Cause We're Leavin On a Jet Plane.....

It's true, Casey and I will be leaving on a jet plane soon! February 3 to be precise....Destination?.....Hawaii!! We are both very excited, and we don't know when we will back! We hope to go over there and find some jobs and stay a while, or we'll just have a very long vacation! Either way, we are both VERY excited and look forward to the journey ahead. Though we will miss our friends and family, we are excited for our next, crazy, fun move!

Times Fly

This past year sure has flown by! I can't believe it! As most of you know, I graduated in August and Casey graduated with his Bachelors this December in Business Admin with a minor in Spanish and Accounting. Currently, I am still working at Gem City Bone & Joint, I am still learning a great deal, and it has been a great job for me! I still look forward to a time when I can better put my degree to use helping families and communities, but I suppose that will have to wait a while! Casey has been experimenting in different types of jobs, he started a job as a car salesman here in Laramie, however he quickly decided that wasn't a good fit! He has continued his own business, "All Things Repair", and most currently has done some odds and ends at a hotel here. He has been searching for and applying for jobs, but nothing has worked for him quite yet, however, we are still waiting to hear from one, so cross your fingers, I certainly am! Casey has also had the chance to do some ice-fishing, which he has been dying to do the last couple of years again! So he went out a couple of times the last couple of weeks and he actually caught a big rainbow trout (that's what he told me it was!).

So I baked it up for dinner and we had a great feast! However, Casey did have to stop his ice-fishing escapades for a while because of the -30 degree weather we have been having almost this entire week!! So, instead of fishing, he decided to fly to Texas and do some work at his sisters house in Elgin! So he flew there yesterday morning and he will come back next Saturday! So I have decided that I am going to get some fabric and start working on a quilt I have been itching to try to sew while he is gone and enjoy the warmth of the fire!! So to all our family and friends out there...have a superb Saturday, stay warm and we love you!!

This ones for you!

I have decided to get much better at keeping up to date on this blog for my wonderful Grandparents and any other family members that are reading my blog somewhat faithfully or so! To catch up on the most recent events happening in our lives....here it goes:
Casey:

Casey found out that he has two bulged discs in his back so we decided it was best for him to quite his job and work on healing his back. He is also in his last two weeks of his undergraduate degree and he seems decently happy to take a break, however long it may be! He has been doing a lot around the house while he has been off work and it has been wonderful to have three meals a day that I rarely have to cook! It has been great to come home to a clean and warm house too! On top of everything, his back seems to be healing!

I started a new job in October and it has been a good job. I work as a medical assistant at Gem City Bone and Joint here in Laramie. It's definitely not my dream job, but I have learned a lot about backs and necks! I also work with some great women, I never work weekends or nights , and I get Holidays off! So I am very blessed to have such a great job right now!

So Casey and I just got back from Greeley, Colorado where we spent Thanksgiving with some family. We had a fabulous time! We even got up at 4am and went shopping the day after Thanksgiving! That was the first and definitely the last time I will do that, but it sure was fun! During that time Casey also went rock climbing, which is something he has wanted to do for a very long time, so I am really glad he had the opportunity to do that! We came home Sunday and then went to the Mountains to cut down our very first Christmas tree!! It was a great time, we listened to an interview of Casey's great-great-great grandfather (I think) and I got to learn a little more about his family! and for those of you who are wondering how good our Christmas tree turned, here is a picture!



It's great coming home after work and seeing my Christmas tree lit up in our window! It brings a smile to my face every time! And to go along with the Christmas Season, Laramie is doing a light show at the Courthouse building and the lights go along with music that is played on a radio station, so Casey and I went to the kick off tonight, we got some apple cider and some cookies, we went and sat in the car and watched the light show! It was amazing and they are doing it ever night until Jan. 3 so I will get some pictures!

I hope all is well with with everyone this season and I will update again soon!

Job

Well life has been somewhat relaxed and enjoyable for the past two months, but I have been really terrible about writing on this...maybe I'll give this job to Casey...anyway...school has been good for Casey and he still works out by Woodslanding and enjoying....as of tomorrow I will officially be a full-time worker, so that should be fun. Well we hope everyone is doing splendid and maybe I will write on this more....maybe!
