So my family and I got back home from our trip to Thailand this past Saturday. It was a bitter sweet feeling. We all really enjoyed ourselves there but Pat and I were ready to come home to our new place (as we have been traveling around this past month). We are really enjoying ourselves in downtown Fullerton. We are still in the process of moving in and decorating our house and are excited for it to be finished. We have been exploring and walking around the city looking at shops and restaurants. The other night, we were walking home when we heard some banging off in the distance. When we looked up, we saw the Disneyland fireworks! We were so excited that we could see them from our street that we stood there and watched them in the middle of the road. It was amazing. Anyways, when things settle down we will definitely be doing more exploring and relaxing.

School just started for me this week. It is the last year of my nursing program--which is exciting but also scary. I feel so safe in school and when I graduate, I will be out in the real world nursing people back to health! I am in my mental health and rehab clinical rotation and I am also taking leadership/management and nursing research. I am a bit nervous for my mental health rotation as I only have a small amount of experience in this field. It will definitely be a busy semester and one step closer to the end. Pat is busy working away at the restaurants and he is interning at UCLA's Fowler Museum on campus. He worked the day after we got back from Thailand at an event in the museum for a well known donator and art collector. He had a great time and is looking forward to more events. He also just got an internship for an exhibition at The Bower's Museum in Santa Ana. He hasn't started there yet but is looking forward to all of the opportunities.

Married life is blissful and I have no complaints what so ever. Every day is a new surprise and I am really enjoying the spontaneous adventures. Waking up next to my husband is one of the greatest feelings in the world. After a long day at work when I walk in the door, I know my honey will be there with a big smile on his face. God is so gracious to bless us with the opportunity of relationships and marriage! Pat and I have been cooking a lot at home together. We have only been to the grocery store once since we have been back but we are becoming very creative with the meals that we are preparing! We have made multiple meals--all different versions of the same ingredients! Once we get settled in with our new home and our new schedules, our kitchen will be the most popular spot in the house as we already have so many recipes that we want to try out.

The new thing that Pat and I are into now (obviously because we just moved into our new, unfurnished place) is home furnishing! We really like the vintage, industrial style decor (at least that's what we have been calling it). We want to incorporate raw materials like wood, metals, etc. while keeping it warm and comfortable. Here are some pictures of inspiration for our home:
Metal night stand from CB2
In the running as a potential coffee table
Love the light fixtures in both of the above pictures
Amazed by this storage piece-- without the teddy bears of course :)
I can't wait to save up and find killer deals to make our house a home. I will add some pictures of our apartment when we have a mostly finished product.

Have a great weekend & keep the families and friends of 911 victims in your prayers!
