best hubby ever

So I have the best husband ever... I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I decided to take a nap after church. Joe called me and woke me up from my nap (I didn't even know he wasn't in our apt) and said that he went to get groceries and needed my help bringing them in if I could come downstairs and help him. So I went out to his car, and SURPRISE! he got me a new Schwinn bike! I love it. I had an amazing bike in college and it was stolen, so now I finally have a bike again to ride. We took a couple of bike rides today and are looking forward to finding some new bike paths to ride on :o)

Mom and Dad came to town yesterday and went to the outlet malls with us, for dinner and to church. It was great to see them. Its so nice that they are close enough to buzz in for the evening :o) Its been a good weekend.

Now if only I could sleep, work will come early tomorrow morning!!

the job front and life in general

So i guess i haven't posted on here for a while. Life has been good, just busy as always! I was in my wonderful friend Becca's wedding on my birthday, August 8th, and then this past weekend Joe and I went to starved rock to go hiking for the day and my parents ended up meeting up with us. It was great.

On the job front:

Joe just started his new job about a week and a half ago at ATI physical therapy and is loving it. I'm so happy. He is planning on going back to school for physical therapy and will start applying for schools shortly. On my end, work at Marianjoy Hospital is great, I love it, although its an on call job and I have been wishing I had more hours. Time will tell, I'm just grateful I have something at this point, and am trying to remind myself of how fortunate we are to have jobs at all right now...

John is back at school now and my parents are back to life without children at home. John's girlfriend Kelsey will be going to school in the same town as John, and just moved to school today. Lots of changes! Mom just started inservice for her year and Dad is busy as always at work. :o)

Joe and I have also been looking at other churches in the area. We have LOVED our home church, Springbrook, but are hoping to meet more Christian friends our age. The last 2 weeks we have gone to Harvest Bible in Naperville and have loved it. It is a totally small world. I have run into so many friends from Rockford that are now attending the church and living in the area. Its been great. Fun to catch up with old friends. God knows where is best for us :o)
