Exciting News...

When Nic's clinic lost their manager about 8 months ago, he took on all of the work she left behind. He has been going in early, occasionally staying late, adding a thousand extra tasks to his already busy day, and working so hard for us. At first, the experience was great for him. He was given so many opportunities to add to his resume - opportunities that he would have never been given without the extra responsibilities. The only catch, his job title remained the same. It got to a point where I felt like they were using him and he deserved better. 

His yearly evaluation was on Friday with his director and I made sure he was going to mention something haha and sure enough he did. There are still a few hoops to jump through before it becomes official (paperwork, new badge, etc.) but I came home on Friday to the Idaho Vein Center's new Clinic Coordinator and I couldn't be more proud of him. With that said, it has been a weekend of celebrating around here!

This amazing weekend and all I have to commemorate the weekend are these cheesy pictures we took in the back of a local pet store! Oh who am I kidding, we ARE cheesy. By the way, who seriously buys tarantulas for a pet? I was terrified when I was 10 feet away from the things let alone if one was camping out on my dresser.

Friday we had dinner at our favorite restaurant (Cafe Rio) and caught up on our weekly shows (Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill). Saturday we cleaned, worked out, and did homework in the morning, bleh, but Saturday  night we decided to keep up with the weekend's cheesy theme and saw Chipwrecked. We may have been the only ones in the theatre without children. We stopped at Winco on the way there and each picked out a candy to take into the movie. My guilty conscience was SO obvious I think Nic was embarrassed to be seen with me. Today I'm feeling like I have the tongue of a cat from those Sour Patch Kids. Better not do that again anytime soon.

Today at church we got to teach the little 3 and 4 year olds. Our lesson ended up being short so we let them play with the toys for a few minutes afterwards. One of the girls eagerly grabbed a steering wheel and turns to me and says, "HEEEY, I'm driving and listening to music!" - "Oh yeah?! What song are you listening to?" - "PAPARAZZI!!"

Nic and I both turn to each other a little concerned at first and then died laughing. Way to go Lady Gaga, you stole the heart of a little 4 year old! Highlight of my day.
