We've been busy working...Justin went to some continuing education for the past few weeks leaving Blaze and I here to fend for ourselves. We were real glad when he came home for the weekends and then for good later in the month. I have been busy working at the clinic, a SNF, and on a weekend rotation at the hospital. I really enjoy my job and have learned a LOT in this first year. For all my SLP friends, we picked a great field, didn't we?! I've been to a couple of continuing education courses this past year and am looking forward to more!
Justin and I have been with Crossfit Heartland since earlier this year. We LOVE it. I had gone to Crossfit Omaha before we moved to Grand Island. I really missed that type of workout. Justin had done Crossfit in camp and on his own after graduation. We were THRILLED when a gym opened here. It's the best group of people. We've made some fantastic friends and look forward to going each day. It's so fun because each day is different and regardless of ability, you can fit right into a WOD. Everything is tailored to your level of fitness. Best thing that has happened here in Grand Island since moving here!!
I started playing sand volleyball with a group of girls I work with at GIPT. Luckily for them, I am still as "good" as I was last year. :) We already won more than we did in the past, so we're ahead! Justin has been golfing quite a bit this spring and been able to relax a bit. Despite his hectic work schedule, he's been able to make a few short trips. This past weekend he went to see a good friend in Sidney. He doesn't get to enjoy himself too often but when he does, he makes the most of it!! :) We've gone to the river on the hot days to cool off. Blaze LOVES water this year. He was a little timid and scared the first time...but he's overcome those fears and is now a swimming machine! It's hilarious to see him paddling along after a dummy. We had a baby shower for Lindsey in April which was a hit! Little Mari made her grand appearance early but is at home with her parents. It was so great to see Lindsey and Ben!! Thanks Sally for co-hosting!!
BIG news...we got a new car!! The Yaris is no longer. Aren't you sad? I traded in the 40 mile/gallon tin can for a 19 mile/gallon steel box. I will no longer be blown away on the interstate, slide through the snow, get back spasms, make my foot go numb from long trips, etc. Our new SUV is fantastic. We love the room and all the perks of a brand new car!!
Here are some picture updates....
Getting ready to run through the sprinklers! YES!!
Sweet Mari :)
You are beautiful!!
Lindsey's baby shower!!
