Bye Bye San Diego

Hi everyone! Hope everybody is having a good Monday! This is going to be my last blog post for a few weeks, because with moving/being in Minnesota I don't think I'll have time. I'll be sure to start back up again once we're settled and unpacked in Great Lakes and update you on life there!

Our time in San Diego has come to an end. It was a fast and crazy 7 months here! But both Andy and I have agreed that we are ready to move and start up somewhere new! We are so blessed to have had the chance to live in this wonderful city. I encourage all of you to make sure you visit here at least once in your life! But we won't miss the San Diego traffic, gas prices, construction, parking and how much it costs to live here. As a young newlywed couple, it will be nice to be in a city a little more affordable for us, so we can really starting saving more money! :)

The movers come in 3 days and we'll be gone in 4! CRAZY! This week just consists of prepping things to be packed, prepping the car and cancelling utilities and such. We're be on the road to Illinois by the afternoon on Friday! We are also SO excited to have some time to visit home from around the 27th-8th, woohoo (I cannot wait to get a caribou and eat at Paninos...seriously)! A portion of that will be spent up on the north shore on MN as our belated honeymoon. It'll be so nice to have some time away from life and just spend time us two, we think we deserve it ;)

Andy takes the ASCP on Thursday, which is the certification test to be a medical lab technician in the civilian world. It's an intense test (they even have cameras pointed on you the whole time) and I have faith that my super smart hubby will pass easily! Passing the exam is just a bonus to already working as a lab tech for the Navy, his year of hard work learning & studying is enough to work for the Navy. If he passes, he could then (if he wanted to) get a side job at a civilian hospital or clinic doing lab work as well! If you could all keep him in your thoughts on Thursday and send lots of positive energy, prayers or whatever you'd like his way, we'd appreciate it!

Lastly, I did go to the doctor on Saturday for my ankle. I thought the sprain was getting better but it actually got bad again last week :( she took X-rays and should be getting back to me today if I need a "boot" to fix a fracture or just some physical therapy for my tendons. We'll see!

Welp, that's all I've got for now folks! I'll be back at this in a few shorts weeks...this time blogging from Illinois! I'll leave you with a couple pictures of the dog of course ;) :

These two were sleepy heads this weekend! (ignore the mess in the background!)

She is so photogenic
