One Lucky Girl
Oh my gosh I am such a lucky girl.. I just won my friend Jodi's Pamper Me Give Away Contest!! Yeah I am so excited!! Oh ya Oh ya uh hu uh hu!!! Woo hooo Yipeeeeeeee.. I so needed this...I cant believe I won. There were so many entries for this.. this is the 2nd time i have won a contest of hers.. I must be living right!! Thank you to all those who went in and voted and said I sent ya... Muah!! We are still waiting to hear if she won her sego lily day spa contest.. She won popular votes so she is just waiting to see if she won over the management teams votes.. Good Luck Jodi!!!
It's been a crazy couple of weeks.. We had Steve's mom and dad and brother and wife and their 5 kids come visit us for the 4th of July.. It was great to see them.. It had been 2-3 years since we saw his brother and his family.. We hadn't even seen their 2 youngest so it was really good to see them again.. We took the kids to a near by lake to go fishing and they had the time of their lives.. As soon as they would cast out they would start getting bites.. That is the best fishing for kids.. They dont get too bored that way!! We did some BBQing in the afternoon and since we are still pretty new we didnt know where all the firework shows were so we just got a few and did our own show.. The pickings were very slim out here. They only had a few to choose from so it wasnt all that exciting, but I think the kids still had fun just playing with their cousins..
Jessie and logan started swimming lessons last week and have been having a blast doing that and this week Jessie and Austin will start summer school.. They are not to happy about that but I think it will be beneficial for the both of them.. Jessie is back in horse lessons and loving every minute of it.. She is such our little cowgirl.. Her very first lesson she got to do some jumping which she never has done before and that just put her on cloud 9.. She has been riding Western for the past year and now has taken an intrest in english style so we will see how it works out..
Steve is still very busy with work as always and I am trying to make some major decisions right now on top of being a mom still and running kids everywhere.. I have once again been pondering on the idea of becoming a Firefighter/EMT.. I really only want the EMT part of it but out here it is all 1 job.. Where my kids will be in school full time starting this fall I will have more time so I have been seriously considering going back to work part time.. I have my medical assistant degree but wanted to expand a little.. I have thought about going back to school and getting my RN but am not to thrilled on the going back to school part and the waiting list to be accepted.. Plus the money it would cost.. With doing the firefighter position they pay for your training so I am really trying to decide if this is something I could handle.. I am very strong so I dont think I would have any issues there but I dont have great knee's so I worry about the work causing problems in that area.. I have already had surgery twice on 1 knee and am still having problems with them... I dont mind seeing blood and guts I have always been into watching the er shows and medical stuff on tv so I dont think that would bother me either but I do worry about some of the scenes I may see on some of the calls I would go on.. Having to see a child who has been run over or who has died in some way may hit a little too close to home and I worry what effect it might have on me.. I heard that it is a very rough and stressful job. I definently dont need any more stress in my life so I am really torn on what to do.. Does anyone have any opinions advice or experience that would like to share?
Also I have started up regulary running again (no wonder I am having knee problems) and have been seriously contemplating on running a half marathon in Sept.. I only ran a 5k last year and have had many problems since then with running and injurys.. I just love running and my goal is to run a marathon someday.. My knees and shin splints in my leg have really been a problem and ends up taking me out of the game alot, plus I am so chicken when it comes to new experiences I'v never done before. I have no clue where the city the race is in. I'm not familiar with the area or how to even go about doing it and wish I had someone who has done this before that could kinda show me the ropes.. I dont even really know how to prepare.. But I have read some running books and have done a little research and just started today on a training schedule to help prepare so now all I have to do is make up my mind on whether to do it or not and hope that my body will cooperate with me..
Decisions Decisions..
So anyways that is what we have been up to lately..
