Keep on Trekking...


"Life is Beautiful!" That's what I keep reminding myself. Ev and I are doing well, and we recognize that we're on the healing path. We're having fewer and fewer bad days, and our good days are getting even better. Our family and friends are such a big help and we're so grateful for their support. Autumn, Doug, Bobby and Morgan are always close by and very good at lifting our spirits. We visit Scotlin's grave most days, which helps, but we find the most comfort in attending the temple. I think that Heavenly Father allows him to be there with us because we need to feel close to him. To learn more about LDS temples, click here. In other news, I start back to work this week. I'm excited to see my friends at work again, but I'm a little nervous. I've been in to work a few times and, for the most part, people just ignore me. I know that people don't know what to say to me, so they just look the other way when they see me. I guess time will make it easier. I like talking about Scotlin, so maybe I'll just break the ice by letting people know that it's okay to talk about him. After all, most people don't know how he died and want to ask, but don't want to be insensitive. Wish me luck!

Blogging?

My two older sisters are blogging fanatics. At least...they keep up multiple blogs. I admire them, actually, because I'm semi-computer-illiterate, and blogging is the last think I thought I'd get the hang of. We'll take it for a spin and see how it goes.

A little about me, you say? I am a student. Right now my major is Human Movement Science but I won't graduate before we move. I plan on attending nursing school, although I don't know where. We'll find out where we're moving to in the summer and then we'll decide.
I am a wife. My wonderful husband of a year and a half is applying for and interviewing at medical schools around the country, and is waiting to hear back about those. Wherever he gets in is where we'll go.
I am a mother. My sweet baby boy was born in November. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with him when the cord wrapped around his neck and he passed away before I delivered him. He is my favorite little angel and I feel so blessed to be his mommy.
I am a CNA. I work in a nursing home and rehabilitation center for the elderly. I've worked there for 2 1/2 years and still enjoy it (most days). I'm lucky enough to have my husband working with me for the past 2 years. It's nice to go to work but still be with him. (Especially on the rare occasions they let us work together.)
As far as a first post, I'd say this is pretty good. My sisters will be so proud!
