February- March happenings

Hello readers! I hope you have been well.

Last month was the month for babies. One of my cousins and my sister-in-law had their babies on February 15th. I also had another cousin announce her pregnancy. Yay for babies! My nephew Bentley was born prematurely at 27 weeks. He is growing stronger everyday, yet everyday is still a battle. Please keep him in your prayers.

Last week the unthinkable happened. I got a call to fill in as a dental assistant. I don't think it will turn into a job as the assistant he has, has been with him from day one. However I do think they will call me if she ever wants a vacation or is sick or something. I swear he was the nicest dentist I have ever worked for. He might have been frustrated but he never showed it. He was so patient. I feel beyond blessed to have filled in. They called me from my resume that I turned into them when we first moved here over a year and a half ago. Not to mention that my paycheck for 3 days was more than my last one that was for 2 weeks. (I dont get very many hours, but still..) It was a great experience and made me realize that I do want to be a dental assistant again one day.
I think about volunteering, however I know that I want to be a stay at home mom until our kid goes to kindergarten. That is pretty important to me. (No, I'm not even pregnant. We are still trying.) We have just under a year and a half left here. I am happy where I am at the gym now. This fill in position was just what I needed to give me hope about the future though. Maybe I will have to be settled and James may be retired from the military but I know that I can do it. I can and will be a dental assistant in the future. It feels great knowing that.

Today we rearranged furniture! I'm so excited! I have never liked the way we had it but it seemed like our only option at the time. Now we have two rooms instead of one giant room. We got a dinning table off of craigslist and I wanted the carpets cleaned and furniture arranged before we brought it in. I love how it feels now. Much more like home. Now I can have company over and everyone should be able to have a seat! Mission accomplished.

Well I hope you have a great week! Maybe I'll be back before the month is up!
