Autumn is tired.

This is the first night in our new place in Houston, Texas. We spent 2. 5 days driving and slept at several cheap hotel for 5 nights. It took 2 days to find a place to live. So stressful. I couldn't believe some of the houses we checked out. Yuck! We didn't move our things inside the first night, we waited until the next day when we had help. We slept on a partially inflated air bed. It was a very very long night. I guess all the going and going was catching up to Autumn.

Last Couple of Days at Work






I have worked at Southwest Medical Urgent Care for 5 years. I started as a nurse apprentice and when I graduated a year later I was hired as a staff nurse. I have so many stories of the experiances I've had with these wonderful nurses. They have taught me so much. So many different personalities to have a blast with. We had so many pot-luck feasts. YUM! We would laugh so hard with each other all day long. Patient's enjoyed the team work atmosphere that they witnessed at urgent care. I am sure I will never forget the knowledge, friendships, experiances I was lucky enough to obtained while working with this team! Thanks SMA!

Family Pictures

My dog is funny. I guess she likes our new family picture. Thanks Autumn!


Lake Mead

Jarom and I rented a wave runner before we left Las Vegas. The weather was so nice. I had never been on one before and we concluded that it was time! I loved it! He let me do most of the driving. I got the speed up 50mph. We rode for about 6 hours. Because I am so pale I wore a long sleeve shirt and a hat the whole time (not cute) . My legs where exposed with lots of sunblock. After 6 hours in direct sun, no evidience of a burn. I think I did pretty good.




Every time Jarom drove he wanted to ride it fast and then turn really hard. I hated this. I didn't want to be thrown off. I also didn't want to ruin the thrill he was seeking. So I convinced him to drop me off on the shore so he could ride however he wanted. He didn't last 2 min. riding the wave runner. It was funny. I did have valid fears. Earlier Jarom did convince me to jump off of the wave runner going 25 mile/hour. We both did it at the same time. That hurt!

San Diego Zoo







This is at the San Diego Zoo. The elephants get pedicures often. They use some heavy duty tools! Elephants where my favorite this year.
I think Jarom's favorite animal is the monkey...until it flung some questionable liquid towards him. It wasn't raining that day either. I think he kept looking up hoping to see a little black rain cloud...nothing but sun.

The Weirdest Funniest Situation!



So the family went on a boat excursion because Jarom loves the ocean. On the way back we noticed a bird was following the boat. Jarom's dad Jay had an apple and started biting off pieces and throwing them to the birds. This one bird would catch it too. Then all these people started to oooh and awwwe over the scene. One tourist, who barley spoke english, asked for a piece to throw to the bird. So...by the same means, Jay bit a piece off, pulled it out of his mouth, and gently handed it to they guy. He hesitantly accepted. I am pretty sure when he asked for some apple he did not mean directly from Jay's mouth. I could not stop laughing. Hands down the funnies thing we have seen Jay do.

Driving back from San Diego

Jarom likes his reeses to be as cold as possible. So gross... I could see the oil spillage in his coke when he pulled it out.

The things we do to entertain ourselves on road trips.
