A Whirlwind of a Summer

Well here we are in Morton, IL. Looking back on how we got here is all kind of a blur at this point! Everything came together so fast! It seems like just yesterday I was walking across that stage and celebrating my graduation with my family and friends! Now here we are with our two cats and adorable puppy deep in the heart of Illinois. So here are a few pictures of that graduation celebration...

I was so happy to be able to spend the day with my family! I never would be where I am today without this amazing woman! I love you, Mom!

Love him!

What's a celebration without a little photo shoot?

No comment necessary.



My friend Hannah, never would have made it this far without her!

Love these guys!

Soon after graduation I found myself taking the NCLEX and interviewing for nursing jobs in Illinois! Soon after I got hired at OSF St Francis Medical Center in Peoria on a Medical floor! Blake got a job at a Pilot Travel Center in Bloomington shortly after. Then came the house hunt which landed us here in Morton. Soon after came the packing and the moving! Moving from Johnson Creek, Wisconsin to central Illinois was no easy feat! We were lucky and blessed to have Blake's family help us with the trip!

Here's our makeshift moving truck and part of our moving crew!
We eventually made it! Then we decided to have some of Blake's family over for a BBQ. Here are some pictures of the apartments we moved into (picture credit goes to Sue Traman)...




We have a nice porch off the back of our apartment. Because of the huge lake we have behind our building there are ducks and geese galore that love to be fed! Here's a picture of most of the family feeding the ducks!
