Test

I'm testing out my new iphone and the ability to blog from here. Garth got a new saw on black Friday and I got this phone.

Exciting stuff

Last weekend we went to my cousin Justin's wedding. It was beautiful and we had a good time. We had my cousin Lea and her boyfriend and daughter Raya stay with us last weekend while they were in town for the wedding. This weekend is a surprise birthday party for Grandma Hess. And next weekend we have "Pub Night" at our friend Pam's. Lots of fun stuff ahead.

We also have a meeting this Saturday, well an orientation really, with an adoption agency. So we're hoping to learn a lot and get started with some classes.

I was also approached about a new position at work. I was asked to consider becoming the assistant director of resident services for our facility. It is one step under the director of nursing basically. It was a huge honor since I was asked on only my 60th day of employment. The other nurses who have been there longer, years longer in some cases, were not even asked. It would be less hands on nursing and more of the business side of things. Our executive director gave approval and they were supposed to meet with corporate today to get the go ahead. On the bright side of it, no more holidays, nights or weekends. I choose 4 days a week to do 10 hr shifts, flexible to what I want that week or what I need.

Garth is ready to jump into Christmas light decorating mode already, he wants to start this weekend. I'm not quite ready to take down my fall decor yet so I'm a little hesitant. We are going majorly all out on lights outside this year. We are aiming at winning "Best Decorated House" in the neighborhood. And you know Garth....he's ready! He recently bought 2 bags full of lights at a garage sale he drove past while working.
