Not excited for work

Being a nurse, you have to work holidays.
Last year I worked New Years, so this year I work Christmas. So I work days Tuesday, then nights on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. But then I have a week off. Still, it's not the funnest thing in the world.
But we make the best of it at work. Lots of food, and we keep it as fun as the patient load will allow.
I would like to remind everyone to travel safe. I would really rather not see any of you at my work. There are always accidents this time of year, so just be careful please.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Too cold for the doggies too.

This is how the dogs feel about the cold. They've been curled up inside all day.

A winter day

We have been having a nasty cold snap in Saskatoon the last week. And it's going to last another week still. So it my makes you not want to leave your house. So today, we are not leaving our house.
It's -32 out, with a wind chill of -41, so we didn't go to church. We didn't walk the dogs. And we've just been doing stuff around the house. Jeff cleaned up his workshop, I cleaned out a few kitchen cupboards. I made apple tea and chocolate cake, got caught up on some phone calls. It's been a nice day to stay inside and stay warm:)

A few days ago we bought a new to us car. We have a 2 door Honda Civic, and with the baby on the way, well that wasn't going to cut it anymore. So we bought a Volvo Station wagon. It's great, it came with winter tires, it has heated leather seats. But no car starter. We bought one but it will be a while before we can install it as we have no garage ourselves. But it's pretty exciting:)

I don't have a picture to post right now, but keep checking back, I'll post one soon:)

Christmas Tree is up

Since we got married, we have started a tradition of buying Christmas ornaments when we travel. So I took some pictures of the ornaments we bought on our trips this year.

We bought this one on our January trip to the Bahama's last year.

This we bought in Cannon Beach Oregon when we were there for Travis and Stacey's wedding.

This one I posted for my brother. We bought it when we lived in Kentucky. It's not new, but my brother thinks it hilarious that we put it on our tree every year:)
