So Many THHHINGS!

Well folks.  My health took a turn for the worse after my last post. My sinus infection nastiness made its way into my chest and lived there for a week and half!  Not cool.  Then Ryan caught a little bit of it. Ha!

So, I guess really not that many things have happened.  Ryan and I laid around the apartment until I had to go to work and then I worked...and worked...and worked...and ate my weight in candy, cookies, and other sweets.  Thanks Halloween.  Can I just say to all you parents out there, if you don't want your kid to have tons of candy cut 'em off a couple houses short!  Don't bring all that extra candy to work for the poor souls who have no self discipline and will power issues. Geez. That's just not nice.

Really, who can say no to that?!
Before all the sugary yummy nastiness made its way into my mouth hole I slouch-ran my way down 6 miles again.  Naturally, I can never keep moving forward when it comes to anything fitness goal related. I used my illness as an excuse and didn't run a single mile after our San Antonio Six. Do you remember? The amazing 6 miles that felt so good and got me feelin' all confident in my running skills. Yeah, I didn't either by mile 5. This awesome running belt complete with attached water bottles didn't even help. **Thanks again Crystal! I love running with it!**


I put my little energy chewies in the zipper pouch and I'm basically a pro when I wear it...except the one time I ran with it was absolutely horrid. Ha! So I'm hoping next time will be better. Here's a fun fitness blog with a great guest post about running. I'm thinking this little graph from it is absolutely 100% correct.

This is what each run is like, but for me this could also be all my thoughts in just one run. HA! 

In other news, we moved into a new apartment. A traveler friend of mine and her boyfriend are taking an assignment in NY for three months so we figured we'd keep their place nice and cozy for them while they're away. We LOVED living with roommates but when an offer came to live by the beach we kinda jumped on it. It has been my dream to live by the beach and now we finally get to! And this place is too cute and already beachy!

ALOHA!
Right past the bench is like a 30 foot drop to the beach. This is the start of our boardwalk run.

Aaaannnnd...one last thing:
JUST LOOK HOW CUTE PEARL IS.
She was passive aggressively asking for dinner left overs. 
She crawled right out onto Ryan's legs and plopped down. 

I know what you're thinking and
NO YOU CAN'T HAVE HER SHE'S OURS!

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!

Image
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!

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
