Yesterday we managed to kill some time by going to the thrift store where I bought a sweeet letter holder for mail/papers etc and the best iron on decal ever. I can't even tell you how excited I am for this.
Also found this beauty. I almost vomited.
We have also come to the conclusion that our new ward thinks we are inactive. Between moving, general conference, thanksgiving and visiting home, we have been to our new ward very little. The missionaries even called us at 10pm one night to set up a lesson for later on in the week! Anyways, we figured we were about due for a calling (especially if they think we are inactive...we are not!!) So when we walked into church today, a member of the bishopric told us that he would like to meet with us after the meeting. We were again hoping for nursery primary or young men/young womens! No such luck. Turns out the calling was just for me! Not Travis...lucky man! I am now the new ward organist. I think this ward is about to quickly learn how badly this 18 year old can play the organ! But I know the more I do it, the better I will get. So this will be interesting! I should have lied when the first question the bishop asked me when we moved into the ward was "do you happen to play the organ?" I should have known that by saying yes, I was actually volunteering! I will keep you posted on all my organ-lady duties and mishaps.
Other than that...hmm
I have been working full time for the past 2 weeks training at the hospital here! I know, I know. My job sounds disgusting! It totally is, but I totally love it. There aren't very many people willing to scrub bone chunks, greasy fat, blood and other substances out of surgical tools...but I am weird and I love it! It isnt all gross though! I get to wrap all the instruments and make sure everything gets sterilized and labelled properly so that when you go in for a knee surgery, the surgeon isn't opening a rhinoplasty set! I also love all I am learning. I know the names and functions of hundreds of surgical tools! I feel pretty smart being able to know the difference between my kockers, kelleys and criles!
Side note...look at my Cuuuute husband as a child!!
Thats about it! Here are some random shots of us being bored and goofy!

I walked into the thrift store on Saturday and never ever saw it that busy in my life, so I promptly walked out. Apparently there are treasurs to be found! :)
