Um Hello? Is anybody there? I am sorry. I know it's been a long time. Let me fill you in.
I believe I left off with Nathan's swollen face. Well I am not sure exactly what happened when but things have happened since.
Nathan's root canal went well, he ended up only needing one. I haven't had another trip to the hospital since well...last week, but that was for Leah, I haven't been there for an abscess since May. So the whole family has been healthy for one week and counting!!
Nate, Leah and I moved out of Katie's house and into our own. We are still working on renovations but it's livable here and we are actually sleeping in our bedroom now so that's amazing! Thanks to everyone who helped.
About a month ago I was in Connecticut visiting Rachel and a school system from this area called and offered an interview for me. I wasn't looking for a job but after a series of interesting events I decided to take the job. And I am loving it! I work about 30 hours a week and every Wednesday I have a half day. I like my student that I work with and I love the work that I do. I dislike not seeing Leah as much as I used to and some days it's really hard but for the most part I think working outside the home has made me a better mom. The time I spend with Leah has so much more meaning now and I'm excited to see her at 3:00 everyday. I'm not sure if I was cut out to stay at home. Which is interesting because every since I can remember I've wanted to be a teacher or a stay at home mom. I think I'll try again when Leah is old enough to communicate and we can actually do stuff together. I almost feel guilty liking my job so much. It's been a weird mix of emotions.
Ok, I am feeling particularly bored with this entry. Now that my obligatory "bring you up to speed" post is out of the way, my following posts will be actually interesting.
