tah-dah

so it's been forEVER since i last posted. it seems to be a trend of mine..but i don't usually feel like i have that much to say, so yes. here we go.
so the work-a-thon was terrible as expected, but it was awesome to get to senda big check to the ol' credit card company. so now we've cut down our debt by about $3000. so WAH-HOO! soon enough we'll be debt-free and i can get my little element! eep!
otherwise, we are MOVING in a couple of weeks out of our stupid apartment, so that's exciting. the people downstairs finally moved out, so no more mason lOCKDOWn at 11:00pm! that was getting annoying. but we haven't started packing at ALL, so wish me luck. hopefully i can just plop a bunch of stuff in my backseat and make a bunch of trips over there. like 31 times.
my parents and michelle visited us out here a couple of weeks ago, so that was WAY fun! it was nice seeing people from home, and it was REALLY nice just to not be working. we got to go to washington dc, and see all of the capitol stuff...that was cool. and with michelle, we got to spend a night at the beach. i got some sun, which my white body desPERately needed. aaron lost his wedding ring, and then found it (well, the guys with metal detectors found it). it was SO fun to get to hang out again.
we got some new dining chairs for our lovely pier one table! yipee! they are FABulous, as expected. they are on our picture website. i'll try to post the vacation pictures soon...i usually have to ask aaron all kinds of questions, but i'll try!
speaking of, i think aaron might be getting a promotion soon! way to go aaron. he'll soon be a CREATIVE. which sounds so elitist to me, but translated means "the guy who does one-on-one training to help people learn how to use their computers". but he LOVES doing that anyways, so perfect!
i've been cutting a lot of people's hair out here lately...so that's been fun. i'd love to go to cosmetology school out here part time, but the only one i've found is only full time. plus, it takes like 9 months to complete. yikes! i figure i'll either do hair or interior design when i get tired of nursing in like 15 years. should be fun :)
my little man at work got discharged like 2 weeks ago, hooraY! it's great to see kids going home...sometimes i forget that some people actually DO get better. it's been hard up here lately...sometimes i don't know how i do this everyday! i never thought i would want to do pediatric oncology-especially with the kids where treatment didn't work before...but i really do like my job. i think god has been able to lift my spirits through my little support system of aaron and mason. plus, i have a lot more friends out here now, so that's always good. and ice cream doesn't hurt either.
so the whole get skinny program is back on. i stopped for a little while because, basically it's no fun being on a diet. but APPAREnTLY it's really easy to gain weight back, so my progress has been stunted! drat! so my ewl of 20 lbs went to about 14 lbs. oh well. back on :)
go see "in the land of women" with adam brody, it's fabulous. and eat lots of popcorn for me.
july, i hope your trip to oxford goes peachily-i'm sure you'll be GREAT! i watched "you've got mail" last night, and thought of you :)
