Amazing Weather, Studying, and Evy's First Vet Appointment

This week we have had some amazing weather! Sometimes I absolutely LOVE living in Arizona.





Monday I spent a majority of the day cleaning, studying, and then spending time with Lando outside. I have only taken Evy out one time and she was small enough to slide out of her harness. So until she gets a little bigger she will be staying inside for now. For supper I made Chinese food. That means brown rice, steamed veggies, vegetable spring rolls, and some orange chicken for Jake. I was going to make some orange tofu but I couldn't find a block of tofu anywhere in the fridge.








Tuesday was Evy's first vet appointment! We had a wellness check up and then we had a blood draw and had her tested for FIV/FeLV. She did so well at the vet. Lando normally hisses and growls at everyone but Evy just meowed and purred the whole time it was nice not having to worry about her biting anyone. After we got back Evy went into her hiding spot under the stairs and Lando wanted to go outside. The weather was so nice I couldn't say no. After spending some time outside Jake and I went on a date. We went to Ross, Walmart, and finished up the date by eating at Chili's. Then we came back home and cranked the A/C for Jake. He sleeps during the day because he works night shifts and since it gets so hot upstairs during the day the A/C is a necessity for him to get a good night's (or day's) rest.







 It gets quite cold downstairs with the A/C on so I spent the majority of the day outside. Lando came out with me for a bit and rolled around in the dirt. I gave him a baby wipe bath later.





Later that night I was so tired from working out I fell asleep on the couch with dinner in the oven! I woke up to some very burned chicken so instead of a nice home cooked meal for his lunch, Jake got PB&J sandwiches. I managed to make his sandwiches, brew his green tea, and make him iced coffee in a matter of 10 minutes. I was pretty proud of myself.






Wednesday morning I woke up and ran my errands. I picked up my books for school from staples. If you're doing the vet assistant or technician program through Penn Foster I would highly recommend printing your study guides out through them. Getting them done on black and white, with a clear front cover, and a black back cover they usually come out to around $10 sometimes even less. They've really helped me study and retain the information. Then I headed to Walmart to pick up some groceries we needed for the house, and lastly I stopped by the post office to drop off a package.





When I got home I put everything away and went outside with Lando to study. I took a little break and made some Chinese food for lunch. I had brown rice with orange sauce, steamed vegetables, lo mein noodles with cashew sauce, and vegetable spring rolls. It was delicious and so filling.





I was excited to run out to my mail box to get my new Dollar Shave Club box! This month I had them through in a face moisturizer with spf so I can use it on the cruise I'm going on next month.

Jake hasn't been feeling well all week and last night he started to really feel ill so he called into work. We had some burritos from an amazing restaurant in town and laid in bed watching Supernatural. I made sure he drank plenty of fluids and got plenty of rest.




Thursday I spent most of the day studying and preparing for me to take the Emergency Care exam tomorrow. The exams are open book but I try to avoid using my book as much as possible. I also cleaned up the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and started to massive amount of laundry that needs to be done. I don't know how two people can go through so many dishes and clothes. 😊

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
