The start of fall

Well as you can tell by the lack of posts, I am back in school. And it is NUTS! This semester is a lot different than last semester, we have a lot more clinical time and prep required for clinicals. So between that and a normal course load, phew. But I just keep telling myself I am the one that signed up for this, I am choosing to do this, so no major complaints. I am really enjoying this semester though, it is a lot more intense than last semester with harder classes and more hospital time, but I am learning so much! I even had a dream last night about being a real nurse!!! Someday......haha.

Alec has been staying busy as well with some house projects and yard projects. We had a garden this summer and grew pumpkins. The pumpkins have taken over the yard, so has been working on those recently. But we have a great little collection of them which grew in the garden, so cool! He always finds some little project or something to do to keep himself busy.

We are part of the 20-something group at our church, and on saturday had our kick off event. It was a lot of fun! We played kickball, then had burgers for dinner, played some volleyball, then played ultimate frisbee in the dark with glowsticks around our necks!
Josie is getting bigger all the time. I think she is about 12lbs now! She is doing really well though. She loves to sit on the love seat and look out the window.

Overall we are staying very busy but it is all stuff we choose to do. We constantly remind ourselves that we are so blessed to have all these opportunities and try not complain or to take advantage of any of them. The semester sure is going to fly by though at this rate!
