| Doesn't he look excited! |

| There it is! |
So it happened, the dreaded first
day of school for Chris. . . and now our life is over! Just kidding, only Chris’s life is over ha
ha! He had a good first week and found
out that he might like his instructors more than he originally thought he
would. He had met them for an
orientation day and told me they were old crabby women, but I think his opinion
changed after his first day. Even though
nursing school has changed since I went there, it seems the course load is
still the same, way too much and very overwhelming! I have to say, I do not envy the next 20
months of Chris’s life. But hopefully
with faith and prayers we will make it through!
Our trip to Tucson was so much
fun! However, Tyler decided he was going
to be sick and make grammie take him to the doctor for his fever of 102
degrees, which had been running off and on for the last 24 hours. It was the first time he had to go to the
doctor for being sick so I felt really bad that I wasn’t there for him as his
mom, but I knew he was in good hands.
Turns out, he probably had strep.
The doctor didn’t run the actual test because they can get false
negative results, and he still would have treated him anyway. So Tyler got his first round of
antibiotics. Luckily, no allergies!
So while my mom was dealing with my
sick child, me and Chris were enjoying ourselves in Tucson. We checked into the resort on Sunday and just
relaxed and hung out. It is amazing how
much better you can talk to each other without a ten month old pulling at your
leg every five minutes. Monday, we slept
in and went to breakfast at Schlomovetos (don’t think I spelled it right!) and
it was delicious! I got the stuffed French
toast and it was enough to feed someone for a week! So yummy, my mouth waters thinking about
it. Chris got the grand slam and
polished if off and agreed it was one of the best breakfast places he had
eaten.
We then went to the mall and
wandered around and did some window shopping.
However, we didn’t really buy anything.
Chris said he felt bad buying things when he had spent so much money on
school things (scrubs, stethoscope, shoes, books, ect- I think I might be
rubbing off on him!). I did buy a case
for my cell phone, which I was in need of since the on mine practically melted
of. After shopping we went to dinner
with Chris’s brother Jon and Jessica at the Hub. It was a new place that opened in downtown
Tucson and again, it was very yummy! We
decided if we ever need somewhere to eat, Jon definitely has the best suggestions.
Mom and Dad met us back in Chandler
with Tyler the next day and we were so excited to see him. Even though we had only been away less than
48 hours, I really missed that kid! I
leave him all the time when I go to work at night, but it was so much harder to
leave him with mom and dad. Not that I
didn’t have total confidence in their ability to watch him, but it was just
hard to leave. Not to mention that he
was sick with a fever and mom had to take him to the doctor- but he recovered
quickly thank goodness. I have to say
that I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents who were willing to watch
Tyler while we got away. I don’t know
how my parents do it, but they are constantly helping others and never ask for
anything in return.

| Love this boy! |
This year was my first mother’s day
with Tyler here and it was so much fun!
Chris treated me to my one of my favorite dinners, salmon with squash
and quinoa, so yummy! Him and Tyler gave
me some much needed exercise shorts. We
have been more faithful about working out so I have been going through my
exercise clothes a lot more frequently, so I was very excited to get this much
needed gift!
Tyler is walking and running at
times now, and we aren’t far behind! He
is into EVERYTHING!! He loves to get
into the bathroom with me while I get ready and take everything out of the
cupboards, or take my brush or climb in and out of the tub. He has learned that he can open doors, which
I am not a fan of lol! He has locked
himself in a room a couple of times and it is too funny to just hear this
little voice screaming in the room because he can’t get out! He is too cute and so much fun. I love rocking him to sleep and singing him
primary songs while he falls asleep. Just
being able to hold him and cuddle him is so fun, I can’t get enough of it. With Chris being in school four days a week
we have a lot more mother and son time and even though I miss Chris being home,
I love and enjoy the time I get to be home and take care of him.
