Holidazzle parade

This year I went to the holidazzle with Sara and it was DOWNRIGHT cold!! but very fun!! We went early with the Spirit 92.9 bus and checked out the Macy's display and then we walked around and then it was time to get outside and FREEZE!! and i had multiple layers on! Let's see I had two sock layers, two pant layers, 4 top layers, headband, head scarf, regular scarf and two mitten layers!!! it was still cold, but a lot of fun! when i got home and worked out, it was crazy to me how I could be hot all of the sudden!!! LOL!!!!

Tonight some friends and I were going to check out a Walk Through Christmas which is a nativity show at the Waters church in Sartell, but my friend got called to work last minute and next weekend I am going to be in Florida!!! (WOOT WOOT!) i am kinda hopping it gets cold here, so I can brag about how nice it is down there, when I am not in MN! does that make sense??? 5 more days!!! YEEEEPPPP!! so excited!!!

it just is really bad timing, but i am so glad that my new employer is understanding and is giving me the time off, Thank you! My first couple days went good, its still stressful just because I don't know what I am doing yet, but I know I will catch on eventually!! Its also fun getting to wear scrubs again! the thing is though that i was at the south campus the past couple days and finally figured out my way around and now i am going to have to figure out my way around the NW campus, AHHH!!!! im still trying to figure out where the 1st floor breakroom is at the NW clinic, hahaha!!!!

oh well let's have a good week everyone!!! we can do this! i have a great feeling about working at SCMG (St. Cloud medical group!), but i just want to know how to do everything NOW!!!!! sigh. prayers needed!!!

i SURVIVED my first day!!! WOOT WOOT!

so exciting!! It was snowing like crazy, so I left plenty early and actually got there at like half an hour early which was good! better early than late!

and i was only there for a couple hours for orientation, so it was good. I'm really excited, I think this is going to be great! I have a really good feeling! keep praying!!!

Last day at Wheelchairs Plus!!!

Kinda sad, I'm gonna miss everyone over there! From the service guys Crazy Mike (uh huh huh huh!) Tommy G and Jason's stories to the girls my buddy Cassandra who hates the twins to Angie who LOVES the twins!!

And our Grand Rapids office people including Rose, Laurie, and Rachel! Its been a fun year and a half, but I am very excited and ready for this opportunity at St. Cloud Medical Group. I have a good feeling about this!! Although we are expecting big amounts of snow tomorrow, YIKES! of course this would happen to me on my first day at my new job! UGH! i could definitely use your prayers!

My last day was really fun though. We got Extreme Pita which is AWESOME, and I am kinda sad that I am not going to be close enough for lunch there anymore. sadness, but when I picked it up EP has this deal going on where if you buy a $25 you get a free meal!!! excited, so i texted Sara and that is what we are getting each other for Christmas, we are OBSESSED!!!!! but i forgot that i am supposed to forget this; wait what? I'm confused. haha!

but yes, i am sad to be leaving, but very excited for the St. Cloud Medical Group, I have a very good feeling about this!

Kimball Church of Christ

I went to my parents house last night and then went to church with them this morning. I just love going back to my home church, it was so fun to see everyone and Adam Magnuson preached, and he was WONDERFUL! i will still remember him as the little boy who would come over after church to hang out with Kevin, but then Kevin and Adam's brother would go play outside and Adam would sit by my dad and watch sports with him and it would drive my dad crazy. He would try to have mom and anyone else get him to go outside and play with the other boys! but he loved hanging out with dad! I can't blame him though, I love hanging out with my dad too!!!

and now to have him preach, that was pretty great!!!

it was just nice to check in and see all those I've grown with. It's always good to reconnect with your roots, although it is SOOOOOO cold at my parents house! BRRRR!!! forgot what it was like to be in an old farmhouse, so thats why I left my favorite twins sweater that is WAY too big for me, which rocks, at my parents, so I can use it when I am home! HAHA!!

what a FABULOUS Thanksgiving weekend!!

it was so great! I got so much done and feel like this is the first time I am just sitting down and chilling! which is so crazy! I worked out like CRAZY this weekend, like i am telling you C R A Z Y!!! I didn't know I would turn into an exercise freakazoid, but I think I have!! haha!!

I also did A LOT of cleaning in my house and Christmas decorating, so it looks so nice! YAH! also I just feel like I am organizing my personal life, so I feel like my professional work life will be organized. I am so excited albeit nervous about starting at the St. Cloud Medical Group on Wednesday. I feel like this is my "dream job" just because I am a patient there and I've always wanted to work there, and now I get too! I'm pretty stocked, I just have pre work jitters! I hope things go well! keep praying for me!

Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving weekend and remember to give thanks every day, not just once a year!!!

Its the most wonderful time of the year! YIPPEE!!!! :)

Happy "pizza" day otherwise known as Turkey day!!

heehee!!!

My family and I usually do pizza on thanksgiving, just because I don't like traditional thanksgiving food! haha! While this year, call us crazy, but with mom and dad in Missouri visiting my grandma and family out there, my siblings and I were going to have a sibling thanksgiving, but my sister and I were both exhausted (with everything going on with my new job, I just need a "me weekend!") and kevin was going to be invested in football all day, and besides I think we should be thankful every day, not just once a year, but anyway we decided to just do thanksgiving on our own, which was just fine with me. I start my new job next week and I am getting so nervous and excited, and I want to Christmas decorate tomorrow, but my house is a pigstye, so I've basically been cleaning all day!! haha, im such an exciting person!

the best part was sleeping in and letting my body wake me up, which is the BEST feeling in the world, I also went shopping yesterday to get food supplies for the long weekend. Sara and I hung out yesterday and did EP wednesday instead of Friday, and then around 2:00 in the morning I forgot that i needed lettuce and milk, so Sara and I went to Coborns across the road, good times with the bestie! Anyway, today has been awesome, very chill and laid back, although I've been cleaning like crazy and working out like crazy!!

but now the Christmas season has "officially" begun! WAHOO!!! I am going to start decorating, as soon as I am done cleaning!! EEEKKK!!!

it continued this morning with getting a walk up call from my friend Brenda, for church! YAH! still getting used to going to church on Sunday morning.

church was great, Lynn (my mom's maid of honor and good friend) sang, which I LOVE when she does!

then after church Brenda, Lori, Darlene and I went to see a movie called Free Birds, it was such a cute cartoon about turkeys and thanksgiving! it ended quite funny, as the turkeys, indians, and pilgrims ate Chuck E Cheese pizza! sooooo funny! as that is what is on the menu for thanksgiving!

then i went home and watched some skating! YAH! and then i met up with Lisa to get some hot chocolate! its been such a fun weekend, and I am oh so blessed by my friends and family! its going to be a good 29th year on this planet!!!
