I went on a blogging rampage and just finished about 10 new posts. If you're a picture person be sure to scroll down. You can click on the collages to make them bigger. I don't usually do this, but lots of people have been asking what I'm doing now, so I thought I would give a little update on my blog since I'm notoriously bad at texting, and returning calls and facebook messages. I guess technology really is destroying my personal interactions.
We moved back to Utah so JP could finish up his last license and begin flight instructing. I was looking for a job, but wasn't having any luck. The day before we moved, a friend from grad school told me about a PRN position at the hospital where she works, so I applied and got the job. It's really close to where we live and is pretty ideal for our situation right now. I began working there when I was 8.5 months pregnant (I couldn't believe they hired me either) and went back to work when Brecken was only 3 weeks old. It was not fun and WAY too early, but everything sort of fell into place after that. The outpatient speech-language pathologist who had the job I wanted so badly unexpectedly quit and I got to take her job. It was a crazy whirlwind for awhile because my employers flew me to Texas (JP and Brecken got to come too) for a specialized training (LSVT) that only takes place a couple times a year. It was a pretty crazy couple of days, but I got to see my BFF Mary and her husband Jared while we were there which made the whole trip worth it! I actually really enjoyed the training. JP and I, true to form, missed our flight coming home, but in our defense it was early and we got no sleep the whole time we were there. We were on standby for about 10 hours and almost had to spend the night, but JP ran into a guy he recognized at the ticket counter in Denver (what?) and he said we were airline employees to get us on the last flight of the night. How's that for a run-on sentence? Brecken didn't make a peep the whole day (the flight to Texas was not the same story). Sooo, now I work primarily with patient's who have voice disorders secondary to Parkinson Disease. I'm a big believer in the therapy program and have already seen it change lives which takes a little bit of the sting out of leaving my munchkin everyday. JP is able to watch Brecken most days because his schedule is pretty flexible. He adores her and is better at changing diapers than I am. I'm always entertained by the outfits he puts her in, but he is so good with her it makes up for it. That's the story of my life right now. Any questions??
