whoa…realized it has been a couple of months since i have blogged. been busy but also been on vacation 
jason and i spent 9 fabulous days in hawaii for our five year anniversary. we spent the first 4 days on the big island snorkeling, exploring volcanoes, falling more in love. and the last 5 days on oahu with jason’s sister keeli, her husband justin, and our beautiful two year old niece julia. we relaxed, got lots of sun, and reconnected with family. both were very different, but very fun. we had the most fabulous food and incredible views of my short little 32 years.
when i returned i started my new job in the emergency department at children’s hospital. so far i absolutely love it. i feel like a real nurse again, learning, growing, seeing everything under the sun. it is quite fun. also i am back on three twelves my favorite! i love having four days at home to clean, cook, workout, relax, it really makes big difference.
in other news, my best friend has asked me to be her maid of honor. i am so excited for her to be married and so honored that she wants me to stand next to her. i love her so much and am so proud of how far she has come. i simply cannot wait for her wedding!!!
today is thanksgiving and i have more to be thankful for than i can recap. my husband has been home for almost a year (which as many of you know is a true miracle). i have a marvelous and super sweet family that is strong and supportive. i have steady job that i love and a schedule i am grateful for. i am healthy and in love and so is my dear husband. i have wonderful friends in d.c. and all across the country and couldn’t be more grateful for all they have done for me. and finally i have a great big god who has blessed me immensely and watched over me with every step and misstep i have made. i am thankful to him for not just providing but also causing us to thrive. everyday i hope to grow closer to him and learn more about his plan for my life. this life is just the beginning not the end.
happy thanksgiving to everyone…love you!
