smunday.

So, apparently I can't figure out what day of the week it is. I've been struggling with it all day! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we went to Tucson on Friday night so I could go to my dear friend/faithful bridesmaid's baby shower on Saturday, but had to be back in Phoenix for work bright and early on Sunday morning! We are so used to leaving Sunday nights so we can be back before Chris has school on Monday so I spent all day struggling to remember that it's Sunday.

We did a few things key things this [really busy] weekend. 1) Did a bunch of computer homework for new grad academy (BOOO), 2) showered baby Emily with love and lots of presents, 3) helped see Chris' family off on their week-long vacation to Hawaii to celebrate... 4) LITTLE REESE'S BIRTHDAY! We may have celebrated from afar with a little party in our hearts but alas, the boy is one whole year old AND GETS TO CELEBRATE IN PARADISE with...6) TAYLOR! Who also had a birthday! Happy 18th! (that's how adults are wished a happy birthday) 5) Took care of tedious business (we're working on getting one of our many extra cars up here so Chris isn't stuck at home during my 12 hour shifts). 

Needless to say...busy busy busy. As usual. Chris has an exam this week, so he's in CPR/cardiovascular overdrive. Which strangely enough also touches on some key things my patients are going through, so we're helping each other. The new job is going well! My preceptor is still fantastic (whew). I feel like I'm starting to get into a little groove so hopefully this is forward progression. There is just so much to take in and if you mess up, someone winds up hurt/dead/maimed/messed-up-in-some-way. Um...feel the pressure. Still having thoughts about grad school and pondering the question: when are you in so much debt that adding more on top of it just doesn't even matter anymore? Hopefully, I'll come to that conclusion soon.

So, Happy Smunday to you all. Whichever day it felt like to you. Viesa is happy to be home after a fun weekend (she's a homebody).  Off to snuggle till we fall asleep. Either Viesa or Christian, not sure which. :)

LOVE and more love.
Ash + Viessey + Chris

PS: SARAH GRACE...I had a dream last night that you and I were hiking though the jungle and you took me ocean kayaking in Hawaii. Just sayin'.... <3
