Total Eclipse of the heart

Hockey season is upon us and that means life will be getting busier than even the holiday season will be.  The second guest room WILL be completed by the end of October and I'll post before and after photos.  This will be my project, as in I am decorating and Shawn is doing all the labor.  We bought and planted an Autumn Blaze Maple in the front yard and I vowed I'd plant a placenta when our baby is born, Shawn is just happy I don't plan on eating it like some women opt to do, he couldn't deal he said.  We are doing the last of our fertility testing Monday the 5th on his side so we know we have the best odds possible of having our dream come true baby.

Shawn found something called a balance bike and given our child's likely propensity for all things athletic like their father, we can introduce the Wishbone 3-in-1 which converts from tricycle to full-size balance bike.  Shawn is excited about the probability that we like our friends can get our child excited about triathlons because here in Montana, kids start out competing at an extremely young age.  So running, swimming and biking will help aid in a very well rounded child with finely honed motor skills.  I think I will be the creative parent, let's pretend play, let's bake or build with Lincoln Logs and I will create multiple reading nooks throughout our large home to foster that reader's passion to curl up and while away the hours in another world beyond our own.

I adore my job at the hospital and my boss and coworkers are a delight to work with, I feel I've really hit my stride.  I'm leaving the past in my rearview mirror, I'll remember where I've been, but will forever be grateful for where I am headed as the view outside my window has significantly improved!  Everything happened as it should've; I see that now.
