Power Shift

Tomorrow I am headed into the field for 11 days! I will be working over the Thanksgiving Holiday, sadly. I am looking forward to experiencing the holiday out in the field, especially all the food we will be getting on Thursday. The not great news is that it is supposed to rain on Thanksgiving and snow on Saturday:( I spent my last off-shift in Frisco visiting the Texas Washburns. It was a great week, and an extended off-shift. It was nice to get some time in with everyone before things get crazy with our new family member coming! I got to attend a baby shower for sus, take drew toy shopping, go with ally climbing and my favorite thing, sit around the house spending time with everyone! This is my longest shift I will have to work for a while, so say some prayers that I am able to hold on for 3 days longer than usual! I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and now I miss you all and will be thinking of you! 

Climbing with Ally

Today ally and I went to a climbing gym in Frisco and we had the best time!!! Here are a few pics..i think she is a natural!

I had the best time at home this last off-shift! I of course, knew I would but this went over what I thought it would. I got to spend some quality mom/daughter time, so basically we went shopping around town and eating at my favorite local spots. I also got to attend Avery Jane's 3rd birthday party! I got her a tent with a sleeping bag, of course, but she and luke ended up loving it and played it in while I was there! My highlight would have to be going to the game on Sunday! The titans pulled it out, and it was so much fun to go back to something that is like second nature to me. I got to see a lot of people I used to see every weekend. It was nice to see that people have missed me and think about how I'm doing while I'm gone. I have discovered that one of my favorite feelings is knowing that I am missed. It was hard leaving again, but a little easier because I realize how easy it is for me to just come home and slide right back into that environment. I think when I go home and feel like an outsider, that's when I will be nervous. I'm headed into the field for 9 days this shift...my first long shift of the holiday season. So, I won't be out on tuesday, it will be wed. Then I'll be headed to Frisco!!!

Back to the Desert

I am getting ready to go back to Utah after a great visit to my Home! I got to see the Titans stay undefeated! and got to enjoy halloween with the kids. It was great to come home and have that great comfort that comes from being where you feel most comfortable! I will put some pictures up when I get back to St. George tonight!

Two Things

Well....The PHILLIES WON THE WORLD SEIRES!!!!

Second of all, I am home in Franklin!! I am so happy to be laying in my bed at the Pike. Everything kind of caught up to me in Utah this last week and I needed to come on home and be around some familiar people and family. My heart just about burst when I got to hug avery jane and luke after 2 months of not seeing them. It made me feel amazing that they hadn't lost interest in aunt jess. I am really looking forward to enjoying being at home for a few days and just relaxing. I think it is going to be a great off shift!!!

Go Phils!

The phillies are one game away from winning the world series! Mom and I were lucky enough to be there for opening day this season! We must have been their good luck!

Surprise Trip For Dad

This last off-shift I went to Arkansas and Kansas City to see mom and dad. It was a surprise for dad who had NO idea! It was great to see mom and dad and Grandaddy and Vangie. I was happy that our surprise went off without a hitch. I also got to see my first Titans game of the year, and enjoyed a butt kicking of the Chiefs!! Here are a few pics from the trip.
