so im sitting here at work bored out of my mind!!! i have one baby that required very little attention! i have been holding her quite a bit though because she is so darn cute. she's a former preemie so shes tiny! hearing babies cry around me reminds me that i do not want babies for a long time!!!! work is the best birth control by far!
anyways...nicholas surprised me with a new camera yesterday! we have been talking about getting one for a while and he decided the time was right. we have already seen a lot since we've been traveling and will see so much more! we needed a good camera to capture all of the special times! we got a nikon d3000. we have lots of learning to do on how to use it! nicholas is a great photographer...he will probly use it the most!
oh yea!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best hubby in the world!!!! today is his bday, but unfortunately he has to work. i got off on his birthday and then he let his unit schedule him for it. he's silly! its okay though. the big celebration will be this weekend. we are going to the texas hill country to spend the weekend at a bed and breakfast with my sis and heath! we are soooooo excited! heath's bday is the 31st so we are gonna just have one big celebration! dont worry...im sure there will be lots of stories and pictures to share! cant wait for suzy and heath to get here thursday! we plan on having dinner thursday night for nicholas. friday morning we are going to have bfast at a place downtown that used to be an old flour mill. suz and heath have eaten there and they loved it! we plan on spending some time at the riverwalk that morning and then maybe hitting some wineries on our way to the bed and breakfast in comfort, texas. saturday we plan on hitting several wineries on our way through fredericksburg (the greatest place ever). ending saturday night with dinner at the salt lick (it's near austin). we may have a couple of small surprises up our sleeves for the boys while we are there! i hope its a fun birthday celebration for them! it was all heath's idea! cant wait to post about it! well...actually i can because then it would mean the trips over!!

the ViRuS from....
you know where!! the past couple of days have been rough!! my last real meal was tuesday night and that was the last time i was hungry! i havent been sick in a long time...or at least since my surgery! i forgot how horrible a stomache virus could be! we had planned on going to corpus christi on wednesday. we were so excited to about taking molly to the beach, but thats the morning i woke up not feeling well. we were also both very tired. working night shift does a toll on ya! i really knew something was wrong when i woke up and i wasnt hungry. i ALWAYS wake up hungry...basically im always hungry! i couldnt keep anything down. not even peanut butter...it's my favorite food! lets just say that i wont be eating it for a while!! anyways...i have the most incredible husband in the world!! he always takes care of me but he definitely did a great job of it the past couple of days! he got me cold washcloths, crackers, whatever i thought i could drink, he went to cvs thursday morning to get me pedialyte, sprite, and popsicles, he also convinced me that i didnt need to go to work thursday night bc i hadnt eaten in two days and i was very weak. i felt horrible having to call in and not go to work, but he was right. i could barely stand up i have been so weak. i tried some potato soup tonight and ate most of it. still havent felt hungry but i forced myself to eat. i do feel a lil but better, but not 100% yet.
if i do feel lots better by saturday i may try to work. it will put me working 4 days in a row though...i hate doing that. my sissy and heath are coming thursday though, so i think that thought might get me through an extra night. the bad thing about missing a night of work, is that we have to pay for part of our housing for that week. i know...it's really complicated. so basically i have to pay my agency for that night of work.
i just want to reiterate how amazing my husband is! he has been so understanding and so comforting! he has let me just lay in bed pretty much all day for two days...i feel like a horrible wife. thats the only place i could get comfortable. he has taken great care of molly. he even cut up my popsicle into lil pieces like my parents used to do when i was little. he's had to pretty much fend for himself. molly has been kinda confused, but i think she realized on thursday that something was wrong with me. i felt sorry for her. anyways...i do feel much better tonight! im still pretty weak though! nicholas and the Man upstairs are really taking care of me! that's all a girl needs!

knock on wood...
as of right now...life couldnt get any better! my license issues have been resolved and luckily i only had to miss 2 days of work! i absolutely love working at cristus santa rosa childrens hospital! everyone is very nice and my assignements are never too bad! they are very good to their travelers and they really appreciate us! at uab, i was used to having the sickest babies all the time! i do fear losing some of my skills but i really dont think i will! i do miss working at uab and cant wait to go back in a couple of years! nicholas is really enjoying working at the methodist hospital as well! we are excited that we are now both working steady/guaranteed hours, and that our paychecks will reflect that! now we can really start saving some money!!
molly is awesome!! we had to leave her for 12 hours for the first time last week and to be honest...i cried! i felt soooo bad leaving her! she is the bestest dog ever! she has a new favorite toy that she LOVES to squeak! its a soft bone that has pink hearts all over it with pink furry stuff around the edges. she is sooo smart too. she knows the name of all her toys...she always brings us the ones we ask for. i think she is getting more used to the apartment life now. shw doesnt really bark very much now. she does get very restless during the day when we have to sleep for work! its quite frustrating sometimes but we deal with it. she actually bothers nicholas the most when we are trying to sleep...lucky for me! she's always sitting on his pillow scratching him in the face. she will be going on our trip with us the end of this month to the bed and breakfast! i guess she will go wine tasting with us! she is soooo rotten! im too scared to leave her with a babysitter! i need to leave her at home with her nana and papa next time we go! they would love it!
we plan on going home towards the end of february for me to go to the doctor...just a check-up! so we will definitely be ready to see all of our friends again! it was great getting to see most everybody at christmas but it was really just a tease. it made us miss everyone sooooo much more! we will probly try to have everyone over or go to dinner or something!
we spent most of the day friday getting everything together for our california license. there's still a couple of things we have to do but they have been applied for, so please pray nothing holds up the process! we did have to send in fingerprint cards and thats what held up my texas license. since im a nurse...i wash my hands a whole lot and apparently i washing my fingerprints away. the lady that did them here sent a letter with my card saying that im a nurse and thats as good as my prints get, so hopefully the fbi will be understanding and just accept them! we plan on going to cali when we get done here. i really want to go somewhere beachy!! i really need a tan! we will obviously go wherever God leads...we just want to be prepared!
we miss our families TERRIBLY!! i am excited about getting to see my sis and heath on january 28th!! thats the hardest part about this experience! i am such a mommy and daddys girl...it's really sad! of course i talk to them everyday but it's just not the same! as far as we know everyone is doing great! we just miss and love them all sooooo much! all of you just know...we are having the time of our lives! i know i had a hard time in the beginning, but once i decided to grow up and be happy everything has been great! we are loving just being together! we are able to work the same nights which is great! we plan on going to corpus christi and austin on days that we are off! we are getting to do and see things we would have never done!
BY THE WAY...i have the most beautiful drives in the mornings and at night! the sunrises and sunsets are ALWAYS beautiful here!!!! they always remind me of the GREAT GOD that i serve!!
