Today was a great day! Sach and I cleaned the house and it feels so good! I love to have a clean house, and my house was needing it. This week is my last week of orientation at my job. I'm kinda nervous about! I start on my own next week! Ahhh! Scary!
Everything is going great! Cash is getting HUGE! I took some new pics when I kept him last week. He stands like a pro! My sis says this week he has mastered the sippy cup. I hate how fast they grow but I'm happy he's healthy. Please excuse the mess in the pics, just pay attention to the kid :) As of this month he's 9 months old. He kinda reminds me of Gavin (Ash's cousin) in some of his pics.

He likes to show off how he can pull himself up! :)

I thought he's never get past the army crawl! :)

I hate scary movies!

I hate scary movies and Sach loves to rub it in! I fell asleep on the couch last night and woke up to Sach watching a scary movie, somehow during the movie ALL the lights were turned off. Then he proceeded to freak me out and say things like "Did you hear that?" and "Better not open the closet."!!!! I'm such a weenie!!! I got totally freaked out and turned on every light I could in my house, as he followed me and turned them off again! :) He's such a toot! Just one reason why I hate scary movies, and why Sach loves them! :)
My sis is doing better, things are settling down. She's been real sick, with the morning/all day sickness! She's dealing though. I kept Cash today and we had a great day! We went over to Ashley's and played with Gage and Kelton. Cash is cutting teeth and has been sleeping a bit so not alot of time was spent playing but I think he had fun. I bought him a toy radio that plays "You are my sunshine" a while back. At first he seemed like it totally annoyed him but today he started dancing and clapping and had a big SMILE on his face. It made my day, to say the least! :) He's getting so big! He pulls up and stands and is starting to talk more. Sach thinks he's getting cuter every day, but he doesn't really like kids :) (I still don't believe that!)
I had my first day handling patients on my own yesterday. It was crazy but fun! I'm going to a shower for Tandi this weekend and to get my bridesmaid dress! I'm kinda excited, they are so stinkin elegant! :) Ash and I will look beautiful! :)

Been a while....

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Things at work are going great! I love my job and I am learning new things everyday! Sach and I are doing fantastic! Our attempt to save money isn't going so well, but we'll get there :) I have recently been dealing with my sister. Bless her heart, she broke down in the doctor's office today! She's been under so much stress and I'm worried about my new little niece or nephew! Stress is not good on the womb. Some really crappy people have been in her life and are putting her though some poopy stuff. Some people just need to mind their own business and learn when to keep their mouth shut! They are nice enough to open their home to people, who intern help them. Granted my sis is prego and can be a bit grumpy at times, SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT! :) There is just no excuse to yell at someone who opens up their home to you, given they can barely afford their own expenses! I'm pissed and I have a hard time describing the situation without saying names and using explitives! Needless to say my sis kicked this person out and I hope it's for good. I have my own opinions.
Sach cracks me up! He says my postings will be getting fewer and farther between! :) He hates the computer! yet he seems to be on it WAY more than me with all his hockey stuff :) but who's counting? Hope everyone else is doing well :)

Safe and Sound....

So, Sach is back! His team won 1st place in their division! They were very excited and surprised. They ended up beating that women's team 5 to 2. I was happy he came back in one piece and uninjured. He has a tendency to play too hard :) I worked my second 12 hour shift today. It seemed like everyone was on edge at work, or maybe it was just me. I felt like people were talking about me behind my back. There's one guy who always makes me feel like a complete idiot! I'm sure as I get more comfy in my job things will get better and I won't feel that way...hopefully. Other than that, life is about the same. I attended Carla and Chili's engagement party on Saturday and I have included a pic of me and Juli and one of Juli and Carla. I also got a chance to catch up with some friends I don't ever see anymore. My friend Lane(whom I adopted as my brother on a trip to Mexico) and his wife are expecting their first baby! That was really all I cared about. :) So things are great and my Sach is home! I couldn't be happier!

