The Best Day with You

Gratefully Eric and I finally had the same day off this week. Most days we seem to be coming and going and passing each other in the night, but finally yesterday we got to have the BEST day together. It all started around noon, after sleeping in and getting ready, Eric and I drove to Thanksgiving Point. Harvest Festival kicked off yesterday there, and so we decided to go check it out. When we got to the Point we played around in the emporium for a little bit first. :)

The Candy Shop

My kitchen for my new food network show haha

After we played around for a bit we drove down the road to the gardens. I had never been before, and it had been years for Eric, but they are absolutely gorgeous. We took some pictures to share the beauty.

The gardens were stunning!!!

After we left the gardens Eric and I went back to the Square at the Point, and ate a late lunch. The food was amazing and really cheap!!! Then we went to the farmer's market that had started. It was awesome. They had live music...the girl singing sounded just like Ingrid Michaelson. Eric bought me a scentsy while we were there and a bunch of scents to go with it, and we got some freshly squeezed lemonade, and got to look at the giant pumpkins. We had a blast!!!

Eric and I left and met up with our friend Tyrel who had 2 extra tickets to the BYU vs. UCF football game and we were happy to help take the tickets off his hands. We all piled in our car and headed to the game. We made it just in time for kickoff!!! We had so much fun, the game was close, but BYU pulled it out in the end. It was my first ever college football game, which is shocking to some people who know me, and how much I love football. So enjoy the pictures!!! It was the BEST day  with my hubby who I love so much!

I got my haircut! It's different but I love it and Eric loves it too, cause I didn't chop all my long hair off!!! hahaha...I was really considering a bob for a while and went with the fringe bangs instead... its fun!

The Medical Side of Things

Wow...So mush has been happening lately so I just wanted to post an update or two on in the same blog so hopefully this doesn't get too confusing. First I thought I should update yall on how my new position at work is going. First plus about the new Job...Scrubs...all day long...mandatory...its like going to work in your pajamas everyday...love it.

Secondly, I have been trained now in registering, and interviewing, and doing physical examinations on donors, and now I am sticking people. :) First I practiced on dummy arms so I didn't hurt someone, but very quickly they moved me to sticking real people, and they say I'm a natural so YAY!!

Moving on, my very sweet and wonderful younger brother Aaron is 21, and in the Marines. I love his guts, and was very saddened when he sent me this picture text last week.

This is an X-ray of his spine, you can also see on the left side, that right pelvis sits much higher than the left side. He was diagnosed with scoliosis when he was a kid, but every time my parents would take him in to be examined, they always said it was minor and nothing needed to be done. We it's not so minor anymore. 3 1/2 yrs in the military will do that to a spine I guess. It has gotten much worse since he joined the military, and he goes back to the orthopedist on friday, but a very long and serious surgery awaits him. They are talking rods, hooks, pins, the works. I feel soooooooo bad for him, so please keep my brother in your prayers, he is gonna need them. 

He loves me most...Today :)

SO Sad summer is ending :(  (Pic taken in Gulf Shores, AL)

I have the best husband EVER! He is so sweet and thoughtful, and every once in a while he likes to surprise me with something really cute! Today...it was pretty blue daisies! I love him!!!!! I'm the luckiest girl in the world, I mean, he makes my lunches everyday for work, and almost always leaves a cute post-it telling me how beautiful I am, or how hard I work, or how much he loves me. The girls at work have gotten jealous and they have started taking pictures of the post-its and are sending them to their husbands wondering when they're gonna get a note, and the guys I work with are getting upset with their wives cause they have to make their own lunches! He also occasionally will surprise me with dinner dates to new restaurants we haven't tried around town, or to a movie, or even just some yummy treats and we redbox it. Yeah buddy!!! I hit the JACKPOT!!!! My hubby spoils me rotten! :) I love his guts more than he'll ever know! But he thinks it's vice versa ;) I mean somedays we literally will argue for 10 min. about who loves each other most!!! hahaha I know, we are gross, cheesy, make you want to vomit, "SO IN LOVE" Newlyweds, but I wouldn't want it any other way!

One of two of the notes I got today...it was sitting next to the vase of flowers on the kitchen table when I got home from work today. Not to mention he went and did the grocery shopping for the week so I didn't have to...He is definitely earning the best husband of the year award in my book! :)
