So I was looking through pictures and found these =) I thought they were adorable..

Also! I have yet another job interview at the developmental Center! this time for a specific house. At this place there are four house each with 16 residents.. You usually get assigned to one house. But I thought I was just going to be an on call person, meaning I would work all the houses whenever needed. But maybe this means something else! =D We'll have to wait and see!!

So.... my Job interview went great!! I have another one with the same company this Monday!! :) This time they are taking me on a tour of the place which is very exciting :) I'll keep everyone posted!
here are some pics Shane wanted me to share with everyone! and he really wants everyone to see the video.. hoesntly you can hardly tell what they guy says.. i think it was the guy taking the video.. cuz It wasn't shane. :)
so enjoy, once again :)

THE VIDEO

So I posted the video... but realized there was a bit of language at the end.... you can hardly tell what they say.. but I didn't wanna offend people!!
Sorry!

More randomness

Well, to start off. My Job Interview went very well! There are a lot more steps in the hiring process though. I am getting set up for another interview to take a tour of the facility. And then they have back ground checks... drug tests... and a physical I need to g through before I am eligible to hire. So She said I wouldn't probably have Orientation till December.. And then I leave two weeks later. She did say me leaving would not be an issue because they don't have real positions open. I would be on call.
So seeing as I am bored, and could use some cash.. :) I am going to the mall today and gonna try and get a job.. haha :) even if it is just for a month. :)
Anyhoo! Shane is doing good! I have some pictures and a video to share with everyone :) The video is typical Shane.. bored on the plane and dancing haha
enjoy!!

It's been a while!

Hey Everyone, sorry for the pause in the blog! These past few weeks have been busy.
So here's the catch up!!

Since I got my CNA license, I have still had no luck in finding a job. None of the hospitals around here are hiring CNAs right now. Which is a real bummer because I am really trying to stay busy while Shane is gone.
Which leads me into.... Shane left for Iraq last Saturday (25, i believe) He made it there safely and is trying to adapt to the lifestyle of sleeping during the day and working at night. I can't say too much more about him, mostly cuz I don't know much more!! :)
He's been able to call me twice so far, and he said he'd try and call me tonight but i dunno if it'll happen :) I'll keep my fingers crossed!!
Other than that really not much more as been going on! It's starting to cool off here. Gets down to 30 degrees at night!!!
While shanes gone, I've been hanging out with a Church family a lot! A family that Shane hung out with a lot before I got here. :) They are the sweetest family in the world, and are takin good care of me :)

OH! I bought my tickets to come back to CA! I'll be there the afternoon of Dec 17th!! And I'll leave Jan. 5th EAAARRLLY in the morning :)
Oh and I have Shanes address! If anyone wants it e-mail me or call me and I'll get it to you. I don't wanna put in on the internet where other ppl can see it so give me a call :)
I'll try to keep this updated more often!!!
See everyone soon!!

TWO WORDS

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!

Thats right everyone! I passed my CNA exam!!!! i am beyond words :) It was nerve raking and I know it wasn't possible without the prayers of EVERYONE!! :)
gahhhhhhhh i am so excited :)

PLUS
Shane got an exellent flight in last week. It was justt what he needed to boost his nerves :) He did amazing on his flight and shot so much it was like they were in war :)

thanks for all the prayers everyone!!

Nerves!

Sorry its been so long!

well... Ive got lots to say so lets start with the oldest that ive been saying i'll post... PICTURES! we redid our house and it looks SOOO much better



So theres our house.....
Heres my tattoo :)


I think thats all the pictures I got for ya :)
NOW some chit chat :)
The nerves are starting to set in for both shane and me! Shane is now realizing how soon he leaves and is nervous because he is like the only "new kid" on his flight crew. I know he'll be awesome, hes just got the butterflies :) He found out that he will be stationed in iraq. Don't know the address yet or how we'll be able to stay in contact with him, but I will for sure give everyone that info.
As for my nerves....ive had TONS of school this week and next week. I had a huge take home history test (hardest ive ever had) due yesterday, i had a micro test today, and two papers due next week. and NOW another thing has been added on.... BUT we gotta start from the begining for this one :)
SO we we all know i need a job and have had NOOOOOO luck. well I've figured it out. Last semester I took my CNA exam and failed by one point and I was COMPLETELY bummed out and kinda gave up on it. Well, the other day Shane and I went into the hospital to look for random jobs and they said they really need CNAs SO I applied for my test out here! I did that last week and still haven't heard from them, however, I caleld them yesterday and they said.. "oh yeah your test is OCT. 8th" haha wow.. SOO i am excited but totally nervous. It seems God is making me suck up my previous "failure" and keep going! I am very excited to start working in a hospital :)
anyhooooo.. Life out here is amazing, the weather is kinda starting to cool down and I can't wait for winter!! Its not humid anymore which is awesome :)
WELL THEN. i will keep ya posted on how everything turns out!!!

life in the Military

So as most of you have heard, I'm sure. Shanes deployment date was majorly moved up! Instead of leaving February he now leaves next month! I believe the actual date is October 28, but i'm not certain. It's a total bummer, he won't be able to come out for Christmas or Matty's wedding which he was really looking forward to. :( It's even worse because he is supposed to be back January 5th!! two days after the wedding!!! so close!! But there's nothing we can do, thats the life of the military! You never know when it can change! :)
So keep him in your prayers, hes pretty nervous! Hes only been out of school for a month and they usually give them a few months to get used to it and to in process and out process. But Shane did that very quickly. His commander even recognized how fast he works and said he was looking forward to having him. So again, prayers are good :) And for me too, I have friends and a Church family that I know will take good care of me, but still....
On another thought. I am STILL searching for a job! I have found nowhere to hire me!! I'm applying everywhere! From restaurants to hotel front desk jobs! I've even gone to the mall and applied all around the shops! I have not heard back from a single one! I really wanna get a job before Shane leaves to keep me busy! So keep that in your prayers too!!
For some GOOD news! I went to the RN counselor and found out Im taking WAY to many classes! haha another lady put me on track for my AA emphasizing nursing, where all i really need to right is my AS RN :) So instead of having a fulll semester in spring and doing summer classes. I only have 3 classes left :) AND if I keep my GPA up I have ALL 100 points to get into the program! The college does the nuring program by a point system and they take 54 students so lets pray there aren't wayyy over 54 students with 100 points or else it jsut goes to a lotery!
I'm very excited! if everything goes well, this time next year I'll be in the Nursing program!!
Well, I'm off to microbiology now! (I just had a test and I got a B! woohoo, its way easier than A and P so I know I can get better :))

Sorry this has taken so long!!!!
here are some pictures of the storm! I don't think the pictures do the waves justice but oh well!!
The storm really wasn't bad at all, just a lot of wind and rain for us!


As you can see the waves started breaking a LONG way back and just kept going. it was really cool, and REEAALLY windy, allmost knocked me over once!
This is where we normally play volley ball.. oops hehe the water actually at one point went all teh way up to the reastruant that are just out of this picture.

I wanted to walk on the pier but i didn't have cash with me :( At some points the water would crash and splash up onto the pier
So those didn't do much justice... I'll try a video
