Beginning a Blog


We are on the home stretch…. Jared and I will officially be living under one roof, as a married couple, very soon (12 weeks and 2 days to be exact). It has been a long time coming, but I will finally be done with school. Jared is convinced I will be a lifelong student; however, I keep trying to assure him I am looking forward to living a normal life again. For the past 6 years all I have known is writing long papers, studying hours upon hours, and having mini anxiety attacks about not getting 100% on an exam. I am soooo ready to be done! 

Right before Christmas, I found out I got a nurse practitioner position at Ottawa Regional Medical Center. I could not be more excited! It is a wonderful facility with a lot of resources for patients, and not to mention a nice and supportive staff. I will be working days, Monday-Friday, no on-call or weekends! 

Jared continues to work with his Grandpa Peters at Streator Farm Mart (going on 2 years). Their major line is Kubota tractors, but they sell many other types of outdoor power equipment. He really loves learning about running your own business, and hopes to one day take the business over (maybe adding an additional store somewhere!).

We are starting to get the itch of buying a house. We have been looking in the Ottawa area and have found some really nice homes (I have my eye on one in particular). At the earliest, we would not be able to get a house until I start my job June 1st, but it is always exciting to look. Since we are moving over an hour north, I thought having a blog would be a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the blog up-to-date on our future and exciting endeavors!
