Reading my old posts makes me remember how I felt when I first moved to Houston. It seems like it was so long ago! To this date it has been 2 years 1/2 half since we moved to Houston from Miami/Gainesville. My biggest concern from my old post were my job & living situation. I am glad & proud to say that I have been working as a labor & delivery nurse at the the womans hospital of texas for 2 yrs & 3 months. I feel very happy at my job & confidant in my abilities as a RN. I went thru 3 rough months of training in which I felt like maybe L&D wasnt for me bc of the high stress situations I am sometimes put in. But as time went on & Iearned more I finally started to get comfortable with my job. I worked night shift for a while & some nights it was a mission trying to stay awake. The only good thing was that it was usually a lighter work load (on some night) & the girls were young. Like usual it was hard for me to connect & make friends. My only friends were Seyda which I never saw bc we had opposite schedules & Keba which is a great girl which we share similar interest. I now work day shift & switched to PRN for the convenience of schedule & pay ( I now make $36/hr. :) I couldnt be happier with a normal schedule that allows me to work 8 hr. shifts sometimes & less weekend requirements as well as holiday requirements. Bc of th flexibility of my schedule I am currently in Miami for 3 weeks for the holidays (no pay though). We'll that sums up my job stuff pretty much, now onto our living situation.
We moved out of the hotel & into a rental apartment Versailles which I loved. Rent was ~$1000/month. We lived here for 1 yr & a few months till we found our current home at , RiverWalk condos. We bought this 2/1 1st floor condo for ~$108,500. It was a long process for closing on it but it was well worth it bc we r at a great location for my job $ Sergio's school & now we r allowed to have pets! Prince our 4 yr old Yorkie is one of the best blessings we have received. We spoil him so much & treat him like our baby. He's sleeping next to me as I write this.
Sergio & I have been thru a lot these last 2.5 yrs but we r still going strong. We have so many plans for the future as Sergio aspires to become a radiologist. I love this man so much & can never picture myself with any1 else. The only bad thing is that being not married puts a burden on me that affects our relationship. I am trying to be parient but theyre are some days I just cant hide my feelings anymore & feel like if you arent ready by now then what guarantees me you will be in the future. But bc I know Sergio has an excellent character & morals I trust in his word of "It's going to happen" :)
Well so far my stay in Miami has been pleasant. My sis & I thru my parents a surprise 25 yr. wedding anniversary were most of our family came. It was a fun event with just a few hiccups condidering the circumstances. Christmas was today & the best part was seeing my family open presents. I love the excitement if seeing the expression on their face from opening their gift. I feel like I've been eating like a pig like usual around the holidays & will have to do some serious damage control when I get back to Houston. The other hard part of the holidays is feeling like I am spending enough time with all my family & friends. It's def. a balancing act & one that I dislike to do.
We'll it was nice reading my old post & reviving some of those old feelings & times. I am truly excited for 2012 to come & have high expectations for it. I hope I can continue to be as blessed as I am now :)

1st day Of Sergio's MED SCHOOL
We'll for the last few days Sergio and I have been sick with the flu or some type of nasty virus. We finally feel a lot better and thank God it's just in time for Sergio to start his 1st day of Medical School. He was doing some of his assigned readings last night and this small hotel room is problematic for both of us. I want to watch TV and he needs to study. I can't wait for us to move out and have some more room. I really want the best for Sergio and I know how important studying is during medical school. Hopefully our living situation will work it self out soon enough like my job did.
Tommorow I get my job ID and offer letter :) Right after this I am going to go to the bank and see how much I can get pre-approved for on a loan so that if we don't buy anything before August 31st, we'll at least have some more money to buy a nicer place.
I hope that life brings us much joy and happiness as I know we both deserve and need :)

Update
So it's been a while since I posted so I have a lot of updating to do. Where to start?
Ok with the best thing that has been happening so far. I got an interview at the Woman's Hospital of Texas on 7/9/09. I feel that the interview went really well. At the end of the interview I asked when would I be hearing from HR and Paula, one of the nurse managers, told me on Monday. So I am waiting for Monday to get that call saying we would like to offer you a position here. It's like I'm holding my breath till Monday. I am depending on Monday for my whole life career to begin. I am extremely excited and just hope and wish everything goes as planned. On Friday I went to the Galleria mall with Sergio and we were browsing at really expensive stores and I was just imagining my life when I had the luxury to spend some cash on some Gucci sunglasses or really nice and expensive heels. I even felt like splurging this weekend because I feel so confident that I will be able to get this job. I just really pray that it does not bite me in the butt, being so confident.
On Friday I also got a call finally from St. Luke's Hospital to interview. I wasn't really excited but felt a sense of relief that I have a sort of back up in case Woman's Hospital dosen't work. I would most likely choose Woman's Hospital over St. Lukes anyways, unless they had some amazing benefit that Woman's Hospital can't match.
Next on importance list is the Indio's condo. I need to be more patient with these darn negotiations, but sadly patience is not one of my virtues and I need to work on this. I have confidence though that Monday Sergio and I will be able to reach a compromise with the Indio and we will have a nice place to call home.
