The weekend is finally here!

As I mentioned in my first post, I am a nurse. I work night shift at a hospital, for the time being, and I just got done working three nights in a row! 12 hour shifts, three in a row! Needless to say, I am glad to be done for the weekend. When I work so many shifts I don't do much besides: work, sleep, eat and go back to work. I barely see Chad for a couple hours after he gets home from work and before I have to leave. We eat dinner together and try to spend a little time talking but mostly I feel like I haven't seen him in several days after working so much! So tonight is DATE NIGHT, or date weekend, because for the first time since May, we have NO PLANS ALL WEEKEND! We have the weekend to ourselves! I think we will go out to dinner, one of our very favorite things to do. We may go to a few festivals that are in town this weekend, hit up a farmers market in the town we just moved into and mostly just relax and spend some time together! I know Monday will come all too soon, but we are going to try to enjoy our weekend and our time together! :)

Introducing: The Blackburn's

Hi! I have just decided I wanted to start a blog to write about the happenings in our newlywed life. So here it goes...

I am Kristen, a nurse and wife. 

I currently work at a large hospital in the area, however, that will be changing in the next weeks (look for the upcoming post). I love to scrapbook, take walks, watch E!, and hanging out with my best friend, and husband, Chad. 

He is a teacher at a local school and a hopeful future basketball coach. We got married this summer with 200 of our closest friends and family watching. 

We had the most amazing wedding and could not have asked for anything more! We had a blast! 

We went on a honeymoon, immediately after the wedding, (and I mean hours after), to Mayan Riviera, Mexico. Although it rained a lot (Tropical Storm), we had a nice relaxing vacation! Now we are back, to our new home we bought weeks before getting married, and we are trying to figure out how to be grown ups! Look for upcoming posts on our life as newlyweds, homeowners, and family!
