That Quitting Feeling

You know that feeling when you and your significant other no longer have jobs?

It's official.
Both Melissa and I quit. Today was our last day of work for both of us. Well I guess Melissa still has a few hours left in her shift. But I clocked out at noon.

Now that we aren't working, we plan on celebrating with some Ramen Noodle soup. Maybe we'll splurge and eat some hotdogs.

I think Channing knows he's going to have to step up to contribute. Just a little bit ago he came inside, grabbed his backpack of tools, and headed outside to start working on his bike. Somebody has to bring home the bacon (although he refuses to eat bacon...or anything that isn't bread really).

There are a lot of things that I'm thankful for from my experiences at Netmark. Over the last 2.5 years I explored a lot of new areas of technology. Learned a lot about the type of manager that I need & that I need to be. I broke some bad programming habits, and developed a lot of good ones. There often comes a time for each career, or path in life, that you just can't progress any further on that same path. Instead you need to find a new one. I've been needing a new path now for about 6 months. So I'm excited to leave for new opportunities and to live closer to family on the other side of the state.

And lastly, I was very tempted to print this out and tape it to my computer monitors when I left today. But I refrained.

Sad...but true

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin! I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for. Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it? Yes, I am lucky. Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn. Mmmmm. I love the new things Channing learns everyday. The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try. Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic. It was fun. But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day. Oh well. At least half the day was awesome! Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere. And sitting in it....

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school. I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school. Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks. It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework. I guess it's my way of procrastinating. Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing. Above is zucchini. Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche. Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind. There's always some assignment I should be working on. (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.) School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN. I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!

Isaac Robert Hamilton

I've been meaning to write a blog post since Isaac was born. But every time I think about writing a post I get over whelmed with everything I want to write and all the cute pictures I want to share. So this blog post will just be about the day Isaac was born. (Or as much as I can remember! The details are already fading!!) On May 14th, Mother's Day, my mom flew into Boise. Gotta have my momma as my labor coach! Let me just say, I was so happy that this was my last Sunday at church. Don't get me wrong, I love church, but at 39 weeks pregnant I was feeling super uncomfortable sitting or standing for the 3 hours. I was scheduled to be induced the next day, the 15th. After a rough night of not being able to sleep well, mainly because I couldn't shut my brain off, I called the hospital at 6am to make sure they had room for me, and they said to "come on in!" Yay! This was actually going to happen! Justin and I arrived at St Al...
