where has the time gone?

Summer is coming to an end and I find myself asking, where in the heck has the time gone? Flagstaff in the summer is unbeatable. We've enjoyed trips to california, walks to the park, evenings spent in the front yard just enjoying the grass and the cool mountain air. Summer 2011 was a success. Daniel will be starting the nursing program on Monday and I couldn't be more excited for him. He will be such a fantastic nurse. His personality is so contagious, people just love him. I am very excited to have my husband as my co worker. Best of luck, Daniel! I'm so proud of you!

In different news, Rushton is now 18months old! I think at this point he is officially considered a toddler which breaks my heart. Where did my baby go? I was looking at photos of him as a newborn today and I am SHOCKED how much he has grown and changed. He talks, runs, climbs, jumps, throws, and, yes, even has the terrible two melt downs. He is such a blessing. Some days, like yesterday for example, being a mother is the HARDEST thing I have ever done. However, tonight when I see him running the sprinklers with the love and the innocence a young child has, my heart melts. I love that crazy little boy of mine.

Work has been steady as of lately which I think is a good thing. I am so grateful to have a job I enjoy during such horrible economic times. I still feel a little silly when people ask when I do and I say I am a nurse. Still hard to believe I guess. I love my job though. Has the right mixture of challenges and successes that I truly feel like I am making a difference in the lives of the women of our community. And their families for that matter. I am so glad I get to work with mommies and babies! I have been sick for 2 weeks though so it has been rough. I have had to call in sick a couple of times which is unfortunate. Apparently I may have bronchitis and an ear infection. I am on antibiotics now so I'll be back soon enough.

I wish I had more pressing things to discuss but I don't. My mom always says that no news is good news so consider this my no news for the month! I hope to have something exciting to share in the months ahead but for now this will have to do! I've missed you fellow bloggers... did you miss me, too?
