Update, it's been a long time

Wow, I have been a big old slacker when it comes to updating this blog! With Facebook it seems that I have been doing more with that rather than posting here. My goal is to work a little bit more with the blog and a little less with Facebook since I can't tell the whole story on Facebook.

Ok so here we go with the update. About a month after I made the last post to this site we found out we were pregnant, due in May 2010. We spent the fall, winter, and first part of spring getting ready for our little one to arrive. I headed back to school in the fall watching my belly grown through the rest of my clinical rotations. On May 5th I listened to my last lecture on line for school, got a pedicure and a haircut, and went to sleep. The next morning my water broke and after Mike got home from work we made our way to the hospital. After an unexpected c-section (Cora was breech & we didn't know it), our little girl arrived.

After she was born I spent the next month studying for my nursing boards. After that we spent the summer traveling and enjoying getting to know the newest addition to our pack. We traveled to Seattle, Twin Falls, San Francisco, Northern Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and many camping trips closer to home. Cora is a rock star traveler and camper and we are so excited about all the adventures to come.

After Labor Day I went back to work, but this time as an RN. Work is going well. Trying to adjust to being on night shift, which is going better than I expected, and being away from Cora and Mike on a more frequent basis.

Hmmmm, what else? Oh yeah, Mike and I decided it would be fun to train for a 1/2 marathon together. So on November 6th we will be running the Zeitgeist Half Marathon here in Boise. I am really excited since I haven't run a bigger race since before I was pregnant and because I will be running with Mike this time.

So there is the basic update. I will continue to post here all the happenings of our pack. Stay tuned.