I am taking my Nclex soon and will be taking it at Miami. I am happy to go home and see my family but I wish Sergio could come because, I love him so much and hate being away from him. I know I will pass the Nclex but that does not mean I won't continue studying.
Sergio has been great like usual. He is always trying to please me and make me happy to be in Texas. I feel lucky to be with him. I love going out to eat and going on our walks and talking. Today we actually walked about 6 miles by doing 2 loops around Rice University. It was cool that we were able to do that much, but we were tired by the end. I think I might of been able to do one more loop if I wasn't hungry. That Jamba Juice smoothie I had before hand was not enough. I was pist to find out that my smoothie had more calories than Sergio's. That was one of the reasons that I got the smallest size to shave off some calories. But Sergio chose from the 180 calorie smoothie and those aren't as yummy anyways. We got the smoothies on BOGO which was a good deal.
Before the smoothie and walk we went to see a small condo that I was like this is not the best for us. At least now we are convinced that the Indios is the best.
After the walk we went for some free samples at Whole Food Market which I love. I was not sure if to eat here or at home. I wanted to eat yummy and healthy and knew it could be done at either places. But we ended up going to Costco, buying a watermelon, and eating at a not healthy place but Sergio's favorite place Pizza Hut. LOL. It was good though, not so much the P'zone at the Panormous personal pizza.
Another thing we did was free Benihanas after my interview Thursday. I had a $30 gift certificate which was awesome. We got yummy drinks, ok food, and yummy dessert. I like Yamato more though.
Let's see what else. Diana and Tri were here for the weekend. It was really fun, we went to a club called Element that was mostly asian. We went to Vietnamese restaurants, shopping, and got a great deal on 2 shirts.
We had a gym membership for 7 days for free. It was good because we exercised everyday. I wish I could get a membership right now to help me get on track for weighloss. I need to lose weight and look better.
Umm ok we'llm Houston continues to be a great success and I love every moment I spend with Sergio.
I love you cute and you are the best boyfriend ever!!!!!!!!!!

More happenings :)
Hey! So these last few days have been very nice and full of blessings.
To begin with, Sergio and I have been having a lot of fun and amazing days exploring Houston. The 1st thing we did was our cupcake adventure. We hit up 2 different cupcake shops in hopes of finding the most delicious cupcakes ever. We went to Crave and SugarBaby cupcakes and realized that Crave wins the cupcake battle over Sugarbaby, but Decor style goes to Sugarbaby. This day was so much fun (& fattening). After the cupcake search we took a "break" and went to Star Pizza which Sergio read about in the forums and was raved as being awesome. So we each got a slice of pizza and some garlic bread. I realized I prefer thinner crust pizza to deep dish pizza which is what we got so I didn't enjoy it as much. I love Brooklyn style pizza and bread bowls from Dominos :) Another day we went to the Yogurt Spot which is like Mochi and enjoyed some yogurt. I really liked the brownie bites they have as toppings. We went 2 days in a row b/c on Friday it was the shops 1 year anniversary and it was .29cents an ounce which was a good deal.
Another blessing we had was meeting the Flores family. They are Sergio's aunt's friends and they invited us out to dinner at Cheddar's casual dining. The food was awesome and this family is super nice. We had a great experience with them. They even helped Sergio go look at the condo we are interested in to see if it was a good buy.
Then the last great thing is that I got a work gig this weekend at Smart Drinks at Reliant Stadium making smoothies and coffees. I worked 14 hours and made about $120. Yeah! I really needed that because I am in a money deficit right now and need some serious flow.
Another fun thing we did was explore Rice University and Herman park. This was a HOT experience but exploring is always cool.
I also did a research study and got $40. YEAH AGAIN! Sergio is in the process of doing his 2nd part of his research study and will finish it tomorrow and get a nice check (in the mail) for $240 :) I am planning on getting my cavity done this week so I can participate in the study as well and my payout will be bigger b/c I am a girl.
Houston is turning out to be a good experience but I just wish I had a job so that we could be more economically free to do w/e it is we want to do. There's so much to see and do here but we can't be spending money so that's a bummer. But I feel that once we have money we will be more free to do more fun things, that don't have to do just with food.
Our diet struggle continues, but food is such a pleasure that it is hard to be happy on a diet. But we are trying :/
This week will entail STUDYING for the Nclex and figuring out the stupid insurance/tag/registration situation. I just want to get that solved so my mom can get the f*** off my back.
On the positive side I have my birthday to look forward to and my possible interview with St. Lukes.
I love you Baby for being so excited to read my blog. MUAH! Thanks for being so amazing and supportive with me. You make me feel complete and thank God for having found you :)

The road trip to Houston
Hello everyone (like anyone is going to really read this... anyways) this is my 1st post. I want to remember my journey to my new life here in Houston.
Sergio,my boyfriend, (and I hope soon-to-be-fiance) moved to Houston June 8th, 2009 from Florida. We began our trip from Gainesville, Florida and drove to Louisiana. In Louisiana we stayed at Sergio's mom's friends house, Martha. She was the biggest sweetheart and made us feel like we were with family. We got our own room in her house with a huge KING bed. The 1st day in Louisiana we decided to explore New Orleans on our own because Martha and her family were going to a wedding. Peter, Martha's son, told us about this Beignet shop that was right by the cathedral. He said it was a big tourist attraction and we decided to check it out. He also warned us about not parking on the streets because our car could get "side swipped". So he recommended we pay for parking, but to still be careful as to where we parked.
