In just one month.....

In just one month...many great things are occuring! I just have to think of how fast a month goes, and this makes me grin ear-to-ear!

In exactly one month today:.....
  • Our family will be here!
    • Holy buckets, do I ever miss family! - And I'm so excited for them to come out here! They haven't been here since we've lived in this house, so am looking forward to this. (Wish we could be in a different house....that is owned by us......but that will be coming in the next year. We have to be patient! One life-landmark at a time!)
  • We will be having our graduation party. This will be an excellent fiesta! I am making Mexican food since it's great to make for the masses, I can whip up some killer salsa and shredded chicken (I must say), and it Gluten Free for one of my special guests! (my sister)
  • May 15 marks a very special day in our life........
    • 2 years ago, May 15, 2008; our U-Haul truck pulled into Tucson, AZ to start our lives in the southwest!
    • I cannot believe how fast 2 years went. Sometimes it feels like that happened yesterday.
    • Other times, I feel like a completely different gal was moving to this area! I can't believe how much one can change and grow in such a short period of time!
Things are going well down here - with the excitement of the end being visible. It's funny that I act like the end is so near. Just because I "walk" in my cap & gown on May 1, doesn't really mean much. I get a fake diploma, and don't actually get my REAL diploma/BSN pin until August 20! But, I'm excited to get Ryan back!

Don't get me wrong, I love my alone/serene time. (It's great for studying, and I get to eat whatever I want for supper "Hm...tonight I'll have a salad & toast with ketchup & mustard"). But seeing Ryan for about 20 minutes in the morning, and 1 hour at night kind of stinks!

Well, Happy Friday everyone (for I am sure many are reading this on Friday)! A recipe post of some sort is to come this weekend! So stay tuned.........

I agree on the alone time - it's great once in awhile and even necessary, but not all the time or even more than once a week or so!
I like to make popcorn for my supper if Paul is gone! We are so exicted to come for graduation and to see where you live - pictures just aren't the same! I am excited for hot weather as I know we will only be there a few days!

I am so, so excited!! Can't wait to see Tucson and hang out with you guys! You both have worked so so hard, so you deserve to celebrate! Mexican Fiestas are the best, in my opinion. When i host people, that is probably my #1 choice for what I would serve. Mmmm... Actually, I am heading to the store in a bit to get fixing for taco salad. :)

I like alone time, too, but it needs to be moderation. And i would probably need a whole lot less if I had a someone special to spend my time with. But i do actually like being alone, so that is good since i do end up spending alot of my time alone! I like that I don't have to consider what someone else wants for dinner. And I can eat random breakfasts without someone lookign at me and saying - really? You are going to eat that? LIke when I was at Target and was workign super long days, i had to eat a big breakfast to make ti through the morning & I would often eat Mac and cheese!! I am sure I would get some strange looks if I had a husband! :)

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
