Friends, work and HOGS Basketball!!

Happy Wednesday!! I hope y'all are having a great week! This week was my first week of work and it is going wonderful, but more on that later.

This past weekend, we had a lot of fun! We had a very relaxing weekend since it was my last weekend before work. Mitch worked on Saturday, and I had my tennis class in the morning.
Later that day I went shopping. I have always liked dressing up, so I have a good amount of professional clothes for work, but there is something about starting a new job with new clothes!


I also made a little trip to Bath and Body Works! They just put all their new spring scents out so I had to get some soaps and of course candles!
When Mitch got home, we relaxed and caught up on all out tv shows.

Sunday, was a really good day! We went to church and also sunday school! We went to the newly married sunday school class when we first moved here, but thought we might look around at different sunday schools/bible studies. We hadn't found anything and just when Mitch and I were talking about trying it again, we had a friend tell us to come back! So we thought we would try it again and we loved it. We now know more people in the class too. I am really excited to be a part of a good bible study and I am so happy I am finally meeting some people!
After church, we were asked to go to lunch with Ana and Nathan, another couple from our sunday school class. We went to Dink's BBQ and Mitch and I both enjoyed going out with another couple! It was a lot of fun!
After lunch, w spent the majority of our afternoon watching movies and taking a nap. It was raining and overcast, so we couldn't pass up a good nap!
Later that night, we went over to our friends, Jenna and Byran's house for dinner! She made spinach artichoke mac and cheese and it was sooo good! They also had another couple over, Richard and Sam, that just recently got married and are new to the area. After dinner, the boys played video games and us girls sat around and talked! It is so nice to finally be meeting some girls my age! I really enjoyed it! Later that night we played monopoly, which was a lot of fun, but lasted 3 hours!!


Jenna also made mini peanut butter pies for all of us! They were so cute and not to mention delicious!!


Mitch and I both really enjoyed hanging out with other married couples and we look forward to hanging out with them more!

Well Monday was my first day of work!! I had to be there at 7, so it is a very early morning, but I was excited! I spend a lot of the morning learning about the care they provide, such as information on the spine... I have learned more about the spine in a couple hours than in my whole life ha! It was so interesting and they also showed me all the phases of degeneration and how to read it on the x-rays. It is pretty cool and I am really interested in it! It is cool to work with people who have such a passion for what they do.
There wasn't a lot for me to do Monday, so I spend a lot of time filling out paper work, and they are big on every member of the team knowing the patients. So I spend the day getting to know all the patients that came in. A lot of them are kids, so it was a lot of fun! They have so many patients and see sooo many of them in one day, so it is going to take me awhile to remember who they are. Just on Monday, in about a 4 hour period, they saw over 100 patients. It is crazy!
The doctors went on vacation, so the office is closed all this week. I went in for a few hours yesterday, just to get some little things done, but I get to work form home the rest of the week... which is so nice!!
So come Monday, I guess I will officially start!
Some more exciting news about my job is that in March, they are flying me to Denver for a 3 day marketing conference!! I am really excited about this!

Tuesday night, Mitch had another church league b-ball game, which was very interesting! Our team only had the minimum of 5 players and only 2 fans Ha! The other team was huge and literally I think brought their whole church.


 And yes, they were completely covered in blue body paint... it was a little ridiculous! 


And yes, they had a coach and all... they were pretty intense, but they funny thing was our boys beat them!! It was a fun game to watch!

Probably the most exciting news of the night... the HOGS beat Kentucky!! We were given two tickets to the Arkansas vs. Kentucky basketball game tonight and we had nothing else to do, so we thought we would go. We have been keeping up with Arkansas basketball and they are doing horrible this year! We were not expecting to even hang with them, much less win! It was such a fun game and the atmosphere in the arena was crazy!! It was such a close game the whole time and it even went into overtime! I was doing so good this past month on not biting my fingernails, and well now they are all gone. Ha! 



 HOGS win by one!!! 


This is me when we got home from the game!! I was so excited they won!! We are hoping to go to more games this season! 
More exciting news tonight... Mitch's valentines present finally came in!!! It actually came yesterday, but we were not home when it was delivered, so I had to go to the post office today and pick it up.


The first thing he did when we got home was put it on.. and he still has it on!


To say that Mitch was excited would be an understatement! 

Mitch is off tomorrow and I am excited to spend the day with him! We have been busy lately, so  am hoping to just stay in and relax before I officially start work next week! 

Have a wonderful rest of the week and a great weekend!!
