I haven't been on here for a while....

It's been a while since I last posted. I almost forgot how to get in here. Anyways, what have I been up to? Well, Nikki is 15 months old now. She's a lot of fun and from what I can tell so far, she's got a goofy sense of humor. She's silly, she likes laughing at herself and others, enjoys it when you joke around with her, and loves it when you smother her with big kisses. Nick and I love her so much. Actually, we sometimes argue over who has kissed her more times. Frankly, I think I've kissed her about 20,000 more times than Nick has. :) Nick is still busy with work and school. As far as the latter one is concerned, I think I'm actually starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know how it would be with him out of school. Weekends with no studying? I don't know if I can handle him being home more. :) Kidding...I can't wait for that.

As far as work, since moving to the Air Quality section, I've found it to be so much more rewarding. I'm learning, I'm being challenged, I'm doing work that is meaningful (well, at least to me anyway). I'm so busy, that I no longer even use my MP3 player anymore (and this is a good thing). I hate being bored and doing the same old thing over and over again. I hate days that seem to never end. I love it that my Franklin Planner has tasks and todo lists written all over it.

I feel comfortable in my skin. Sure, there are days when I feel like crap, and I would love it if I can lose 10 pounds, but for the most part, I like me. With all my faults and everything, I like who I am. I love my Fridays off, because it allows me some time to do stuff that I want to get done (ie. errands, housework, relaxing, and maybe even a nap). Nikki keeps me busy and Nick is awesome about taking her out to give me a break. Those breaks bring some sanity back and allows me to decompress a bit. I like my freedom and when you have a rambunctious little one running around, you lose most of that. But I appreciate my breaks, my quiet moments, and I love my family beyond words. So far things are good.
