It has been over a year since I posted to my blog. What has happened? More like, what hasn't happened!
The route that Leigh has been waiting 6 years for, opened up at work. We made the hard decision for me to back off to perdiem, and for Leigh to go back fulltime. It has been a blessing, and I have loved it ever since! Leigh is enjoying working fulltime, and having that structure in his life again.
I work perdiem, 20-36 hours per week. I get to pick the shifts I want, and not feel guilty about the shifts that I don't want. It is wonderful to be able to have several days off to spend with family, etc. I am less stressed and have been able to go off that stupid rotten blood pressure pill that I had to start! Glad to be feeling better that way, too! I am planning on going back to school for my bachelors and then my masters in Nursing. I am planning to be a Nursing Instructor several years from now!
Heidi will be entering 6th grade this fall. That's right! 6th! How/When did that happen? She is at the awkward stage of tweenhood. She isn't sure if she is a little girl, or a grownup. It amuses me to see her toggle the two.
Kirsten is entering the 3rd grade. She is growing right up. She will soon be taller than her big sister...I'm thinking her and her dad will be in contest for height! She is still a sweet little girl though...loves her dolls and any little kid that she comes across.
Shane will be starting Kindergarten. He can't wait. I have mixed feelings. I am ready to have some hours to myself, but also, I can't believe my baby will be going to school! Time sure has flown! He is a smart little whippersnapper, too...so his poor teacher will have her challenges!!
The biggest news is that we are building a new house this fall. We outgrew our poor lil doublewide years ago. Leigh and I have worked very hard the past years to get to this point. So, it is wonderful to see the dream coming true. It will be a Cape Cod, 4 bedroom 2 bath home. We are so excited to have a home big enough for not only our family...but for company!! Can't wait to have you visit!!!
