Nursing School

For those of you who don't know I start the nursing program at MCC on the 19th. I'm so excited, but a little anxious about leaving my babies in the hands of someone else for part of the day. However, Wes gave all of us blessings last night and I have to tell you that the peace I feel now is wonderful! In his blessing he reminded me of some wonderful promises that will come to me and my family as I receive my education. He also gave me the reassurance I needed to know that my children will be in okay.
Then today as I was eating watermelon with the boys, the thought crossed my mind- Thank goodness for nursing school because I have been making the most of the little moments.
I know that sounds silly, but ever since I found out I got in the program I have been letting the less important things fall by the wayside and allowing myself to do things I wouldn't normally do, like watch a movie with Steele in the afternoon when I should be preparing for dinner or having foam sword fights with the boys when they should be in bed. Even just eating lunch with my boys or holding Lily has become more special.
Let's just say our home has been filled with lots of random dancing, tickling, running in the halls and laughing. I love it and although I will be a very busy lady, I still plan on focusing more on the little moments in my life which in my opinion are the most important moments.
