My apologies on the delayed update....I didn't realize it's been almost 2 weeks or better since the last time I posted....SO SORRY!! Hope all the mother's in our lives had an enjoyable and deserving day to celebrate all your amazing-ness on Mother's Day!
Not much has really been happening since the last post. Mostly we are continuing settling into our new home, town, state, routine...etc. We've gone out to a couple new restaurants that seem to be local or at least new to us....and nothing that has been earth shattering, deliciousness yet....so either I'm getting to be too good of a cook or we just don't know how to appreciate local cuisine yet!
I've done a few little DIY projects. One was a crayon melt on canvas that so many people seem to be "pinterest crazy" about. I made this for my neice, Izzy's, birthday present! She got it a little late...but I think she enjoyed it. I got so involved in it that I forgot to take a picture when it was all said and done! But if you really want to see what these are like, you can follow this link.

In other news, I'll be starting a job here in a couple of weeks at Ochsner North Shore Medical Clinic. If you really want to check it out you can follow this link!

I'm really excited about it....although the shift isn't that ideal (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), it was about the only full-time position available in the area--and I got it! It will, however, be perfect in that I have 4 days off during the week, it's right down the street from us, and I'll be in a hospital setting again, which I'm really looking forward to! It's a pretty well known health system in Lousisia, so I think I'm getting my foot through the right door for better future opportunities!
Chad is starting to get pretty involved in his job. They haven't even really started any big pours of concrete yet.....so once June starts rolling in, I'll probably hardly see him! He's already putting in about 12hr days, 5 days a week.....but he's working with a great group of people and learning a lot...which, in the end, will be a GREAT project to put on his resume for future opportunities.....maybe, oh, move back to Nebraska :) (Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it here.....but I am really counting the days to when we can go spend time with family just because, instead of having some big event or holiday to try and plant to get there for)
This weekend we will be traveling to Chad's project manager's house for a crawfish boil.....I'm assuming this will be an experience....and this Nebraska girl will be learning just what the fuss is all about.....seems a crawfish boil is just as common around here as giong to a Nebraska tailgate during the fall! It won't be steak and potatoes...but I'm open to the adventure....trust me...there will be pictures depicting this experience! Plus, it involves beer, so I think I'll be able to find a way to be a little bitcontent :-)
Other than that....we can't complain. We really are enjoying the fact that we get to see each other every day,being happy.....and be married!! We hope everyone out there reading this has a similar happiness somewhere in their lives!
We'll be traveling back to Nebraska for a quick weekend trip home, June 14-17. We'd love to see anyone and everyone!! love you all!
I'm making a burlap wreath this weekend! I really like yours!
