Changes...

Things have definately changed here lately. The biggest change, I think, is that I am going to work at a different hospital. We have two large hospitals in Paducah, 20 minutes away, and I am going to work at Lourdes. I wil be working in the ICU and I can totally not wait. I have been able to take care of ventilator patients but really that is all because we don't really deal with really critical patients at the hospital I am at. I will get to recover open heart surgery patients, help with hemodialysis and some other really cool stuff I have only just heard of. So big change, one that I am really excited about.

The next change is the fact that I have taken my first round of clomid this month. Hopefully this month, we will be pregnant. I am so tired of waiting and testing and all this other bull crap. I am ready.

The kids and I are starting school this month. They start in a week. I start the 18th of August. I am going to be finishing my BA in nursing, and then going on to be CRNA, if I get accepted. But I have at least 2 years of BA junk to do. So, I am excited about that too.

Lots to do, lots to do...

Gavin's Birthday party

Gavin turned 9 on July 4th. We had his party at the swimming pool on the 6th after a long weekend of family reunioning!!! It was such great fun. The kids didn' t know that they had that many relatives!! I am posting a few pics of party and reunion!

Kings Island

We went to Kings island for the kids birthdays this year instead of buying them a bunch of crap. It was such a good idea, and super nostalgic for me!!! I have been to Kings Island more times than I can remember, but I haven't been since my summer after I graduated. It was so nice to go back. Things had changed somewhat but the memories were still there. There was still the Viking ship, the Eiffel tower, the Racers, the Vortex and my favorite, White Water Canyon!! Of course that turned out to be the kids favorite ride too. And then there was the token butterflies in the stomach right when you are about to go down a huge hill or going up one too. I LOVE THAT PLACE! The kids did too. I love that I could share that with them.
