A few weekends ago, in an attempt to escape the snow in SLC, we headed south for a few days. (I don't know about anyone else, but I am NOT ready for snow yet.) We had a lot of fun hiking, swimming, watching football and just hanging out. Eli and I made it successfully through "the crack." Here are a few pics of a fun weekend.
This post is a little late, but I decided to "retire" from nursing...for now. I've been a labor and delivery nurse for 7 years and now it is time to stay home full-time with the kiddos. Nursing has been a huge part of my life, so I will definitely miss it. Being a labor and delivery nurse has been part of "who I am" for a long time, so it is wierd that I'm no longer doing that.
Some of the things I WILL miss:
-the awesome people I work with
-taking care of family and friends
-feeling like I actually helped someone and made a difference for them
-being a part of the miracle of childbirth on a regular basis (without actually being the one giving birth!)
A few things I will NOT miss:
-insanely busy shifts (that had become the norm) when you never even sit down, let alone eat anything the entire shift
-call shifts
-working all night and then trying to be a good mom the next day
-getting yelled at by pregnant women 
One of the best things about my job was being able to work with my Dad and sister.
All in a day's work for my mom...
It's no wonder I think of myself as a failure of a homemaker:)
