WELL I am finally updating....I know it is a miracle.

Things have been nuts around here. Where should I start.......
Work is going good. I have been off Orientation for almost a month. I see miracles everyday!! What a great job. For, thoose who don't know I work in the ICU and Renown Regional in Reno, NV. It is the regions only level 2 trauma center and certified stroke center. So many interesting things!! I am learning so much!! Besides that I am going to school and UNR working towards a degree in health ecology. They start a Master's of Public Health/M.D. program next spring. I work, workout and sleep oh and eat. I am offically a nut. We don't eat any processed foods anymore. NO CHEMICALS. I won't start on that subject right now though.
I am reading four different books on the brain right now. IT IS AMAZING!!! UMMM and that is about it for me. Oh I am little down on the gym cause I still am the same weight!!! Oh, And I have a trainer.....HE makes me feel like dying everyweek. But I guess that is what he is for.

Arianna is great. She is getting ready turn 6 at the end of the month. We are having so much fun together. I refused to by a TV so we are playing and dancing and going on hikes and stuff all the time. It is great. She started ballet today. She has a spanish tutor.. my sisters friend is a spanish teacher and just had a baby so she isn't working these days so Ari goes over to her house once a week for about an hour. We just started doing that. She is doing great in school. I got her first report card she has already exceeded all her competencies for the end of the year. Her only problem is......she's a talker....who didn't see that coming. But I work with her after school. Depending on which day of the week it is we pick an animal, planet, body part, or I have science fun activities, or the library/planetarium/ Art museum and we do an art project and look it up and learn about the topic. It is working out pretty well I pick the activities but she directs everything.
Well that is about it. I am super tired right now because I worked the last 3 nights and Ari had half days and so I didn't get much sleep. And I haven't slept since i got off work this morning. But I am off for a few now. I hope you all like the pics. Make sure you go back one arrow because not all the new pics are on this first screen since I took so dang long!!!!
