Summer is Here!

The heat is upon us, and tomorrow marks Summer Solstace. We have had nothing but chaos and blessings in our home over the last few weeks. Ian had his surgery: a bone graft and screw to his right collar bone. Now he spends the summer in an arm immobilizer and what he feels is a "wasted summer vacation". Abigail had her first annual Ballet Recital dancing to "Lonesome Butterfly" which was adorable!

My dear husband has, at last, landed himself a much deserved position with a very reputable golf course here in our area. We are so proud of him, and so thankful that he will finally begin the journey to a life long passion of his. Please keep praying for his eventual acceptance into the PGA program.

I have at last finished my Orientation to the CVICU and could not be happier. This was by far the best move I could make and I find myself working amongst a fantastic and skilled group of nurses. The entire staff is great, and my welcoming is more than I could have wished for. Here is to a long relationship!

We leave soon on the road to Rochester, NY to visit with family, a visit that is long overdue. I look forward to the precious time with my grandmother, and fun times being "daddy's girl" once again. It will be a car full with 5 of us, but enjoyable at least. Here's to nostalgic summer road trips!!
