One Year in Arizona!

Heute vor genau einem Jahr bin ich nach Arizona gezogen! Ich kann gar nicht glauben, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht. Nun bin ich schon seit 2.5 Jahren in den USA und nach 9 Monaten San Jose,  9 Monaten Sacramento und einem Jahr Phoenix muss ich sagen, dass ich mein Zuhause gefunden habe. Ich liebe es hier und haette ich die Wahl, leben zu koennen wo ich wollte, so wuerde ich dennoch hier bleiben.
Okay, 45 Grad im Sommer sind etwas uebertrieben, aber selbst bei solchen Temperaturen stelle ich mir vor, wie ich im Juli in Deutschland bei 19 Grad und Regen sitzen wuerde und da ist mir die Sonne doch immer noch lieber. Jeder Tag ist fuer mich Urlaub hier und manchmal kann ich mein Glueck gar nicht fassen. Das einzige, was ich hier vermisse, ist der Strand. Das letzte Mal, dass ich am Strand war, war vor sieben Monaten an Thanksgiving in Mexico, ich hoffe, dass wir dieses Jahr wieder mit Katie's Familie hinfahren!
Dieses Wochenende ist Independence Day, was eigentlich bedeutet, dass wir hier einen Feiertag und somit frei haben, nur leider faellt es dieses Jahr auf einen Samstag und somit gibt es in meinem Job keinen extra Tag frei. Wir werden das Wochenende mit Katie's Familie in deren Ferienhaus in Show Low verbringen, was ungefaehr drei Stunden von hier entfernt ist und in den Bergen liegt, von daher wird es wohl um einiges kuehler sein... ich freue mich schon.
Wuensche euch noch eine schoene Woche! Bis bald!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
