Annie has finally moved in! This has been her 1st week here, and it has been full of trips to the movies, watching our favorite TV shows, and dinners out with the guys. Annie also has a new best friend. His name is Keb, and he is my chocolate labradoodle. It's pretty hilarious to see Keb laying with his furry arm around her.
I know this picture is ridiculous, but I just had to add it. I NEVER put clothes on the dogs, but this was a shirt of Matteo's that I shrunk with my wonderful laundering skills. Don't worry; It was only on long enough to get a picture.
This past weekend I was off work, and I wanted to take full advantage of it. Matteo and I went on a hike on Buffalo Mountain Saturday morning. It was so nice to go outside and get some fresh air.
Another exciting visit this week was from Jiffy!! She got to come back to Johnson City for a camping trip with the Olivers. Unfortunately, it rained on Saturday so the ground was all wet and mushy and it would have been impossible to start a fire. We had to revert to Plan B... The Drive-In!! Always a great option. We got to see GI Joe at the State Line drive-in. It was such a fun night, and I am hoping Jiffy will come back again soon from Knox Vegas.
Now as for the working life...
I am now well into my 4th week of my transition from college into the real world with a little process called "business college" for the company I am working for. It has been lots of fun so far. I am getting to meet lots of new people and cram as much information as I can absorb into a 6 week time frame. It is challenging me to work at a high speed, take on many responsibilities, and be able to create a work/ life balance. It is so exciting to invest in my own career and see that all that hard work from college actually is paying off.
Matteo is finally getting to work in the hospital, and he is loving it! No more boring classroom. He comes home every night with a new story to tell about some crazy procedure he has seen that day. It is some very long days, but he is getting to see so many fascinating things and experience what it's like to actually participate in the hospital. Right now he is in his surgery rotation at the VA and Johnson City Medical Center. I think he would have gone crazy if there was another year of school and tests. I am very interested to see what he likes best and where he will end up!
