Sacrifices By A Military Wife

Well, we are all done with senior pictures. So glad Renie's high school does this early. This is my favorite picture of many the photographer took. Can't believe we are fast approaching September. This month has flown by so quickly. Larissa is now playing Volleyball with her school, so I am getting excited to watch her play soon. She tells me her weak little body struggles to get the ball over the net, but she seems to be having so much fun with the sport. Renie is well into his Senior year joining clubs and becoming more active with friends. He seems to be having a fun time. He is also getting his college applications in order. I can only hope this year slows down. I am excited for him, but not ready for the day I have to let go. I am happy to be back into my running routine. My goal this year is to run a 1/2 marathon which is scheduled here in Tucson in December. I only wish I had my running buddies here.

I have been behind on my blog due to working almost every day lately. I have picked up another PRN position so life has been busy. Two weeks ago I turned down a very good job as a WIC Director. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. Working full time again was something I am not sure I was quite ready to do yet. I feel my kids still need me and it is nice to be able to be home for them. Plus we justed learned our tour here will be over summer of 2013.

So as for now I am content and love my work schedule. I can only hope this job opportunity will come again at a later time in my career. At the end of the day, it felt good to have been chosen for my dream job.
