So tomorrow is my first day of work at the hospital. I am really nervous. This is my first big girl job as everyone says and i am so excited to be able to start my career right out of college. I just never thought it would happen so smoothly. I am going to go to target today and buy stuff to decorate my desk. I am also really happy to finally not have to worry about money. It will be great to have extra left over from each paycheck and also to have a 401k and benefits. I am planning on buying colt a ps3 for christmas. They are expensive but i dont have to start paying rent until january first because i dont start working at the hospital full time until dec 16 and i wont get my first full paycheck till a little before jan. So i should have extra money even only working part time because its way more than what i made at nau.
Yesterday when colt and i were at the doggy park he asks if i want to go to the mall and i said for what, and he goes, to look at rings. How exciting is that. So we went to the mall and to Kay jewelers and i looked at engagement rings. God there are a ton to choose from but it was our first outting and im sure there will be plenty more looking before i find one that i love. It was so crazy to help colt pick out a wedding band and see it on his finger. It was a great glimpse of the future. I dont want to get married right now but colt and i have been talking and getting engaged this summer sounds about right to both of us. That way we will have been togther for three years, we will have lived together for over two of them, and we will both financially be in a good spot. My mom is pushing for it so much that every time we go out to eat with her and she sees kids she tells colt how that will be us one day and we need to get a move on it. Colt told his mom and she was excited about it. She already tells people im her daughter in law. Not looking forward to talkin to my dad about it. but i figure we have till summer to start getting him use to the idea.
