward with work.  This store brings him one step closer to becoming a store manager. :)

When I redid our laundry room I somehow horribly mismeasured the cabinets and had a whole extra cabinet that wouldn't fit.  It ended up working perfectly above the sink in our garage and is absolutely wonderful there!  I love having covered clean storage in a dirty and dusty garage.  And yes those are unused kitchen towels but they are the ones I hate. I have a couple packs of costco dish towels and the ones with the printed design do not dry well enough for me to want to use them in the kitchen, and plus do I really want an artichoke design on my towels?  So into the garage for wiping up random messes they go.  We have already used them many times and I love having them out there.  I am going to buy a paper towel holder that will screw to the bottom of the cabinet and am pretty stoked to have paper towels out there.  :) 

New tank top that I got for 70% off and I am finally wearing and breaking in my Toms.  Paul bought them for me a year ago on our anniversary and they weren't comfortable because they are hand stitched canvas and they needed to be stretched and worn in.  I am loving having them as "new" shoes this summer/fall. Oh and I am holding our ring paperwork because we got them redone (white gold starts to look like crap after a while...if I only knew that earlier) and now they look absolutely fabulous!  We have warranties on both our rings so we can get them recoated however often we want for free! 

Eric my lover boy being oh so photogenic. 

Last Saturday I had energy and decided I was going to try and make it to first service, I definitely made it and it was wonderful.  I had forgotten how much I love going to church in the morning and having the whole afternoon to chill and do projects.  I went to Joannes, Top foods, Target, Home Depot, Safeway, Costco, and  the library, and I still had hours to chill at the house.  

I loved my outfit so much I had to take pictures of it for you girls.  Paul said I look Indian, I still love the outfit. 

Another short walk around the neighborhood led an awesome chill time in the park.  This park is only 5 minutes from our house and we just laid/sat on the bench, fiddled on our phones and watched the dragonflies eat bugs. Quite entertaining if you havent ever tried it! 

Blackberries from my in-laws back yard.  They will probably tear out all the bushes so I have to enjoy the plunder while I can! 

Ever since Becca mentioned printing at the library when she lived in the train house I have been thinking how I should print at the library more since it is free and ink for my printer at home is so freaking expensive.  I love the laser printers and all the free printables I have been saving up.  It makes me so happy.  Now I just need a place to display them all. :) (the real plan is to change them in and out of frames I already have up around the house, but this girl can dream of having a little girls room to decorate. )

Toms getting their work out on again in a dirty greasy motorcycle store. 

On Paul's last day at his Milton Safeway store we went out to dinner at pick quik.  They have greasy burgers and fries, Paul's favorite. :)  It was a special day for my man. 

Eric has taken to sleeping in my and Paul's underwear bins.  Not cool dude, not cool. Who wants to wear cat hair covered underwear? Nobody.  Needless to say there is a bunch of extra underwear in the loads of laundry I am doing right now....

I haven't bought eyeliner or eyeshadow since I was in high school because my mom and friend Carmen are always buying things they don't like and giving them to me.  I had forgotten my mom had given me this eyeliner marker but found it right as my previous eyeliner ran out.  I did't like it the first day because let's just say it is quite a bit harder to put on and make a straight line.  I am loving it now though!  The line is so much more accurate and perfect with the marker.  Thanks mom for the free awesome product!

I have been eyeing this pens and paint etsy shop for a while now and she just put this lovely print on sale today and I couldn't pass it up .  I love absolutely everything in the shop and want it all!  Seriously if I was rich I think I could spend thousands of dollars in etsy shops.  LOVE LOve love. 

Hope you girls are having a wonderful weekend.  I work Saturday/Sunday and then Paul and I get to go to Moses Lake Monday/Tuesday!! I am quite spoiled since my mom just left Auburn (she was only here for 24 hours be we still had lots of fun!).
