Lando:
something crazy happened this week. We were talking and Landon said, "I love being a doctor. If anyone asks me if they should consider going into medicine... I will tell them ABSOLUTELY!" What? This lightened my load ten fold. The hardest part of medical school, HANDS DOWN, was Landon didn't like anything he did. It wasn't the hours, or the tests, or the applications (though none of those helped), it was that he didn't like it. Hats off to all of you folks who don't like your job or who has a husband not liking his job. That is really taxing.
When Landon chose Anesthesiology it was more a lifestyle choice than a passion. BUT this rotation in the Intensive Care Unit has made him happy and excited. He has really enjoyed it. And he is good at it. Caught internal bleeding and saved someones life this week. Way to go babe! He has liked ICU so much so he is considering doing a fellowship in ICU after residency. I didn't think i'd ever hear Landon say "I love being a doctor." And it happened so fast. And now, now life is really happy. Because no longer do I have to worry about him being unhappy at work.
He had a blast at the BYU game , surprise, surprise, with my family and Jax. They won! Go cougs.
Becs:
Im starting to train for a Marathon. WHAT? I've been really enjoying my half marathon training I decided, what the heck, why not. Im nervous and excited. I ran 12 miles yesterday and thought, "I'm not even half way to a marathon." Then I tried to think about something happy. Costa Vida. Which I ate while watching the BYU game. WHEW! Go cougs.
The Lord is aware of all of us, and a little tender mercy happened over here. I stumbled upon 500 ancestors that don't have their temple work done. Pretty crazy. My ward--which I don't feel extremely close to yet--happened to be doing youth baptisms but didn't have any names to take. Boom! names! So I was able to go with them yesterday and in an hour we baptized & confirmed over 150 people in my family. I'm grateful the Lord knows what we are all struggling with. Im struggling with feeling close to my ward, and He knew that, so He helped me work towards bridging that gap.
Jax:
Big things for this kiddo. Soccer started this week. BYU game. Parent-Teacher night. His teachers name is Miss Denisa. He is really enjoying writing letters right now. We missed him this weekend. He is SOOO helpful with Ty and I didn't even realize it until he was gone. Come back Jax.... pick up tys toys, give him his bottle, throw away the diaper, bring me his clothes, play with him, give him a hug, share that toy, give him a snack, entertain him. WAAAAAAA! People, having one child. Thats hard. And those who say, "Just wait til you have X amount" well they are forgetting what it was like to be the soul source of entertainment, love, and help for one child 24/7. I'll take my two over one every. day.
Ty:
He loves coloring. He looked for Jax in every room this weekend. He has been a little more cuddly. He has the cutest laugh. He is little, but tough as nails. Toughest kid I know. Incredibly independent. Wants to do everything Jaxy does. He has become the cutest toddler. Love him and could eat him up.
