Time tends to fly by without warning. It seems like only yesterday we said goodbye to my Daddy and my world was turned around... but now... I'm the happiest I've ever been! I know I said this a couple of posts ago, which shows that my happiness hasn't gone anywhere! :) I mentioned that I had begun a Nanny job, and let me tell you that it is THE GREATEST JOB ON EARTH!... well, it's the greatest job to me. The kids are amazing and I am having so much fun watching them grow and develop. It feels so wonderful to know that I am helping them develop in a positive way. As a recap, the little boy is almost 5 months old (will be 5 mos on December 3rd) and the girl is 2 and a half. They are the most wonderful children! I love Mondays because I get to be with the little girl all day, since she goes to my church's weekday school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. I love taking her and her brother to different places to explore new things, seeing the look on their faces when they discover new things makes me feel amazing :) Little man has grown so much since I started working with the family... he could barely hold himself up when I first began, and now he's lifting himself up off the floor and smiling and rolling from his back to his stomach. He's very close to being able to sit up on his own, and has recently begun eating rice cereal! It's not an easy task, but he's starting to get the hang of it :)
The semester is almost over, and I'm very proud of myself for getting through it by myself! I can't tell you how good it feels to be taking charge of myself and my life. I know what I want to do with my life, and I think that's the source of my overwhelming happiness!
Travis and I are doing very well. We are taking on the world as a team, and his support in my desire to be a Child Psychologist is giving me all I need to persue it :) I am so happy to have him and we look forward to a life of love, happiness, and children. We aren't married yet, but it will happen when we're ready.
Mom is recovering nicely from her knee replacement. It's been nearly 3 months (as of December 9th), and she does have moments of discouragement because the pain hasn't gone away as quickly as it did when she had her other knee replaced. My theory is that her first replacement was done in the spring, and this one happened in late summer/early fall. You know the thing about cold weather effecting joints, and I think that's what's happening here. I hate to see mom in pain, but she is still pushing through and I am so beyond proud of her!
That's about it for now... so... BYE!
:)
