Too long

I apologize that it's been so long since I have written. Life is busy to say the least. Chad is FINALLY moving over here to Everett this weekend. I go back on Thursday to load up the budget truck and do the drive back on Saturday. We are so excited to finally get back to being a married couple that lives under the same roof. I have been working a ton and learning more than my brain can absorb. The PICU is a terrifying and wonderful place. I keep getting told that the kids aren't "as sick" as they usually are and I'm thinking geez are you nuts. I had a boy yesterday who we cooled to 90 degrees to protect his brain after cardiac arrest. Can I tell you how weird it is to paralyze and sedate a child while you are keeping him super cold. It was a busy busy day but great learning (as is everyday).

Lets go back and review... firstly pictures are on my dad's camera because our battery was dead and I do not have those pictures yet so they will have to come SOON!!


Two weekends ago Chad came into town for a wedding. Our friends Matt and Sarah finally got married. They are not in Europe for 3 weeks (jealous). Chad was a groomsmen and looked super handsome in his tux. On Saturday we hung out at Point Defiance all day with friends and bbq'd and tried to teach Lincoln to swim. I'll post a hilarious video of that, needless to say he was not a fan of the water....yet!!!
After the park we went to the Tibbitts house for more lake fun and a fire pit. Steve and Trish have a black lab Sunny she is so fun. Anyways Sunny loves the water and will fetch her bumper or frisbees. She will go and go and go I don't know where she gets the engery. Anyways we tried to get Lincoln to go in. Chad even put on a wet suit got in the lake and I pushed Lincoln in, well Lincoln freaked out kept climbing up Chad's body to get out of the water which didn't work so well, and finally got out. After that he wouldn't even go near the dock... poor guy. Later Sunny continue to play and run into the lake from the shore Lincoln would chase her down there and back away as soon as he came near the water until finally he sent in a few steps then ran back out. I think he finally realized all the fun he was missing because he slowly started chasing her farther and farther into the water. Chad and I were pathetic proud "parents" yelling and cheering for our big pup who FINALLY went into the water and learned to swim. We will see how he does next time.

Anyways the next day was the wedding. Poor Chad had to drive back to Spokane and wasn't on the road until 8pm and had class the next morning. I think he got to bed at close to 1am! Not a fun Monday for him.







This last weekend I went to Spokane to pack up the house. There is still a ton of work to get done but I am hoping that we will get it done fast this week.

I think that's the best summary I can do for now. Continue to pray for us as there are so many big changes. Chad starts flight ground school on June 23rd so a fast fast turn over for him. He finishes this week his training for his aircraft mechanic and then he still has to take his written, oral and practical exam to get his FAA license. He has a lot on his plate. Hopefully we get settled in here quickly so he can put all his focus on training. And me well I will just continue to do the work thing!!
