New to this...

Well, I thought it would be a good idea to start a daily or almost daily blog to kind of keep everyone updated on our lives as well as Chris' impending deployment to Iraq early next year. So here goes nothing! Not much is really new in our lives to be quite honest! The newest thing with me is that I took at new position at Mayo where I am part time an RN in our casting center and I am also a circulating nurse in Orthopedic surgery. I just started in the OR a few weeks ago and my orientation will be approximately 6 months. We are coming up on 1 year of marriage next month so that is exciting! Other than that, Chris is getting ready to do another week of training at Camp Ripley. This will be his second of three with the third next month. From what Chris has told me doing these week long training sessions are supposed to take off what would be an extra 6 months of deployment. Don't ask me how 3 weeks is supposed to take the place of 6 months but I will take him being home!! Well it is getting late and since I am battling an icky cold, I should get myself to bed soon. More to come!
