Valentines, Jazz, and Californ-i-a

Hi Friends and Family! Just wanted to drop in and share some fun pictures and some exciting news!

First of all, for Valentines day Pedro surprised me with a gorgeous necklace and some ear rings, and tickets to the Jazz v. Timberwolves game here in Minneapolis. I always love surprises! Here are some photos from the game!

When Pedro had his beard during December, several people told him he looked like Ricky Rubio.

We were routing for the Jazz, which was interesting to be one of like 5 jazz fans in a full house, but this shot was too amazing not to share. (photo credit: http://www.stephaniehydephotography.com/)

I thought this was a pretty cute shot! (photo credit: http://www.stephaniehydephotography.com/)

This is my friend Steph! She is pretty amazing! These photos are from her artistic eye. Check out her blog at http://www.stephaniehydephotography.com/

The game got a little intense towards the end, but the Jazz pulled through with a win! (photo credit: http://www.stephaniehydephotography.com/)

Now for the exciting news! Pedro accepted an administrative resident position at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital in California for this summer. I could not be more proud of him. He is such a great person and I can't wait for all those hospital administrators in California to see how lucky they are to get to work with him. 

I am now working full-time as a Public Health Nurse for the county and am so grateful to have the increase in hours. However, with full-time status comes giving up my flexible schedule, so we will see what we can work out for the summer on my part. Regardless of whether I am with Pedro the entire summer, part of it, or not at all, we know this is a great opportunity and it is where Pedro should be. I can't wait for him to start working on projects because I enjoy hearing about them to increase my knowledge of the healthcare system and how I can relate to it as a nurse. 

Our time here in Minneapolis has been great! We are very lucky to live where we do and have so many great friends, and opportunities for our future.
