Today my sister took all of us to the Virginia Zoo http://www.virginiazoo.org/ . Even though I have lived here almost 17 years that was one place that I had never been. It was pretty cool too. Family outings are great, it is so much better than just sitting at home.
Ranota is going to the Riverside Hospital Nursing School for the LPN program. For more than 10 years now she has worked at the nursing home in Malta and as a volunteer EMT for Phillips County. She has done a lot of amazing work with her patients. The work she does I would not be cut out for. Her plans are to go on to RN then MD and work in an Emergency Room. I have no doubt that she will accomplish her goals.
I continue to be amazed the last couple of weeks at how much more I am getting done since my family has been living with us. Ranota, Jerrit, and Brady, moved in with us on July 8th. Matt and I have not had kids yet. I have been alone a lot because for over half of our 14 years marriage my husband has worked either 2nd or 3rd shift. Being alone does some weird things to your head. So having a house full of people I love and want to help take care of has been really great. I know after many years of over analyzing myself that I was meant to take care of people. I love being a wife, look forward to being a mom, and love what I am doing now with my sister and nephews. When I have people to take care of I get more done, sleep better, think less, and have so much more joy and peace in my life. Hopefully within the next couple of years we will have babies or adopt some. For those of you who may not know or remember my parents Karl and Jan adopted me when I was 5 weeks old.
And of course with all of this going I you know I definitely need my coffee :)
