The Graduate!

With May came lots of crazy happenings for us---bedrest for me started first week of May and if any of you have ever experienced it then you know in theory it sounds fantastic until you go week after week after week...add a toddler in the mix--oh my. As a result, I was told that I could not attend Paige's graduation from nursing school. It wasn't one of those deals where I could just go and my MD wouldn't know. He walks past Brad's office everyday on his way to make rounds, deliver babies, and whatever else MDs do when they aren't in the office. I would have never gotten away with it. Don't think I didn't think about it. I was devastated that I could not go and cheer Paige on. For those of you who know me personally, you know that this has been a long road for my sister. She worked hard over many years to get to this point and it wasn't easy. She is super smart and was the type that never had to study and I think learned my osmosis. I mean it, she could sleep with a textbook under her pillow and wake up the next morning and ace the test--thus the cum laude designation she earned! Anyway, I sobbed and sobbed when I called her and told her that I was on bedrest and couldn't come to see her walk across the stage. Again, for those of you who know me---I'm not a crier so this really broke my heart into pieces. She, of course, being as gracious as she is completely understood and made it her mission to make me feel better! I called/texted my entire family during the entire weekend trying to get a play by play!

Paige A. S*******a, BSN, RN

Almost official!




Charlie, Meme Love, Daddy, Paige, Momma, and Meme T.
Look at all those cords!
My whole family couldn't be prouder of her! Just a few short weeks later she took her boards and passed and is now working at BMH in the PCU!

Back to the Future.

As promised, I am getting geared up for some major posting! I was not sure if I should just start from the here and now and not worry about the summer, but there were many fun things we were able to do and worth posting. So.....I am going to start in May and work our way back to the future!

Excuses, Excuses!

I am shocked to see how long it has been since I published a post, it is criminal. You will just have to trust me when I tell you it has been a roller coaster of a summer and I have legitimate reasons for neglecting the blog. Seriously, there is just too much for me to even try to explain how bizarre it has been. Plus, it sounds too much like a sob story that I would be afraid that what readers I do have left would think I either made it all up or I had the poor, pitiful me attitude. So, I hope to steal some time to catch everyone up on the happenings on our side of life....soon, I promise!