The Texas Aces (Sach thinks he looks like rat boy!)

Me and Juli

Juli and Carla

OMG!

I just wrote an insanely long blog and it just disappeared! I can't remember what all I had written but I'll try.....
I spoke to my friend Wes from Seattle, WA today. He and his wife are expecting their first baby in December. They should be finding out the sex in the next couple of weeks. She's already 17 weeks. That is so exciting and I'm so happy for them. They will be the best parents. They both have great personalities and love to laugh. I got to hang with my favorite boys the other day, Kelton(aka Superman) and Gage. They are getting so big! When I told Kelton he couldn't get any older, he said "but I want to be grown up." He's so cute. Gage was precious too, such a flirt. I remember when Kelton was that age. I love them!
My house has been quiet since Sach has been gone. His team has tied 2 games and won one. They played the US Women's Hardball Hockey team in a warm up game and beat them. They're playing a women's team from WA tomorrow and he says they are like machines. He doesn't see them winning that one. :) I try to tell him girls are always better but he just doesn't believe me :) It looks as though everyone had a great 4th. I floated the river in Christoval with some friends and watched the fireworks at the lake. It was pretty fun. I got to be the DD as always but at least I knew my friends were safe. I can't wait for Sach to come home!

Life in the real world....

Work....home......sleep......work.....home....sleep....etc., etc. This is how life in the real world works. I cherish my days off. Soon my schedule will be better but for now it's an everyday process. Sach isn't a big fan either. Not a whole lot of "Chels-n-Sach" time. He left for his hockey trip yesterday :( He's in Dallas for now then off to New York tomorrow. I was pretty bummed last night and how quiet my house was. But as the night went on it got better.
In my quest to end my boredom, I opened my computer only to find a note that read "I love you. PS: Get off the computer!" Sach always hates how long I can stay on the computer. Some might say I'm a bit addicted! But the surprises didn't stop there. As I was getting ready for bed, I opened my bathroom cabinet to find another note that said I was beautiful. Yeah, he's pretty sweet! but don't tell him I told ya.:) This morning I found 3 more notes to boost my mood. I am usually the one leaving notes in his bags on his hockey trips. I woke up too late the morning he left to sneak any in and I felt terrible about it. He even woke up and dug through his bag lookin for notes. I think I've spoiled him a bit. I never thought in a million years that there would be one person in the world I could care for and love so much that nothing else mattered. In my old world, everything else mattered. I'm happy to say that Sach has changed me for the better. I've never been happier! I have the life I've always wanted, a man who loves me unconditionally and that's all that matters. :) So for now, I'll deal with the slave drive some call work, it'll pay off in the end.

Officially an RN

I am official!!!!!!! I now have "RN" after my name :) I told my dad how to look it up on the Texas board of nurses website and he saved a copy to his computer! hahaha He's such a dork but I'm blessed to have parents who love me and praise my achievements! Work is going well and I got my new name tag today. Silly...but I was real excited :) I still haven't done too much, just training. The ER has a new computer system that is AWESOME! No more writing on paper :) Technology is fantastic. Everyone I work with is great and my boss is awesome! I really lucked out! I'm thinking about not going back to school till next year so I can enjoy my life and my boyfriend and save some money so we can move!! I'm worried I might not go back if I stop now but I've done it before so I can do it again, right? I hope so.

So, I've decided my blogs are totally boring. I read everyone else's and it's all about their kids and family! Your lives are WAY more exciting than mine! I can't wait to have kiddos and be married to my Sach (aka Unkle Ach, Handbag, S.A.). He's pretty fantastic. He's been upset lately cause I go to bed so early we don't spend alot of time together. :( He leaves for New York next week for the national hockey tournament. He'll be gone for 11 days! I'm already dreading it! I took this great pic of him as we enjoyed our celebratory beer for me finishing my test! I definitely needed one after that thing! I think it captures him perfectly :)

And people wonder why we are perfect for each other! :)
