Trucking Along...

I am just full of gratitude right now in my life. Things are so amazing and I know I've said it in the last couple of posts, but it just gets better every day. This last week has been hectic. Work has been crazy and I have been go go go. I love my job, I really do. I get to work with the most amazing people who are so committed to their work it leaves me wanting to work even harder and better. I am so lucky to have a boss that is a mentor to me and I truly learn something new from her everyday. The same goes with my direct peers and the people I get the privilege to oversee and guide. I couldn't ask for a better team of people to spend more than half my time with, they make me want to keep doing more. We implemented a big project and I was at work at 1:30 this morning. Watching them all work together, get the job done, and receive recognition, has left me with the biggest smile on my face tonight.

My mom had an emergent second surgery on Sunday. I'm so thankful for the surgeon that worked on her. She is looking better than she has in the last 3 weeks. Part of her going through this gives me the opportunity to play nurse! She has come home with IV antibiotics so twice a day me and my dad get to take an hour and a half to flush out her pic lines, push in antibiotics manually, and then hook her up to another IV antibiotic, and then flush it all again and give her blood thinners at the very last through the pic line. I don't like that she has to go through this for the next 6 weeks, however I know it is helping her and it is fun for me. So she has to deal with me as a giggly nurse haha.

The girls are still doing great. School is gearing up and they go back the third and fourth week of this month. I'm excited to go and do some shopping and get them all cutesy! They have been so much fun this summer and I am reminded every day of how much they have grown up. I can't even use sarcasm without them totally understanding what I am saying and telling me I'm crazy lol. I love those girls to death!

Lastly...I am still hopelessly in love with an amazing man. He is so supportive, gentle, sweet, and I just don't think there are enough adjectives to describe how incredible he is and how much he means to me. I never thought something like this existed and I thank God every night for bringing him in my life. I'm excited to make some fun plans this fall and winter, including HUNTING with him, hooray! It's been such a great year and it gets better every single day.

I am so thankful for all of the beautiful people in my life. You are all what makes me smile and look forward to so many things. I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
