Long Week

It's 9:01 on a Tuesday night and I'm exhausted.
I don't even have kids to feed, bathe, and put to bed.
All I have to do is worry about myself,
oh,
and my 26 "kids" I greet 5 days a week at school.
Every night, I get ready for my nightly chat with
Dr. D.
Some nights, it's fun. We talk about our days, laugh, joke, share stories.
Other nights, it's not so fun. We're stressed and tired.
On these nights, Dr. D. is usually studying for a test.
Now, here's where it gets hard.
I support him 100% in his endeavours.
I always tell him "If there is anything I can do, let me know!"
But,
I know that's silly!
I can't take is anatomy test for him.
I can't study diseases for hours on end in his behalf.
I can't see him everyday like we used to in Rexburg.
But,
I can support him.
I can tell him I love him.
I can make him yummy dinners.
I can clean is apartment.
He always says "Thank you".
He is always so happy to see me.
He is always smiling & saying "I love you".

Then I realize,

It's the moments like these, that make it ALL worth it.

The Groundhogs Prediction

On February 2nd (Groundhogs Day & Rachel's Birthday),
this little guy came out of his hiding place,
saw his shadow,
ran back in his warm little underground house,
and predicted
6 more weeks of winter.
Normally, I would be a little upset,
but this year,
I wouldn't mind six more week of this

Freeway Cameras

I enjoy my drive to work here.
It's warm, easy, quick, and a straight shot on the freeway.
However, the state of
likes to have it's drivers live in fear.
You're probably asking yourself "How?"
Well, feast your eyes upon the monsters.
Speed cameras plaster the Phoenix areas freeways.
Ever wonder why AZ freeways are clean, nice, and without potholes.
You have your answer.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Happy Birthday to my fun, cute, silly, and hilarious sister!

All the family vacations wouldn't be half as fun without this girl. We get laughing so hard, we can't even control ourselves!
Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me, now it's time for me to say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!
