The End of January 2010

This last week of January has been pretty busy for us. I started doing all procedures at work by myself and it was the craziest week. I'll be taking turns with the other two nurses, so I'll only have to do procedures every three weeks, thank goodness. It went really well, but I was very stressed and pretty drained when Friday night finally came. This weekend has been a nice, relaxing one and I don't want it to end!

Josh has been doing homework almost every night this week. He's one week ahead on his assignments and is still doing really great. He has another test on Friday and another project due soon. I don't know how he does that and keeps up with everything else! We also heard from one of the other four applicants for the police job he's waiting to hear about. She wasn't selected. We heard this on Monday so have been on pins and needles ever since, waiting to hear if Josh got the position or didn't. We haven't heard a single thing. It's driving me, and Josh's mom, absolutely crazy! Josh seems to be calm about the whole thing and just laughs when the two women in his life get worked up about it. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and keeping their fingers crossed that a job will come his way! We really appreciate all of your love and support! It helps get us through-especially at times like this when all we can do is wait.

A couple of cute things have also happened this week. Our cat, Moroni, was found to be in-between the covers of our bed. She usually does this when we're laying in bed, watching TV, but this time I was just walking past the bedroom and saw this lump in our covers. After doing a double-take, I found that it was Moroni. She had climbed up in between the two blankets and was sound asleep.




The next cute thing happened yesterday morning while we were at my grandpa's birthday breakfast. Everyone from my dad's side of the family goes to breakfast at Denny's once a year to celebrate with my grandpa. As we were waiting for everyone, we found that we needed another table. I started to move the one next to ours over and the waitress came over saying "you must be a mom". I told her that I wasn't one yet. Then later, during the meal, she came around to clear up some empty dishes and I started handing her some. She then said that I would be a great mom. That took me by surprise, but made me smile. I thought it was neat that someone I don't even know thinks I'll be a good mom just by a couple of things she saw me do. It was a nice compliment! And I hope I can be that great mom she says I will be when I get the chance!

I have a couple more pictures I'd like to put on this post. This is another holster that Josh made. I think it's really neat! He made it for our Derringer and it's more a "show-holster" than a workable holster.
He also made it so it could be put on a belt and worn.


Sorry about the millions of directions this post took! I kept thinking of things I wanted to blog about. I hope everyone has had a good January! And that the rest of 2010 goes just as good!
