Graduated, Moved, now on to Job!

I tried to blog the other day but was interrupted by something (or someone!!) and couldn't finish.

Basically, though, I have gotten an internship in the ICU in Eugene and we moved down here in about two weeks time! We've been here for about three weeks now, so it's a little less crazy, but things have been very crazy. There is lots to do with children in Eugene but we miss our small town! Our grocery checkers knew us by name, would comment on the kids, and the librarians were actually sad that we were moving away.

 I was just interrupted again, so this is how I'm blogging now (Aftasie insisted I sit in front of her, "on [her] lap.") And yes, I'm still sippin' on my coffee (rewarmed the second time) and not dressed yet.

Sooo....very exciting, this internship coming up! I'm nervous, naturally, but it's going to be GREAT. I've always enjoyed going back to the school in the fall and I feel as though it'll be good to have a challenge. Not that being home with the kids is not a huge challenge! Porter has been doing computer work from home, so we see him at lunch and after work, which sometimes stretches into the evening.

When I got to a gathering at a friend's house here my friend said "Look, Bonnie's all grown up!" I can't believe how things have changed since I lived here 4 years ago. I was skinny, kid-less, doing housekeeping for a living, pretty spoiled (not that all people without kids are spoiled, but I thought I was "busy" and basically did nothing and complained about it all of the time!!). Now I have two kids, a college degree, a career on the horizon (actually make that smack dab in front of my face, since I start in less than two weeks), and I'm four years older. And hopefully a little wiser, though that remains to be seen.

One last picture, since this is what I was doing before I sat down to blog (blanket train -- we have wood floors and linoleum now!)
