It's been forever. (Just about 2 months). So much has happened since I last blogged. (It feels like it anyway). Here's a recap:
Lacy:
I am currently working as a registered nurse. I am so grateful to have found a job. The job market for nurses is just awful (which by the way is NOT what they tell you in school). I started out working at a care center for disabled children. I absolutely LOVED the kids. I didn't LOVE the hours though. I was working 5 days/week from 11pm-8am. It was killer. Let's just say, I wasn't being a wife or a mother--just a worker and a sleeper. I was going to just talk to my boss to cut down my hours, BUT randomly I got a call from another care center that I applied at back in July. They hired me part time evenings, and the pay is significantly higher. So, I am working half the hours, but making the same amount. We are so lucky and so grateful. I have had a couple shifts on my own, and everything is going well so far--still kind of like being thrown into the fire, but rolling with it so far.
I am currently still in school...(I am always in school). I still have 1.5 semesters until I have a BS in nursing. I can't wait for it to be over--there is so much work to add to the madness of work and family life. Call me crazy, but I think I might actually just push all the way through to nurse practitioner. We'll see. It's looking appealing right now bc I just found out I have to work Christmas day. Boo.
Jess:
Jess has picked up a new skill: being a stay at home dad. lol. well, not completely. he just is at home a lot more with crew since I am working in the evenings and at school all day on tuesdays. It kind of makes me sad that I am not with crew as much as I was, but I couldn't ask for any better of a babysitter. Jess is the best dad, and loves his boy.
Jess is still working for APX alarm in the inside sales dept. He is doing so well! He is so excited that the official NBA season has started. Bring out the GREEN and the CLOVERS. CELTICS all the way!
Crew:
Is turning 10 months on Sunday. He is everywhere. He crawls super fast, pulls himself up on things, tries to bite my feet, eats real people food, dances when music comes on, goes after every plug/outlet in the house, chews on his tongue all the time...it totally looks like he's chomping on something, HATES getting his diaper changed...oh my goodness, this is my LEAST favorite thing to do, his top two teeth cut through, eats every crumb on the floor, is off of his prevacid (hopefully for good), jumps on his crib mattress in the middle of the night. He is getting so big and even cuter by the day.

Here are some other things that have happened:
My brother left for a 2 year LDS mission. We dropped him off at the MTC:
We attended the APX Nitro Circus party. We couldn't see much, but was fun nonetheless. I am a short person and therefore could not get any pics of Travis Pastrana. It was so jammed packed.
