What a Slacker

That's me . . . I am the slacker because it has been a REALLY long time since I posted anything. In my defense, life suddenly got CRAZY. How crazy? Well, the very abbreviated version is this: in the couple months I accepted not one, but two new jobs; we moved; also we went on vacation; also we had friends come and visit. Joe worked ALOT and we took care of our now 5 month old baby, and holy cow . . . those babies really do grow up fast!

Also, SOMEONE made the mistake of telling me that they didn't know what my baby looked like because I don't post enough pictures (you know who you are Jen :) so watch out because this blog is about to turn into baby picture city.

So, anyway . . .

I accepted a job as an ER nurse; I am pretty nervous to go back since it has been over a year since I worked as a nurse at all, but the opportunity is pretty ideal. It is just a per diem assignment, so it will be just enough to keep my skills up and my license current and not enough to take me away from my most important and most awesome job of being Winky's mother. Also, I interviewed for this job last November . . . WHAT? . . . I know! That is a slow hiring process, and a very long story for a very different day.

Secondly, Joe and I accepted a job as apartment managers (which is why we moved). This opportunity came with a little chaos because we didn't know until very last minute that we were selected for the position (i.e. "how soon can you move?" I believe were the actual words used to offer us the job), so we accepted the job and moved about a week later. We still have a few boxes sitting around, but I am happy to say that our apartment is FINALLY coming together.

In the mean time, we went on a super fun trip to Mammoth with our friends Sarah and Ryan, and found just about every other excuse possible to put off unpacking.

If you are still reading I am impressed. Now, onto my favorite part of keeping a blog . . . here are a few recent pictures (first, a few from Mammoth) and lots of little Maggie, so that no one can tell me that they don't know what my baby looks like :)
