HE'S HOME!!!!

Michael got home last week, yeah! It has been fun listening to him talk about all the adventures he had in Nicaragua.  I am very relieved that the airport reunion is over.  It is incredibly hard to sit and wait, well, for me it's hard to wait at any time, but waiting for something so huge is almost unbearable.  I have decided I need to drive in the "slow" traffic lane more often on the way home from work to teach myself patience, but I digress.....Michael's plane was delayed so it was almost 9pm before we saw him walking up the long hallway.  I don't think he could have walked slower if he tried...when I encouraged him to hurry he told me that "you've waited 2 years, you can wait a few more seconds to see me".  I did have the presence of mind to cover my face partly while I was crying this time so my mom wasn't able to get an awful picture of me like she did at Kevin's homecoming.   Noone looks good when they cry. 

It has been crazy busy since he got here, I just want to spend a bunch of time catching up with him, but alas, life goes on, and that includes work and school, not just him...so I have to share him with other people.  He has been diligently looking for a job, and complete his application to BYU-I and looking for ways to serve others and even helping quite a bit around the house, he is working out at the gym with us, and he has even touched bases with some old friends, I think he is adapting very well.

PACU is a little short staffed right now, and we are a little overstaffed, so I oriented to daysurgery and PACU 2 so I could float down there, it was really fun, and they seemed to like me....maybe there is a change in my future????  I don't know though, the people are all really happy there and they have been there for a very long time, so I am not so sure that will happen any time soon.  But I will not give up hope,another benefit... people in that area have Sunday's off, they just have to take their turn being on call, I could handle that.

I am half way through my statistics class...and I am still passing...YEAH!!! I see a light at the end of the tunnell and it isn't a train!  However I need to be careful not to speak too soon, there are only 16 out of 31 students left in the class....it really is a tough one.

I am scheduled to work on Thanksgiving, but I am hoping to get cancelled so I can participate in the Turkey trot 4mile run and spend the day with family.  But it isn't all bad, I have had to work so many Thanksgivings that Bob is now very proficient at cooking a turkey.  Happy Turkey day everyone!!!!
