One Month Down, A Lifetime To Go.

I can't believe that I have been married for a whole month already! Man, before I know it, it will be a year. Sorry for being lazy on posting lately, I shouldn't leave my new blog hanging like that. I've just been super exhausted and my heads been on overload from training at my new job. I just come home throw myself under my covers and wait for DH to get home from work and knock out!!!!!! 

I just want to update you all on what's going on with my life. As you might know I started a new job just hours after I returned from my honeymoon but what I haven't mentioned is that it is a dentist office that I am working for. After a week and half or so of working there I spoke to someone that told me about looking into becoming a Dental Hygienist, she told me that it would only take about two years to finish since I already had a bachelors degree and the salary is good. So, right now I am looking to go back to school seeing that Albertus Magnus College ripped me off, bad might I add... 
Don't get me started!!!  

Anyways, I had been contemplating on going back to school for a different degree since I graduated last year but I wasn't really sure what it was I really wanted to do. So, I am giving this a lot of thought and hoping to speak to someone who can help me learn a little more about this field to see if this is something I would enjoy doing for a living. I am excited that I have some sort of direction to look into because I have felt really lost about what my future held for sometime now!

What An Inspiration...

Although, my wedding planning is so over I still continue my daily website checks for inspiration. Today, I came across a beautiful inspiration to reality wedding shoot on Style Me Pretty, that I just had to share. It's amazing that they can turn a pretty inspiration board and translate it into an amazing wedding shoot.  Now I am trying to figure out how I can use this inspiration board for myself... hmm a baby shower sounds like a good idea!
Hope You Enjoy it just as such as I do!
Love...Love...Love

Baby Shower Idea-One


 
Rubber Ducky
No, Not for me... but my sister-in-law is definitely preggo and I am super excited to be planning a baby shower along with my mother and sister. I so miss planning now that my wedding is over, so this will definitely be my "FIX" lol.  Here is my first inspiration, we will need to do something neutral because they are waiting to find out what they are having, but I know for sure I don't just want  to use boring yellows and greens. 
Although, rubber ducks are VERY yellow... but its such a cute idea.

First of many decisions ...

I can't believe that my husband and I will be married for three weeks tomorrow. Married life is great, but not so much has changed yet.  But, I am definitely looking forward to a lifetime with my husband with lots of changes  :).  One thing has changed is my job! I started my new job the day after we got back from our honeymoon, which wasn't such a good idea seeing that I came in around midnight and had nothing ready but I made it! I trained all week long and will possibly be in training for the next two weeks... ugh, I'm not really sure how I feel about that lol... but I must say I did enjoy learning the system and meeting most of the employees and it seems like a great environment to be in and I happy to be apart of there team.

Right now my husband and I are in the process of looking for place to either rent or buy. We are trying to make smart decisions.  Whether buying is a better option then renting and vice versa for us now. The only problem is that my husband job isn't secure and seeing that his job was just something he had to take because of this great economy, he has been looking for a job/better job for almost a year already. I would love for him to find something that fits him and where is appreciated but it is very difficult right now because he is a recent college grad and there aren't many options for him. But, I have faith that everything will fall into place like it always does!
