Family fun

What a wonderful weekend. It flew by way too fast, but it was a lot of fun and a great way to lead into this week. My sorority sister Becky is coming in to visit Wed. and Thurs. with her family and then on Saturday I'm off to see more sorority sisters at a baby shower in Indy. I am very excited, but it just proves how much I am growing up that I am getting invitations to baby showers and weddings. I've been to ones in the past, but now the invitations are being addressed to me and not my mom.

Back to this past week/weekend. Work got a little crazy with people taking days off and calling in sick, but that just means I had the chance to get more experience and show that I'm willing to come in and help when I can. It also meant less sleep and working double shifts between the doctor's office and station. O well, I survived and am grateful I have a place to go to when so many people are struggling to find a job.

Luckily, I'm getting use to the daytime sleeping and planning ahead to make sure I don't crash in the middle of my shift. Sadly, my car isn't as reliable. Friday my back passenger tire blew out putting a kink in my schedule. Not only was it flat, but it was completely destroyed and couldn't be patched up. I ended up getting all four tires replaced because the tred on them was terrible!

I still found time to go out and catch up with friends and of course family.
My dad's brother came in from Pennsylvania and gave us a reason to all get together. It was the first time I've seen my dad and his brothers together.
I also got to see my cousins who I probably haven't seen in over 8 years - we're still trying to figure out how long it's been. Over all it was a great time - lots of story telling and laughing.
