Summer Lovin'

Hey y'all! I wanted to do a quick blog post since I have some free time before I go to work today. As most of you know, I passed my boards and have been training over the last week and a half with my employer. My training period is almost over, and I will actually be working on my own for the first time this weekend. To say I am nervous would be the understatement of the century, but I know the best way to learn is to jump right in and do it! I am absolutely loving going to work everyday.. I know what you're thinking since I've only been at it for about two weeks, BUT working will beat sitting at home studying all day every. single. time. 

Unfortunately, Tyler is still stuck at home studying for the bar exam, which he will take soon. Prayers would be appreciated! I still say it was by the grace of God that I got through my exams. I was prepared, but I have pretty bad test anxiety. I studied the entire prep book, but the morning of the exam was a disaster! I got myself so worked up. When I sat down to take the test, I said a prayer and asked God to just be with me and help me to calm down so I can read and understand the questions being asked. I know it was because of Him that I got through that! 

Since I've been working, Ty and I are trying to adjust to our new schedules. Sometimes I work morning shift, which I prefer, but then there are evenings I don't get home until almost 10:00 at night. That means we are trying to plan meals out for the week, so expect some upcoming blogs to be on things we have tried out for lunches and dinners! Last night I made a Pinterest favorite, Million Dollar Spaghetti, and Ty and I FINALLY cut into our year old wedding cake. My mom did a fabulous job of sealing it up and freezing it because once it thawed, it looked exactly as it did on our wedding day. Unfortunately, neither of us actually ate our wedding cake on our wedding day because we were so busy running around, so last night was the first time either of us had sampled it. The cake was strawberry with strawberry preserves glazing the cake and a rich buttercream frosting. My mom kept the cake at her house in the freezer for us, and I hadn't had a chance to go home and get it which is why we are eating the cake almost a month after our one year anniversary LOL 

Last weekend was my first weekend off of work since I started, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Saturday Kelly met Ty and me and Berry Hills for lunch, and then we had a sister movie date and watched The Secret Life of Pets. It was so cute! We laughed through the whole thing! On Sunday, I went home to lay out by the pool and visit with my family. It felt like it was the first hot sunny day that we've had in awhile, and I soaked up every minute of it! Mom made my favorite dinner: pinto beans, fried potatoes, and kraut and kielbasa. She even made brownies for dessert! We ate (twice) and floated in the pool. My mamaw, papaw, gran, and Bub stopped by to visit, and Taylor came up and brought Bo! We LOVED visiting with them! I'm telling y'all that baby has us wrapped! We love him so much!

Just look at that grin!

His uncle Jim sure does love him!

I hope y'all have a great rest of the week! I promise to blog more now that I don't have to dedicate all of my time to studying. The problem now is that I am working a lot and not doing any fun things to blog about LOL but I will try to start posting more frequently! Until next time.. take care y'all!
