What Happens in San Antonio, Stays in San Antonio

Not really, what happened in San Antonio is what this post is all about! So much happened! A little bit of running, family and friends seeing, Bachelorette partying, and lots of eating (and drinking)!

First of all, I would like to refer back to my previous post. This bill included FOUR adult beverages AND we left completely stuffed. Case and point. Texas is awesome and Chuy's creamy jalapeno ranch dip is forever delicious.
Less than 25 bucks!! Holy cow!!



Lauren drove an hour+ to hang for a few!

After Chuy's we finally got on our way to San Antonio.  We checked in to our room at Hotel Valencia and were immediately greeted with chips, salsa, and beer.  Reason #324 why Texas is awesome, and why Megan is awesome since she snagged us the room :)


I just want to take time right now and brag a little.  My friends, I do not workout on vacation. I sleep in, I eat horrible, and I fast when I get back home.  Such is the ugly cycle of R&R for me. NOT THIS TRIP! Well, I still ate horribly BUT I ran.  Not just a measly little baby run, but a 6 miler! AND I beat my time. I started this run with a different game plan.  I walked every mile until my heart rate got down to 120 then I ran again.  Not only was the run less painful but I was able to run faster and only got a mild headache after. BAM!

This is definitely the beginning of the run. 
After, my face is beet red and my shirt is drenched. 
Oh and I'm not smiling. I'm usually bent over, huffing and puffing.

So after my run Friday morning Bachelorette festivities took over the whole weekend! I won't indulge too many details because I wouldn't want y'all to be jealous of the time we had. I'll just say a fun time was had by all :)
Me and the Bachelorette! 

Sunday morning we headed to Falls County to spend some time with Ryan's parents, eat some good home cookin', and spend more time with family.

Just in case you're wondering, sometime between late Saturday night, early Sunday morning my last pair of contacts mysteriously disappeared. Yay for having to wear glasses for a whole week.

To conclude the weekend Ryan's parents took us to the airport and we ended up back in San Diego around 10:30 pm exhausted and sick...well, I got sick, not Ryan-apparently airplanes turn mild colds into hardcore sinus infections. Not cool. But soooo worth it!!  Can't wait till November when we come home again!

How To Be a Happy Traveler PART II

Part I was the biggie. Having a positive working experience greatly effects overall satisfaction with travel nursing. In this post I'm going to list a few other things you can do to ensure you have the best possible time seeing the states! HAVE REALISTIC HOUSING EXPECTATIONS You really can't expect to live in luxury housing everywhere you go. In my four assignments I've taken my company's housing 3 times. The first was great! the second was eh, and the third was average. Every apartment we had was safe, clean, and close to the hospital. And to be honest, the second place was probably better than "eh" but the first apartment set high expectations. Those'll get ya. It'll all depends on what city you're in and the cost of living. The cost of living in a "luxury" 2 bedroom apartment in Texas is the same month's rent as a grungy studio in LA (note: we did not live in a grungy studio in LA).

MY FIRST BLOG! EEK!

Oh my gosh y'all it's my first blog!!  I'm so nervous!! What if it's boring?! What if no one reads this!?  If they do, then what if they hate it!?  What if all those grammar nazis call me out on run on sentences and the correct use of there, their, and they're?!  You know what I have to say to you people?  It's probably going happen so I'm just gonna need you to deal with it!...Just kidding, don't hate me please. I've been wanting to start a blog for a while, you know, because I think I'm so interesting the world needs to know what's happening in my life  I think it's a super neat way to get ALL THE THOUGHTS out of my head and it's way better than writing in my anablog aka journal.  (I feel like I've got a lot of run on sentences already...oops...) Also, I can't just sit back and let Ryan have a blog all by himself. I have my own side to our story! From what I've learned from reading and enjoying other blogs, it'

Hello Chi Town!

Image
Ryan and I are officially settled in our new city. We've really lucked out in the weather department so far, I'm hoping it stays that way till January 2nd. Fingers crossed. Everyone here seems to think it's going to get really cold. Haven't they heard about El Nino!? :) Oh. My. Goodness. The move in to Chicago was probably the easiest in my 3 year travel experience. I've started going through a new travel agency and our housing comes fully furnished down to the silverware-without any extra cost to me! If we really wanted to make it easy on ourselves we could've just traveled with our dogs and our suitcases and been just fine. Going with this new company has definitely been a learning curve. I'll cover the pros and cons of large/small travel agencies in another post. I'm definitely likin' the way things are going so far,  but my momma didn't raise no dummy so I'm cautiously optimistic. We spent our first two days here getting to know our a
