The middle of Feb. started a new term at nursing school. It was awful, stressful, gross, funny, and I never want to go back. It required me to swallow some serious self reflection. I think I came out a better person and in the end a better nurse. I now only have eight more months to go. Feb. 1, 2013 is soo close I can taste it.
My oldest went college shopping in April out in Utah. He is so excited and I have bittersweet emotions. He is growing into such a great young man. Right now he is on a mini mission with our church. I have not heard from him in four days. It is good preparation for me when he goes on a full time mission in two years. He is close to the Lord and knows how to choose the right. My middle son is going to China this summer and spouts out some serious Chinese mumbo jumbo I can't understand but love to hear. My youngest is out of elementary school and came home crying because she is scared of middle school. I love my drama queen. She is going to rule that school with her life force.
My busy resident husband is also so close to finishing his training to his new career that we are already planning our graduations celebrations for next year!
I have added about four new food blogs to my favorites list and threw a yummy Cinco de Mayo party. I was so busy cooking that I did not take any pictures of the fabulous carnita meat or spanish rice I made. But, I remember the taste and it was mouth watering.
I went house hunting for family that is moving close to us. I love going into homes and checking them out.
I cut sixteen inches of hair off and now love my shorter hair. It is still in the bag to send off to Locks for Love along with my hair I cut off four years ago.
Oh, did I tell you that I am a terrible procrastinator. I am, I save everything to the last minute then complain to myself(mostly) that I hate doing that.
I went on a Women's trip to Ft. Lauderdale with two other wonderful women. We had a blast eating three times at Burger Fi, sitting on the beach and by the pool. I think that it will be a yearly trip for me.
I have now done two more triathlons in Ohio. This makes seven total. But, the sad part was I could not finish the last one. The bike took everything out me, not really physically but emotionally. I had some angels(spiritual ones) push me back the last four miles of the bike ride. I cried because I could not finish. I was the last bike rider. I had the race sponsor car following me with their flashers on. I have never done that before. Not enough training. I plan I redoing that tri again later this summer. I need more time in the bike seat. The bike is my nemesis. I will beat it and at least one other rider to not be in last place.
OK, this updates me to last week. This week I am on my one week summer school break. I have some new recipes I am trying.
I am going to keep this blog updated!!
One foot in front of the other,
Mads
