We are alive!

Oh my word. Talk about a lack of blogging! Since my last post....ummm in April.....so much has happened! Lets see....May, I graduated with my Masters Degree in Nursing from Allen which was such a good feeling and then two days later we left for a week of sun in Florida with my whole family. It was alot of fun, we went to Sea World, Busch Gardens, Gatorland, and Universal River walk along with lots of swimming and a fun day at the beach. When I got back from Florida I went full time at my current job (hello student loans) and have just been keeping my eyes open for a good teaching job if one should arise. However, I do really like what I do now so it would have to be a very good oppurtunity to leave. However, I feel really bad for all of my coworks right now because one month from being full time I am now on medical leave...Ya...you heard it...now I am off work for awhile. Back in March when we moved into our new home I was helping push our couch into the trailer it dropped and snapped my wrist down. Well being a nurse and a procastinator I put it off as a bad sprain or bone bruise..well...after finally listening to my family doctor and seeing a hand specialist with xrays and an MRI later...I have a partial cartilage tear, ligament tear, and I tore the covering off of one of my bones slightly. So...now I have to wear this huge immobilizer for one month, get cortisone shots, and then see how I feel. If after one month things are not improved....then comes surgery (yuck!). The only positive that is come out of this is that my boys will not be going to daycare for the time I am home so I get lots of special time with two of my favorite people! I have never been able to stay home with my boys so I feel as if this is a special treat (minus the use of one arm and some soreness). Plus, I save alot of money with not sending them! Hmmmm....now up to this last weekend. We had so much fun! Saturday we went to the splash pad with the Ashlines ( and the boys favorite little buddy Jackson) and then to the Olin fireworks....which were by far the best I have ever seen! Then Sunday we went to the cabin for family time and the boys had such a blast! Boys sure will be boys, our tub was black Sunday night after washing all the dirt off of them. Then Sunday night we went to a glow in the dark golf tournament ( I was basically just the cheerleader) with the Ashlines again! Then on Monday we went swimming at the beach with them! What a weekend! Now its recovery and cleaning mode since our house looks like a torando came thru it! I hope to get better at blogging with the upcoming time home I have however typing one handed can take awhile so they may be short and sweet :) Hope everyones summer is going great! New pictures to come!
