ZOO!

 

Daniel and I made a fun trip in March to the ZOO! Both of us hadn't been in awhile, and the weather finally permitted us to go, so one weekend we had off, we drove to Raleigh, spent the night and then spent all day Saturday at the Zoo! It was neat to see the all the animals and great to be outside with the beautiful weather. Here is a picture of me at one of the exhibits. The rest are posted are our Google public gallery. Enjoy!

Coming up on the one year mark!

It's been a year now since I have been married to my wonderful husband. I thought it would be interesting to share some of the things that I have learned in the past year about marriage and about my husband.

1. It really doesn't matter how it gets done, just that it gets done.
2. Don't discuss important things when you're both tired and hungry.
3. Men have a warmer body temprature almost all of the time.
4. Men like their personal space and time to do guy things, just allow it.
5. A guy really cannot function well without proper sleep and nourishment.
6. A guy will open up to you if you shut your mouth and open your ears.
7. Tone of voice really does not matter, its more about what you say.
8. Communication isn't just about talking, its understanding each other.
9. Guys like to have their "guys things" (like a nice TV, nice stereo, nice car, etc)

I am sure there is more but this is all I can think of right now! Thanks babe for a great year! Love you lots!

New Boss and Favorite Word

I am blogging about work today. All in all exciting. (Not really) Anywho, recently, there have been lots of things going on in the Patient and Food Administration Department. With the opening of the New Heart Insitute, there have been lots of extra work for everyone and it has been a little overwhelming, especially for my manager. It just seemed that she was stressed out by out the new responsibilites that she had and that came with the opening of the Heart Institute. The result; lots of things were getting neglected that were not priority over the Heart Institute. So, as a result of that, the other managers in the Department went to my manager, told her to take a vacation and when she returned they would have her a new position working as a manager in the new heart institute. Sounds like a great opportunity. Really its the other way around, its a downgrade in pay and perhaps some other things as well. In the meantime, they are looking for someone to replace her. Until then, they brought in a interim manager and if they do not find someone to replace my old manager, they will offer the manager position to this interim manager. The new interim manager is a older man, from another country. He is Irish, but also a Jew. He has been very interesting addition so far. He has only been here about a week, and made many changes. Some of which some have not been so fond on. He has talked to us to many times about these changes which is great. Its nice to finally know what is going on. He told me the other day that some of the things going on here right now are horsepoop. Yes, horsepoop. My new favorite word. We shall see how these new changes will be or perhaps they will become more horsepoop too. Toodles!

Scary Dentist!

 

I did it! I went in today to get 4 fillings! I was nervous for sure. So the doctor prescribed me some Atvin, that works like valium. They also gave me some Nitrous Oxide, which we very helpful. Within an hour, they were done! It was amazing and great that I was almost pain-free! Daniel of course, stayed in the room with me and then drove me home. Where I have just recently gotten up from sleeping for 6 hrs! My first experience with cavtiy feelings has been good. We just must make sure that we have go dental insurance. Love ya guys!

Edenton!

 

 

 

 

Daniel and I had the day off yesterday, so we decided to take a small trip to the coastal town of Edenton! It was so neat! We discovered that there was a battle there from the Revolutionary War and that one of the signers of the Declaration lived there! We saw a few historic homes, as you can see from the pictures, ate some lunch at the Soda Shoppe and walked into a few shops to browse! It was just nice to be outside and out of Greenville!

Birthday Fun!

 

For Dan's birthday, Daniel went and got tickets to a car show in Raleigh. He and Grant(my nephew) had a blast! This is Daniel in his "dream car". They have lots of more pictures, but this was the best one!

Long time pass with no post!

Time flies when your busy! The past two months it seems like all we do is sleep, eat and work. We did do one or two fun things. Daniel's birthday came at the end of February! That day, I fixed him a special breakfast! He loved it! I don't have any pictures, sorry! That weekend, his parents took us out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory! Sooooo good and so nice to see his parents again! We also went and did a temple session! What a great way to end the month! This month, we were wanting to go to the Zoo this weekend, but it is deciding to rain the entire day. What a bummer! Also, this month, I am going to the dentist to get some cavities filled! What a joy! Not really, I hate the dentist, so pray for me. Maybe next month will be better.
