Changes

Well, I have a job. When I went into the interview I thought "If I get the job, Great!, If I don't get the job, Great!" I need a job in order to renew my nursing license. I have to have 900 hours of work experience in the next two years or I lose it. But I really love being a stay at home mom. I love being with Paige all day. She is such a cutie.

So I am now a nurse at Forest Grove Rehab. It is a rehab center and long term care facility. I am working in the long term care side. It is pretty much the exact opposite of what I really wanted to do. I wanted to be a pediatric nurse working with kids in a hospital. Instead I am working with older individuals in a nursing home.

BUT, I am starting to really like it. I am still scared and don't feel like I know what I am doing, but I am starting to get attached to some of  the residents. There are some of the sweetest people there. They just make me smile. Also, this job is only 8 hour shifts and I can just work weekends evenings/nights. That way Karl can be home with Paige while I am at work.It is good that they are getting Daddy Daughter time. That makes it so I don't have to worry as much but I still hate leaning her. Hopefully it gets better. Of course leaving her with dad means I come home to pictures like this.

We are teaching her young. Go Cougs!

Karl is done with his golf course job. It got a little nuts. He had work from 4am-8am and then had to go back from 5pm-8pm his last week because there was a LPGA tournament and they needed the course to be immaculate.

He just started school and he is SOOOOO excited. Not. His school is so intense. I hope me and Paige get to see him sometimes. Last semester I was able to hang out with him on weekends but now that I am going to be working weekends that time is out. We will have to figure something out.

Paige is doing great. Growing like crazy. She now loves to talk and will just coo to herself all morning. We are working on getting her to sleep all night but that is still pretty hit and miss right now. She is still an amazingly good baby and I love her like crazy. She loved watching the Olympics with me and we have officially decided that she is going to be an athlete.

 Which sport is still up in the air at this point but we are working on it.
