What the??!!!!

So.. the holidays are over and wow, what a whirlwind!!! Needless to say, I have slacked off BIG TIME with the whole blogging thing. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's! I will give you a small recap of what the first of the year has brought for the Thorsteds.. Richard started his last semester of school a couple weeks ago and can't wait to be done! Although some of his classes are a drag, he is an instructor in the anatomy lab again this semester and seems to really love it. My idea of fun isn't necessarily hanging out with dead people.. but what can you do? :) He is still in the process of getting into medical school and actually has an interview in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this Friday. (Keep your fingers crossed!) We are still waiting to hear back from other schools, so we will see. As for me, things are going well. I am still working at McKay Dee Hospital as an RN representin' on the night shift.. I have the bags under my eyes to prove it! I really enjoy the people I work with and feel lucky to have learned so much from them. Thanks guys! I also got a gym membership with my sis Emily and have enjoyed working out. Em is a good motivator and it has turned out to be a great way for me to burn off some steam. I am also proud to say I have officially labeled myself as "Queen of the Stairmaster".. still waiting for the results to follow my title :) We have also been up snowboarding this season and hope to go a lot more!! Whether it be the jobs we have or for our little house where we live.. I feel like me and Richard are just so blessed!!! We are excited to see what 2009 brings and can't wait to take you along on our adventures..

p.s. I will attempt to start blogging more.
