catch up...

well its been forever since I have posted! Its been a crazy 8 months! Randan was gone all summer for his ROTC stuff which he did awesome at and blew everyone away. I did school through summer and stayed really busy between full time school, clinicals, and being mommy. Emma had a blast with family and cousins! We went camping a few times had a great Christmas and thats about it, school has kind of consumed us. We love spending time together as a family and try to enjoy the little things. We found out we were pregnant with a sweet little boy and couldn't be happier. Its something I've been looking forward to for quite a while. I finished school in December and after taking my board exams the next few weeks I will be a Registered Respiratory Therapist! Pretty exciting to have that done. I'm going to wait on employment and just enjoy the new baby and we will see where we are at after that. Pregnancy being type 1 diabetic is always a ride. It throws it for a loop and often times feels like a full time job. I'm so grateful for advancements in medicine that I am able to manage it and have such good control. Baby is healthy and doing great! We're getting down to the last few weeks and I am more than ready to meet this cute little guy! Randan is on his last semester and will graduate with his bachelors in business and a minor in military science. As well as becoming an officer in the Army. He has done awesome and is more than ready to be done with school! He has been shooting and reloading a lot and loves doing it! Miss Emma... man that girl is as awesome as they come! She is getting so big!! She loves going to school and dance which she does twice a week for a few hours. She loves learning new things and teaching/showing them to anyone who will watch and listen. She had her first couple dance performances, I was so nervous, not knowing how she would do. She blew me away! She was so dang cute up there on that stage and she loved doing it! From the makeup to the costume to performing in front of everyone on a big stage she took it all in and constantly asks when her next one is! She loves to sing dance color and do anything crafty. She loves making people laugh and really is pretty dang funny! What a blessing it is to be that girls mom, not sure how I got so lucky! She asks every day when her baby brother will be here and I know she will be a great big sister!
