4 more working days until I leave my comfort zone of work
4 more working days until I say good bye to dear coworkers that I have grown to love
4 more working days until I sit in new office with new people and new responsibilities (I'm SCARED!)
MORE IMPORTANTLY...
4 more working days until I am a PT worker FINALLY!
4 more working days until I can do the flashcards that I wanted to do with Logan on a Tuesday afternoon
4 more working days until I don't have to change Logan out of his warm pjs at 6:30 AM (at least not 5 days/wk)
4 more working days until I can cook a dinner for my family without feeling rushed and unprepared
4 more working days until I can enjoy the blessings that I have been given....I can't wait!!!

God is good
It is WELL after 11 and I can't sleep. So, I figured that I should update my Xanga.
First of all, let me do a few "shout outs" (yes, I DID just write that...and YES, I am embarrassed!):
Missa---Yay! You are moving back and I couldn't be happier. So funny, growing up we all say, "I can't WAIT to get out of here." and then we grow up and there is no better place on earth.
Brietta---I have been HORRIBLE with commenting but I check in on you and precious Aubrey often. Logan and I have been including your whole family in our bedtime prayers for sometime now and will continue to. BTW--She is so cute!
Sarah--I love your hair! Also, I have a picture of Logan that looks JUST like Ally's on the swings. He was scared and twisting all around and I was petrified that he was going to fall out. It was the longest 90 seconds of BOTH of our lives! hahaha
Okay...So I am caught up to what I wanted to say. I just wanted to update and let you know that God has blessed me and our family. I was offered a Part Time Position on Wednesday for UPMC. I did not apply for this job, a colleague that I know that works at UPMC contacted me and asked if I would be interested in working 24 hours (3 days) a week as a Nurse Recruitment Coordinator for Presby. I was hesistant but prayed through all 9 (yes, 9!) interviews. Finally, 2.5 months later...I was offered the job on Wednesday. It actually is only 20 hours a week (2-10 hour days!) and I only will work Thursday and Friday. The most amazing part of this is...they are paying me about what I wanted to make working 24 hours/week. I am thrilled and know in my heart that this job was sent to me from up above. God is so good.

It's a small world after alll...
Well, we made it! We are home from was a WONDERFUL week at Disney World. So many people thought that Logan, at 2 and a half was too little to take him there. I am sure that he will not remember being there when he is 15 years old but he LOVED every second of it. It was such a joy seeing how he and my nieces got excited (and scared!) when the characters came around. I will have to write more later b/c I am in a pile of laundry up to the ceiling but I wanted to share a few photos....Check them out in my photo gallery!

Time to update
I don't really have much of an update but it truly has been so long that I think I need to.
Work-- Still is horrible and hard to be there 5 full days a week. I can tell it is starting to bother Logan too. He is WAY more clingy than he used to be. I have my weekly cry and move on about my week, what else is there to do...other than pray which I am doing so much of! I did have an interview with Jefferson Hospital for a PT Recruiter position. It would also be great but it really does depend on the financial aspect of the job. I know that they have already moved on to checking references on me so that is a great sign but we'll just have to see. BTW--does anyone know of a place where I can buy a money tree? That would be a great addition to our backyard. Lowe's doesn't carry them...I checked already!
Logan---Sweet as pie and ornery as ever! He got a fish this weekend at the Zoo (little plastic one) and he loves it. It is a clown fish, just like Nemo though he has never seen the movie. We are going to Disney in a few weeks so I wanted to get him interested in Nemo as I know that there are alot of Nemo attractions there. So, he loves it. He has been biting on its tail non stop which is strange b/c even as a baby he was not one to put things like that in his mouth. He is 2.5 and is a chewer--go figure! His new thing is telling me which way to turn in the car on our way to places. He has a really good memory and good sense of direction too. He gets that from me...Jason STILL gets lost going to my sisters (about 10 mins from our house) and they have lived there for 4 years!
Jason--Jason loves his job, loves summer b/c he is enjoying being outside. All in all he is doing well!
Misc--Our pool ladder broke this weekend. Not a big deal to most but to us, just one more thing to spend money on. So, we went yesterday and looked at ladders---$70! Can you believe it? We have been toying with the idea of getting steps into the pool for safety reasons with the kids. So, we now own pool steps. Not really what I planned on spending my money on but when God gives you lemons....
Me--Well, the update on me is pretty much summed up in one word. Worry. I worry about EVERYTHING. I worry about the pool and safety around it. I worry about if I will ever find a job that will be EXACTLY what I need, I worry about flying to Disney World (I hate flying) and I worry about not wanting to hide from my family by day 2 b/c I am sick of them. (We are going with my mom, dad, sister, brother in law, 2 nieces, mother in law and father in law). (ps...what was I thinking???) Don't get me wrong, I love them to pieces but not all at once and not for 7 straight days. I am sure we will have a blast but the thought of it....I guess just scares me.
So, that is my summary. I have no new pictures b/c I am at work and don't have my camera with me but I PROMISE to post new ones soon.
