Job, Christmas, Skis

I have officially finished two weeks of work and I even survived. It's definitely a change from having a 4 month vacation, although I learned a lot in the 4 months. So far I love my job. I'm a nurse at an Internal Medicine Clinic and the people I work with are great, (from what I can tell in two weeks :) I am working the same hours as Chris which is really nice, however, he is no longer benefiting from my cooking and cleaning. As of right now I'm still trying to find a balance between working full time and being a housewife...actually I don't think there is a balance so once in a while its mac and cheese for dinner and if we are really fancy we throw in some hot dogs. But all in all I feel really blessed to have found a good job...even if it took a little extra time to find.

Chris and I are fortunate enough to be able to come home for Christmas. Initially I wasn't sure if I would get time off so soon, but my work seemed understanding so we will be flying out Christmas Eve and staying till that Sunday. We are more than excited. I'm not sure how we would have faired having Christmas away from home it will be interesting enough for thanksgiving (any advice on how to cook a turkey?!)

We finally broke down and bought some skis yesterday. With all the places to ski around here we figured they were a good investment. Now all we're waiting for is more snow in the mountains.
I think that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed the short novel!!!
Love,
Chris and Amanda