We have our GPS which guided us through our trip and used it to get to New Orleand. I drove from Martha's houses to New Orleans , but I could not understand the stupid GPS instructions and kept making circles. AHHHHH was that frustrating! But finally we made it to the heart of N.O. and our initial impression was that the city looked real old and run down. We were kind of surprised and did not understand what all the commotion about this city was. But later that night we soon learned how cool this city really is.
So we looked for parking and choose this garage that looked legit and was like $10. The only weird thing was that they lifted some of the cars (like in repair shops) to allow for more parking. Sergio was a bit concerned but we hoped it would be okay.
We made our way to the Beignet shop and ordered some French donuts. They are basically fried dough with lots of powdered sugar. They were all right and the best part of this place was the silly asian waitress who did not understand a word I was asking her. I wanted to know if the coffee drink they had was like a frappucino and she just kept repeating the name of the coffee drink name. I asked her if there was someone else I could ask like the old guy waiter behind her and she asked him to help her. That waiter blew me off basically with my question and I decided to just try thet coffee drink.
When the waiter came back with our food she immediately said "You pay now" and I was like "How much?" since she didn't even bring a receipt. She added the total in her head and told us it was $10.... I was skeptical about her math so I decided to confirm it by adding the totals in my cellphones calculator. I got a total close to her so I paid her. We then were like "Oh were we suppose to tip her right now or do we leave it on the table?" Sergio said the girl kep looking at him like "Where's my tip?" and she was counting her tip money with a sad face. So after a few minutes I called her over and gave her the tip and asked for a to-go box. She perked up right after she got her money. I guess she thought we weren't going to tip her.
After this we walked over to the Mississippi River and saw the ferry that takes you on a mini tour. We went to the cathedral saw the wedding party but not Martha and her family, took pics, and made our way to Bourbon Street. We were greeted with a breakdancing crew which was really funny and entertaining. I even tipped them because of all there jokes. And as we walked away I even got a shout out from one of the dancers (I think it was to be b/c he sd the shout out was for the girl with the yellow dress and I was wearing one but another girl a few feet behind be was also wearing a yellow dress".
Basically to sum up this night we had a ton of fun at the club Razzers seeing the crazy bar tenders and the drunk ass sluts on stage. Walking the streets at night was so much fun= as there are lights, music, people, and lots of strip clubs. We entered one for a brief minute but I was immediately freaked out when I saw the inside of the club and decided to walk right out. We had a blast and wished we could come back with our friends because we knew we would have a blast.
We decided to head out around 10:30pm to get a quick bite. We put in the GPS a pizza place and when we arrived at our destination we found a new restaurant in its spot. We almost went to Denny's but changed our mind when we saw the time. It was almost 11pm and Martha had told us they would pick us up at this time to take us to their families house. So instead we went to Popeyes and I was dissapoited with my food selection. I don't think I ever want to eat Popeyes after that time.
I was really tired so I asked Sergio if he could tell Martha that we would not go out that night because we were tired. The next morning we had a nice Nica breakfast, hung out, went back to N.O. with Peter, saw him run game to get out of paying for parking, got a Praline (or black people candy like Peter likes to call it) and went to eat at Harbor. Sergio and I tried oysters for the 1st time and we thought they tasted mostly like the cocktail sauce. I ate Gumbo and didn't like it that much. I wished I had got a Po'boy like the day before when we ate here for lunch. The rest of the night consisted of us watching the basketball game.
The next morning we left early to Houston. I was honestly disgusted with all the traffic and construction in the TMC. I think this was due to a long trip that had me tired of being confined to a car. Our 1st stop was Wells Fargo at the Baylor clinic. We then went to check in at our hoter. Value Place at Westchase. We had a minor check in issue but soon made our way to our room and were pleased with what we saw.
The next few day involved going to look at condos with our realtor Ben, going to Baylor so that Sergio could turn in paperwork, going to the Hospitals to ask about GN residency programs,visiting the Galleria mall, trying to get my Texas registration and license plates, inspecting my car, going to Walmart, groceries at Fiesta supermarket(one of my favorite things of Houston so far), eating at Jack in the Box, going to Rice Village (my other fave of Houston), eating at a cool place called Chocolate Bar, eating at an okay Sushi place, going to Holy Ghost church (shocked my all the babies and the food sales after church), going to the park to save on parking, studying for the NCLEX, having GPS fights, sharing lots of intimacy, watching movies from the $1box, going to see the "Hangover" at a really nice theater (except for paying for parking and them keeping my licence),trying to be on a diet b/c quite frankly we need one, wishing we had more cash to enjoy more things like mochi...cupcakes...tacos...yummies, and participating in research studies to make some cash.
Houston has been a good experience so far but I truly hope to get a job soon, purchase our dream condo, and enjoy more of Houston life.
