Hello again friends and family! I thought the new background and title were appropriate as going back to school is what made me MIA! Also, the kids are starting school in a week and a half. Can you believe it? So, the following pictures are random but are a few moments of this summer captured. The first few are us trying to get a family photo the night before Addie's 5th birthday.
Obviously, my attempt not so good. But, while on the subject of me, (totally kidding BTW) this summer has been challenging. I know I made it sound terrible, and honestly at the time it did seem terrible, but it wasn't so bad. I have a love/hate relationship with Chemistry. I love to learn and really if it made sense, I would love Chemistry. But really, there is a lot to Chemistry. My hat is off to those of you that Chemistry comes naturally.
However, it felt, feels, so good to finally get this whole going back to school adventure officially started. One semester down and two to go before I actually start nursing school. Of course, that is if (when) I get accepted. I can't wait. I know I'll go back to school again though. Yes, I really just said that. I don't think this will be the end. I will have to get my master's in something. Probably nursing.
This guy was amazing. Seriously. He became super dad when I became super B*&%h! I wasn't the nicest person during Chemistry. All I did was study, sleep and work. It sucked. Martin picked up the pieces I left lying and carried on. Thanks Honey. It will pay off for you some day too!
Handsome...
...and precious. They were wonderful as well. It's not easy having your mom go back to school. They have been very supportive.
Addie turned 5 this summer and starts Kindergarten. I have been ok with this idea until just recently. I really think the chapter of having babies of my own is over. That makes me sad. I love my kids more than anything on this earth and they are growing up way to fast. Before I know it they will be making lives of their own.
Birthday morning. I don't remember what was so funny.
This was the day my dad had his quadruple bypass. Another reality check. It is so hard to watch your parents get older and suffer. My dad is only 59 and you would never guess he needed to have this surgery. I love my parents and don't ever want to think of them not being with me. He is doing fantastic and is recovering well. That's just how my life is, as I think a lot of people's lives are, when it happens, it happens. Nothing is ever "easy" in my world. Study for a chemistry test, 4th of July weekend, Addie's birthday and dad having open heart surgery all in one weekend. No problem! That's ok, it makes me who I am. I'm so glad I was able to be there for him.
This guy also had a birthday this summer. He also got to participate in his very first World Series. He spent most of his summer playing baseball.
Family is a wonderful thing. I love you J.
This is Ms. Tweets. We had a cardinal join our home this summer and my husband became very attached to her.
Addie also started dance this summer. As you can recall, she has been begging me for months now to do dance and I always thought she was too young and wouldn't really appreciate it. I was WRONG! She loves it. Her and Kinleigh had some good times with dance this summer and are continuing through CPAC. We are very excited.
It's hard to believe that another summer is coming to an end. Where does the time go? I can say, this summer has been awesome, despite the Chemistry, I've been very happy back in school. I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I've had so much fun this summer with friends and family and starting a new journey. Life looks good.
