School, Booking a cruise, and Orange Sauce Recipe

So I woke up Monday morning with awful back pain. I think I pulled a few muscles putting the tree away. I had to lean at really awkward angles to take the tree apart plus it's very heavy. So I decided it would be best to rest and not irritate my back. I focused on doing school and didn't go running or do weights.

Tuesday my back felt great again so I decided to go for a run. That probably wasn't a good idea because my back was aching again that night.

The view was amazing though.

Wednesday Jake and I decided to book a cruise!!!!! My parents will also be coming with us.

It is for seven days and we will be going to Mexico! I'm so excited to have margaritas on the beach again.

Thursday my back still wasn't feeling great so I focused on school. Lando decided to keep me company.

Jake is swapping to a different shift so Friday I moved my school stuff to the guest bedroom so I wouldn't wake him up during the day.

Lando was keeping me company again.

Later he moved to the bed and fell asleep holding his favorite toy. Isn't he the sweetest?

For supper I decided to make Chinese!

I made some lo mein noodles with cashew sauce, some vegetable spring rolls, and brown rice. I also made some homemade orange sauce! My orange sauce is super easy to make and tastes delicious. Plus its only three ingredients! I can't take credit for it though because I found it on pinterest.

1 cup of sweet orange marmalade

1 cup of BBQ sauce

2 Tablespoons of soy sauce

Heat on medium until it all melts together, stirring consistently. Don't let it burn.

Let sit on low-low/medium for 20 minutes while stirring constantly.

Externship Update

It has been a little over a month since I started my externship! I have learned so much in the last 5 weeks and I'm excited to learn so much more. I really hope I get hired at my externship site. They have been hinting at hiring me and a few things have been said but nothing official has been said yet. If I don't get hired there I'm still thankful for the opportunity and am sure I'll get hired somewhere in the area. Since the externship started I have progressed more than I thought I would. Things I didn't think I'd be doing right now but am: *sending out samples for results *doing some callbacks to see how patients are doing *taking a client and patient to a room and then getting a history and TPR on my own *drawing blood *monitoring in patients and patients coming out of surgery I still have more ways to go but I am really proud of all my accomplishments so far. I will be publishing an official post once I'm done with my results but I just wanted

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis

Arizona 2.0

Since I've last posted there have been a few major changes and events that have happened. I have vacationed in the Bahamas, we have moved to Arizona, have bought a house, and have donated my hair. I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but now here I am watching Rome, drinking some cranberry juice, and typing on my laptop. Jake got a position in Southern Arizona as a contractor so we moved here and decided to buy a house. We looked at houses online for about a month before we found this one. It had everything we wanted in a house which was difficult to find. We did a virtual tour before deciding to put down an offer. It was accepted! Then we flew out to Arizona to walk through the home twice before going back to Tennessee and packing up all our stuff. After three days and both mine and Jake's cars breaking down in Texas we finally made it to Arizona. We lived out of a hotel for about a month. Because we were staying there so long, we received a special ra
