Drove In Traffic Today

So today was the day. Since both me and Paul had the day off i decided it was time to take another lesson with driving stick shift. I pulled it out of our apartment complex and went into our church parking lot just down the street. Once we were there i had some practice with starting in first gear and shifting to second gear, as well as practicing going into reverse. Then i took the car a few times around the block now yes i have done this all before but each time i get a little more confident with it. So tonight we went to Paul's aunt and uncles house and watched a movie until ten. So as we were leaving i was thinking to myself, " Hey its late not so many people will be out especially on Lindsay road." So i asked Paul for the keys and i drove us home, it was only about a mile and a half but i had to go through a traffic light and make a left hand turn. So no stalling until dang it i got stuck at our gate some stupid person was there for like ever and i was in such a rush to beat the gate i stalled for the first time since like my first time learning stick. But i think i did a pretty good job over all, got into fourth gear no prob.

Paul Is Home!

So Paul got home last night and wow I was so happy to open the door and see my amazing husband sitting on the couch looking up at me! This past weekend was the first we have spent apart since we have been married. Paul took a couple of pics on his trip but none have him in them, I was like what??? But I will be posting those pics on here soon. 

This Week

So this week has been a very long week for me. I had sunday off which was so nice just getting to actually be at home for a change with Paul and get to celebrate my mom's birthday with my family. Starting monday through thursday I worked twelve hour shifts and then last night I was very ambitious and worked a 16 hour shift. Today being saturday I am working yet another twelve hour shift. So day six last day of the work week I have worked a total of 76 hours in one week! And ha guess what not by my choice but me working at a hospital that runs 24/7 I get to work a twelve hour shift tommorow giving me a grand total of 88 hours in one week! Man I cannot wait till monday and have a day off. Oh and one other thing to add to my not so fun week, Paul has been camping with his buds since Friday morning and does not come back until sunday afternoon real fair huh? No I know he needed a break to just to bad I did not just get to have a weekend of fun myself.

My Over Time

So update on the over time i got this week, well i am a little mad i only got just over 60 hours. I was not needed as much as i hoped to be. Our patient census has gone down alot lately, guess kids aren't getting as sick. But next week i am giving it another go for lots of over time.

Working A Lot

So this week i am going to try and work 92hrs! I am gonna be so tired but if i do it, the check is gonna be freaking amazing!

31 Years

Today is Paul's parents 31st wedding anniversary! What a great day to celebrate, i am very greatful they have had such a wonderful marriage and brought up such a wonderful man that i have been able to be sealed too. They are wonderful people and i love them dearly and I wish them many more years of happiness together!

Shots Of Jenna

So my sister Caroline, who took Paul and my family pictures got some secret shots of just me. They are profile shots and she loved them. I was not really convinced, I am not really a fan of single pictures of me. I even have a hard time with pictures of me period. Well she wrote me a comment on here complimenting the pictures that are already up but was dissapointed because she had already seen the pictures of me and Paul together and asked me to put up the pictures of just me, so since I love my sister so much i will go ahead and post them. This is for you Caro.

The Restoration

Before me and paul even met one another Paul had bought a 1970 beatle bug from a friends friend. This bug needed quite alot of work, especially since Paul had a certain vision for the car in mind. Paul rebuilt this car from inside to out, he even rebuilt the engine. Paul went to school and got his associates at Universal technical institute (UTI), and it was this training that helps him with this restoration. He put his heart and soul as well as physical strength into this project. He was at one point going to work at 6:30 getting off at 3 working on the bug till 8 and going to school from 8:30 to midnight. From what he told me when he would work on this bug the hours would pass with him not noticing one bit. He told me about one experience that made him madder then he has ever been in his life. He has wanted to start the paint job on the bug and had gone to a paint store and talked to an employee and explained the project he was doing. He asked them specifically if he needed to primer paint before he painted and they told him no he should be fine. Well as some of you may know what a pain it is so sand something down, Paul had already sanded the car down for weeks and weeks well he put this first coat of paint down and the next day a piece was flaking off. Well he went back and they then told him he needed the primer paint. He had to sand it all down once again, he was so mad. Paul finished the bug in July of 2006 three months before we met.He named his bug Gus. He bought our Mazda 3 in August of 2006. Personally the mazda is my favorite but i am very proud of Paul for the work and knowledge he has in building a car!

Paul's New Love

This is Paul's new found love. He could sit and play all day no eating and be in heaven.

All The Hair Gone

So I said Paul shaved his head last night right after we got home i just thought i would share with you all really what a difference there is. It makes me sad. I still love him just the same, but he kinda looks scary. He is loving it says his head is less hot and not bugging him so i guess if he is happy.
