Our Long Overdue Honeymoon!

Thats right we finally went on our honeymoon after a year and a half of being married! I guess its technically not a honeymoon anymore! We decided to go to Orlando Florida and do the Disney World thing and it was a blast! We had so much fun and it was so wonderful just to be together and have some time to ourselves away from all the stress of life! The weather was absolutely gorgeous! I loved been in the warm sun surrounded by green! I am not a dry plains person and thats how eastern idaho is so it was a nice change of scenery. Boe is not a fan of the humidity though, I dont mind it. We stayed in a very nice hotel which was a nice perk. We had park hopper passes so we were able to go to all the parks. We went to Disneyworld, Disney Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Quest, and Downtown Disney, and on our last day we got to explore Orlando. We had so much fun at all of them! We just love the atmosphere at Disney! Some highlights were Splash Mountain of course, A rocking Aerosmith rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, snokerling with sharks and fish, Waterslides, Lots of 3-D shows, jungle safari so we got to see all kinds of animals, and so much more! It was a lot of walking so our feet were hurting and the end of each day but it was totally worth it! We were sad when we had to come home and hope we get to go back again!

Just a Little Bit of a Life Update

Well its been awhile since I blogged so im going to be playing a little catch up. As you can see Boe is graduated..yay! He is still in the looking for a job process which we hope will be ending here shortly but who knows with the way the economy is these days. Boe still plans on getting is masters in the near future so he will be back in school in a few months to finish up a couple science pre reqs. I just finished up my last semester of pre reqs and am looking forward to a school free summer.. The Big News about me is that I got into Nursing School and will be starting this fall! I cannot wait and am so thrilled!! I will be finished July 2010! I have been working at EIRMC for a year now and am still loving it! I have been blessed with such a wonderful job that has helped me learn and grow in so many ways. I know that I will be a confidant nursing student and a great nurse because of it! We are both so happy to have a more carefree summer this year and spend some more quality time together. We have been married a year and a half now and are more in love than ever!
