Alright, so now that the job hunts and doc visits has been updated on, I will now fill you in on everything else that's been going on since i last posted in Dec. I received my diploma in Jan which was very exciting to see and definitely made graduating feel all official. lol. Also in Jan, i had a 3 year friendship come to end. We had been growing apart for the last 6 months or so, so while not unexpected, it was still sad. Oh, I also forgot to put in my last post from Dec, that on our very first week in our ward as a newly married couple, we were immediately called to be nursery leaders. It wasn't at all a surprise, and of course we said yes, but i wold be lying if i said i was happy at all to have this calling. I am sure God has his reasons and we will learn from this and be blessed, but really all i feel like right now is a glorified babysitter. We got assigned the 18 month olds (and have about 8 of them so far), which is hard because they really aren't old enough to teach a lesson, so the last hour is hard because we move to a classroom with no toys and are expected to keep the kids busy and entertained, which doesn't work at all. Snack time and coloring can only do so much. I decided to start bringing my own toys form now on to give them something to do after coloring time while we wait for church to end and their parents to pick them up. Its also hard because, being shut in the nursery room the whole rest of church after sacrament meeting, I don't get to meet the people of the ward, which, being brand new, would be really nice to be able to do.
Nick and I are loving married life still and can't believe it has already been 3 months. We are both doing well at work and haven't had a single problem with our renters, who are great. They always pay on-time and never have or cause any problems. They are a really nice family. : ) Nick's brother Chris, who had come home in Nov off his mission for hernia surgery, went back out Jan 18 which was great, because he had struggled with deciding if he really wanted to go back out. He has just recently been asked to baptise someone, which really helped him feel great about his decision to go back out. We are all so proud of him! My sister Alli turned 18 in Jan and will be graduating high school this year which is exciting, going on in the fall to play volleyball at the University of Utah. It will be so fun to get to go to her games! Also, my family has planned a trip to Hawaii in April, which I am so excited for! We are going to get to visit Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural center, which will be such a cool experience. I have also finally sorted all my wedding gifts, and returned almost all the ones we don't need, though there are still a few that I'm not sure where they came from. I'm glad to finally have that done though so i don't have to think about it anymore. lol. I also cut my hair to above my shoulders in Jan because it was very damaged and i wanted to give it a chance to re-grow healthier. Haha while i have been enjoying it, i do miss long hair, which i know Nick does too. He has never said anything bad about my short hair, but I know that he likes long hair better. Luckily for him, i always planned to grow it back out after cutting it, since there is more one can do with long hair over short. ; ) Hope everyone is having a great 2011 so far!

Update on the job hunts and Doc visits
Haha wow its been a little while since I last posted. I just got really busy and when i had down time, always had other things that i wanted to do instead, lol. So on the job hunting front, nothing yet... Its very frustrating continually applying to places and never getting the jobs. I have gained more hours at the job i have now (with the possibility for more), which is awesome, but it would still be nice to find something to fill the days I don't work. Have free time Tues, Fri, and Sat is just a bit much for me and I find it hard to always fill the days with productive things. It would be nice to be a bit busier now that i don't have school to do that for me. I am also hoping that I may just eventually be able to work full time at the place I'm at now, which would be my top choice, but until that happens, i will continue to search for another job to fill the void. lol.
On the medical front, the visit to the the Neurologist's office turned up nothing. My MRIs were completely clean of anything big or small in my brain or veins that could be causing my migraines. While that's good news, its also disheartening because I would love to figure out why I get these constant headaches. They simply prescribed me new medication to take, one of which I'm suppose to take twice a day to prevent headaches. I keep searching for answers though, because i don't want to have to take medication for the rest of my life. I also went to an ENT doctor to see if it could be my sinus' but that also came up with nothing. My sinus' are 98% clear and the tiny mucus that is in a few, is not enough to cause headaches and its also not my septum, which is almost 99.9% straight. My next course of action may be to be tested for possible allergies that could cause headaches as a side effect of when i eat or come into contact with it. I have also stopped eating chocolate, because i found out that my maternal grandmother gets migraines when she eats chocolate. I (sadly) have found that it did reduce the number I get a week, though they do still occur at least once a week, instead of 2 or 3 a week. I also discovered that my paternal grandmother got migraines when she was stressed, which probably explains the remaining headaches and means i can to nothing about them but treat them when they come. Hopefully that's not the case and its something else. Though probably not, knowing my luck. At least all these doc visits are narrowing things down. Also, i began t see a chiropractor to reduce the tension in my neck and shoulders, since often when i get headaches, pressure builds in my neck. As i have been in a few car accidents, it was felt this could be a possible antagonist of my migraines as well. Hopefully i eventually figure something out and can get my headaches down to just one a month or so. That would be pure heaven!
