Baby Shower

Last week I had two friends throw me fantastic baby showers. One that was attended by old friends and family and the other with ladies from my ward. Both were super fun and made me filled loved.

 

My two great high school friends, Kayla and Shawna, put together a great shower with an awesome pancake bar (of which I unfortunately have no pictures :( )

It was so fun to see some many ladies who were great examples of Mothers to me while I was growing up, there to support me.

 

My good friend Mindi, who I have been working with in Wolves, put together a fun shower last Thursday night. It was so fun to hang out with all my girlfriends.

 

25 Days Left!

Day 25: Cleaned my house. It may not sound like a me moment, but it really needed to be done and now I feel so good walking around a clean house :).

Day 26: Went to The Orange Patch and found myself a super cute Halloween necklace. I also happened upon a bag marked 75% off, it  will make a super dipper bag :)!

Day 27: Had a baby shower with all the wonderful girls in my ward. I love you all, thanks for making it so fun!

Day 28: Decorated Halloween cookies with friends.

Day 29: Baked the sugar cookies.

Day 30: Worked out and make sugar cookie dough. Eat way too much dough, but couldn’t help it, it’s sooo good!

Hamilton Senior Night

Friday night was a long anticipated night for one of our Nero patients. I’ll call her Mary. Mary’s son plays for Hamilton High School’s football team, and on the night of  their homecoming the  senior football players are escorted out onto the field to meet their coaches by their parents. 5 years ago Mary had a brain tumor removed that left her in very disabled state. However, with lots of work she has made remarkable progress in the last year. She has begun speaking a little and walking very well. It was her goal to walk her son out on the field. So with the help of her sister, her son, and one of out therapy techs Mary was able to reach her goal, and walk with her son! It was so amazing, and wonderful for her and her family.

 

I am really going to miss my job. The patients are so inspiring! I’ve been so privileged to be part of their lives.
