Bursting Bubbles

Hi! I'm Mary, and I'm a Mormon.

I'm also a nurse. I am married to a man name Rhett who works in advertising. It's very exciting. We got married in September of 2014, then immediately moved to Chicago, where Rhett had been working for the past year.

This is an update of my experiences living away from family, being in a new and very big city, making new friends, getting a dog, getting a new job in a new field (I just got a job as a med-surg nurse at a hospital nearby), and the occasional review of new TV shows, movies, books, and other entertainment. Also food. I love food. While we are experiencing Chicago, we have set aside a budget just to try new restaurants every week. It's so hard to choose.

This is my new life. Very much outside of my old comfort zone. Many bubbles have burst. Many trials became insignificant in the light of the new things I was about to face.

Together Rhett and I have started a project, which was his idea. Go to disneymeals.wordpress.com for more info. Every week we watch a Disney animated film and make all of the food featured in it. I have been working as a writer for a cooking software company called DVO, where I've been sharing the experiences of our project. It's been all sorts of fun so far. It perfectly combines our shared love of Disney, and food. Yet one more new thing to add to my pile of experiences.

The blog is really for me. I want to document my life, my adventures, and my thoughts somewhere so they don't disappear in my memory. Being a mormon outside of Utah is a whole new experience. One that has been challenging, and exciting. Being a nurse in a new field and new city is going to be just as challenging and exciting, too. I write from the perspective of someone who has a lot of social anxiety, has experienced moderate depression, adult ADD, and an amazing family with crazy stories.

Stay tuned, if you wish. My thoughts are my own, my opinions will change, and I will learn. I will try to keep the blog updated with such things, mostly for my own benefit, but if you like it too, stellar!

Until next time.

Mary
