As usual it has been a few weeks since I have caught up the blog! We have had quite the busy little while and several pics to prove it :)
It has been getting super cold in Lewiston! I broke out the vests, coats, and hats a little early, but anyone who knows me knows I am NOT a fan of the cold!! No one says that you can't be cute all bundled up though ;)
My job at the dental office is going great! It is very stressful at times, but I am enjoying it. We are in the middle of doing a conversion to a different dental software and going more electronic! I am so excited and will be sooo relieved when everything is situated :) The dentist I work for is based out of Joseph,Oregon and also has a practice there. He flies into Lewiston a few days a week to see patients and the other few days of the week I play catch up on isurance billing and claims. A couple of weeks ago, we got to go to Oregon for training of the new software! Jordan came too and it was a fun little getaway :) On the way we saw TONS of deer literally arms reach away! It was great to see and I had to snap a pic. Also we woke up to such a pretty view outside the hotel!
Deer we saw on the way :)
The beautiful view outside our hotel room!!
I was so excited to go to the pumpkin patch a few days before halloween, and it ended up completely pouring that day! So instead, I stayed warm inside, and baked cupcakes to take for all the girls at training in Oregon. I took my time making them super pretty and the packaging perfect. I was one proud baker! Spice cupcakes with pumpkin cream cheese frosting was the final product and they were OOBER good!!
We joined a rec volleyball league a little bit ago and play a couple nights a week on a team with some friends :) At first I was super apprehensive and didn't know if it would even be any fun, but we are having a blast! We were undefeated until our last game where we lost by 2, but we have a rockin team! The only downside to playing is well.....bruises. I was never an avid volleyball player, so my wrists and arms aren't exactly "broken" in! So that being said... check out my battle wound.....
This was even AFTER a week of healing! It got all green and nasty.... This is looking good compared to where it started out at! Its a blood sport, but we love it :)
We love Costco...That is about all to say about this next pic :) portion and freeze for two people! Gotta love their good deals!
So I'm sure you all are sick of hearing about politics and all that garbage, but for me, this year's election was very personal. Due to lovely heath care reform from obamacare, our bebefits went from super great to super super scary for next year! When we sat down to look at them for Jordan's open enrollment which was a few nights before the election, I just sat and stared thinking, "Am I missing something here????" I hoped and prayed that Mitt Romney would win so that this country could get back on track. With the road Obama is leading this country down, it is scary to afford daily life let alone a family. Among the many benefits of Jordan's great job with Ecolab, his Health Benefits were top on the list. Like I mentioned, those are now in the toilet due to Obamacare. This adds stress to being able to eventually fulfill a longtime dream of both of ours to start a family down the road. I was deeply saddened to see that our country is dumb enough to put Obama back in and unleash more evil and damaging things to this great country that so many have worked so hard to build. After the election Tuesday night, I just sat on the couch and cried. Now more than ever, prayer, food storage, and following church leadership counsel is essential. I saw this on Pinterest and though it was rather appropriate. Apparently common sense isn't so common in this world anymore!
My ring has been at the jewelers for the last week for its annual inspection and cleaning for the warranty. I have felt NAKED!! It has been such a weird feeling! I wore a little ring while it was away and I didn't realize how heavy my wedding set was till I didn't have it! It is a beast! I absolutely LOVE it though and everytime I look at it, I remember the handsome man that I get to spend forever with <3 Speaking of handsome man.... My hubby surprised me at work with panda for lunch on Friday, AND brought me my beautiful ring from the jewelers! He was all dressed up and looking sharp too! He is a keeper for sure :)
This weekend, Jordan is on call in Spokane again! Man 5 weeks have snuck up on us again... It feels like we were just here! We are for sure making it worth our while though while we are here. We have been looking to upgrade our couches and get an entertainment center so we can finally put our living room together. It is so bare! Our little town of Lewiston doesn't have much to offer in the furniture department, so we are searching all the furniture warehouses here in Spokane in hopes to have some pretty new living room furniture delivered! Day 1 was tiring, but pretty successful so far :) We are super pooped! We enjoyed a super yummy dinner at a new place called Boston's and then hit the bed to relax! Can't beat a weekend getaway with your best friend!
Love to all and and to all a goodnight ;)
