He's here!

So this is the first entry. I got inspired by my brother and sister-in-law and alaina to start a blog for Efren and I. I guess it's the easiest way for everyone to keep up and let you know what is going on in our lives and vice versa....so here we are!
After living 16 months in different time zones with different native languages Efren and I are finally together. In some ways it is so weird to do little things together, like going to Target or just driving around town (not that we do that for fun because of gas!), but in other ways it feels like we have been doing it all along. The first couple days has been full of getting him settled and getting wedding things nailed down that he had to be here to do. We did some of our registry which was a weird feeling just thinking about people buying us all these gifts, but it was fun. We also got on a cell phone plan together and opened our bank account in both our names! Wow, the little things.
Work has been going well. It's a TAD bit overwhelming to think that in just a couple days I will be off orientation and in charge of my own patients without another RN to run everything by. Yikes. I feel really comfortable, but I know part of that is because if anything goes wrong or if I have a question I can ask my preceptor and they will know what to do or what the answer is. In a very short time that will not be the case. Lord Jesus help me.....or my patients I guess! Ha! I can't wait til I've been a nurse for about a year or two and I feel like I know exactly what I'm doing. I think, though, that because this is a profession that is always changing I will be constantly learning for the rest of my career. that's ok with me.
So hopefully Efren and I can be consistent on this blogging thing. I think it will be fun!
