Updates for February

Hey all!! It's been a while, but things are going good here in Virginia. We went to Virginia Beach the week before Valentine's day for a whale watching trip. The humpback whales migrate through that area in the winter. We stayed on the beach and walked in the sand barefoot, it was nice. Our boat trip was cancelled though due to the high winds, which was a huge bummer. Then our computer crashed and we lost all our pictures that were on our computer!! I was a little devastated, but glad I had downloaded a lot of pics onto facebook, so bye bye all our pictures from the beach. That's okay the trip was a little disappointing and hopefully we'll go back to the beach another time when it's warm enough to swim. We also lost pictures from hiking with our friends Scott and Cheryl. But at least our computer is working now that we have wiped it and reinstalled everything. grrr. Posting a blog isn't nearly as much fun without pictures, unless you are smart and witty like Jess Barnes... drat someday you can write my biography filled with dragons and fantastical creatures.



Other than that I've been working and I am enjoying the new unit I am on. I work with a lot of travel nurses, which is crazy at times, but very fun. We work together well and since it is all so new, and many people don't know the hospital and the unit is so small we have to rely on each other to get things done. Matt is doing a wonderful job taking care of things around the house, cooking and baking and learning all sorts of things. Last week he made his mom's mostaccoli's and it was fantastic! We had people over to share in the yummy goodness. The only problem was that we do not have much pot or pan space and thank goodness Autumn left us a crock pot in December, because we would not have been able to fit it all in and have a pot available to cook the noodles. Her recipe makes a lot, it filled our crock pot up to the top edge! Matt spends a lot of time online reading up on the news and researching politics, economy, stock market stuffs, and of course playing some games.



Well I hope everyone is doing well. We don't really know where we are going next, the market for travel nurses is still slow and very competitive, so we'll see in the next month or so what happens. We may stay here for another three months if we need to, to ride things out. Love you and take care!
