Crash on Coolidge

There is always something interesting going on on Coolidge Street.

So a car crashed into the house two houses down from us. Noah and Cohen were home at the time. It turns out that a man shot his mother (who was driving) and then hit our neighbors home and ran. Our neighbor had just left to get something to eat, but I guess the crash was right into where his bedroom used to be. The girl who was shot was taken to the hospital and lived. Nobody knew she was shot until she arrived at the hospital and had a seizure. The man was caught a day later. There was a whole mobile police station set up right outside our home almost the entire day/night of the crash. Then they left and multiple news stations showed up the next day. Coolidge has since quieted down, and the home is boarded up. Things are always interesting on Coolidge street. 

Cohen's Surgery:(

So we finally decided to go ahead with Cohen's hernia surgery. We prepped him the night before and the day of as to what was going to happen. He did so good. He loved his purple "pj's" that they gave him to wear and he did really well with everyone that came to "visit" for his pre-op checks. When it came time to separate, he did so good. Didn't cry at all. We were concerned about how he would do with the whole putting him to sleep thing, but the nurse came out and told us he put the mask on like a champ and they rocked to sleep singing songs, tear free. It melted my heart, my brave little boy. After surgery he did freak out a bit but soon after he was fast asleep at home recovering. When he woke up for good, grandma Carol was there feeding him her famous garlic bread (he didn't want spaghetti) and he got to eat all the ice cream and candy he wanted. What a brave little boy! He acted like nothing every happened!

Last meal: Home made pancakes with syrup!

My First Day of Work

I finally got a job. It is in home health. I was a little sceptical at first. I didn't know much about how home health worked, what kind of hours I'd be working, and what kind of benefits/pay I would be getting. Well, so far I love it. You don't have to work 12 grueling hours in a hospital where you never see the light of day. So far it's not too stressful and I'm loving my patients. I'm also getting all kinds of RN experience PLUS some case management experience which is a plus. I run into all kinds of different things with my patients so I get that experience also. The schedule is a little confusing at times, and I'm having to work around watching Cohen and being sensitive to my hubby's tshirt business. So we need to work on it a bit but I'm loving it so far and just feel grateful to have a job in this economy:) So this is a pic on my first day of orientation. (I had to wear business attire since it was just office stuff but I wear scrubs in the field). I know I'm a dork for taking a pic of my self but I was just so excited:)

My friend Anna

I met so many wonderful friends in nursing school and when school was over, we didn't see eachother much. One of them, Anna, recently got married. So it was nice to finally catch up with the girls:) 

29

So it was my bday, Feb 5th, 2010 I turned 29. This is the last year I will be in the 20's. I want to say it's a big deal, but I love the fact that life just keeps getting better and I honestly can't wait for each year to go by just to see what wonderful things it will bring. I don't mind getting older...most of the time;) So here are a few pics of my bday presents. My wonderful hubby did a good job.

Sprinkles Cupcakes-they were delicious. I ate way too many...

Blowing out the candles

The first bite

My absolute fav- Mojo yogurt. Mmmmmmmmmm

Very unexpected- a couple nights at the briar patch inn. Reminds me of our time before kids. I would LOVE to take Cohen up there with us!

Meeting the Cousins

It's been a while since I have seen my cousin Heather. We used to play as kids all the time. It was always me, Heather, and my older sis Cami. We were inseparable. We grew up and grew apart. Life happened. So it was so nice to get together with our new little families and catch up.
