The past week has been a strange, yet welcoming adjustment. I have been here in Salt Lake with Mike's parents, and they have been absolutley wonderful. It was crazy going back to Vernal for a quick few hours to pack up my classroom and two weeks worth of necessities and then turn around and head back to Salt Lake. It felt strange trying to tie up all the loose ends with my students - not being able to say goodbye, goodluck, have a good summer - and then just walking away from it all, hoping that someone else can take control of that group of kids. It's a little sad in a way. The more I have thought about it, the more I am starting to understand the sacrifices one makes to become a parent. My child means the world to me, even if it means walking away from my job, spending the weeks away from my husband, and doing whatever else it takes to get him here safe and sound. I love this little booger.
I have enjoyed this free time. I am teaching myself how to sew, getting caught up on my reading, and reconnecting with friends that I feel I have neglected a little bit in the past few months. Life is still good.

OH good, I look forward to hearing from you soon!
I'm glad you are feeling better. I've been thinking about you and can't imagine having to go on bed rest right now because it seems like there is so much to do. I'm glad you are happy and that you're taking care of that little guy!
Love you Trish! Ironically my word verification was dilate... how bout that?
