A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. Here is what life has looked like as of late.
Brad started fall semester and got elected as an ADEA representative for his class. Dental School is a very funny thing to witness. Being an outsider looking in at the situation it really just looks like an extension of undergrad sorority and fraternity drama mixed with a whole lot of studying. Interesting mix for sure. You have the ones who study all the time and then you have the ones who just treat it as one big social event.
My friend Haley (from middle school, high school, and college) got married on August 23rd. It was so fun to get to go back and see her and Matt finally tie the knot. Being a part of the wedding and being kind of behind the scenes watching everyone adore the love that those two share was probably the best part. I'm telling you though a lot of work goes into a wedding.
On August 29th, I turned 23. I don't know why but birthdays just don't seem to be the same, they just feel like a normal day. I kind of miss getting all excited about birthdays. I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old. Another sign would be that I was THRILLED to get patio furniture and a free dinner at Panera!
Brad and I got callings at church as the 11 year old scout leaders this past Sunday. Can I just tell you how OVERWHELMED I am. Holy cow. We just sat through our first meeting last night and I feel like I'm in over my head. I didn't grow up with brothers so I know absolutely nothing about the scouting program. It's a good thing I'm married to like the scouting guru. This will definitely be a growing experience for me but I'm excited to learn new things, and secretly I'm hoping that this is a sign I will have some boys in my future! haha.
I have finally started my job as a nanny. So far it has gone super well, I feel so blessed with all the jobs I've had in my life. One of the highlights of this job is that it is only 5 minutes from where Brad goes to school, one of my favorite parts of the day is driving to and from work with him, definitely makes traffic more bearable.
It's been nice to start getting into a routine/schedule. We do SO much better when we are on one (type A personalities over here). We are more productive and happier. I'm looking forward to all the things that fall has to offer!
Pretty soon I'll put up a home tour of our apartment that we are absolutely in love with. It's coming together and I just have about 2-3 more final touches to make! So stay tuned!
