1/2 way through the week...(thank goodness!)

To me it seems like it should be Saturday already - anyone else feel like this has been a long week already? It's all good, though, there's been good stuff going on this week but I won't be sad when Friday afternoon rolls around.

Update on the week:

First of all, it was so great to see Jack Saturday and Ethan got him to Wilmington all safe and sound. He and Erika have a great apartment for the summer and it's such a neat feeling knowing he's just a couple hours away and Erika will be here in about 10 - 12 days!!!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!! She'll start driving on May 1 and one of her best friends, Jamie, will be driving with her from Idaho. I can hardly wait!!!!

Secondly, Addison had a fun prom night. She commented that before and after the prom were more fun than the prom itself - she wasn't fond of the music they played and the dancing...well, pretty risque' according to her description. (Proud of you, Addi!) She and Wesley looked really nice and he's such a nice young man.

(Quick note of interest: Joey and I used to double-date with Wesley's parents, Karen and Bubba, and it was pretty neat that Addison went to prom with Wesley. Funny how things come around and it's been fun reminiscing about the "old days" when Joey and I were young and sweethearts years ago. Karen, her daughter, and I went out to San Jose' after the kids left for prom - it was a fun night!)

Last but not least, (and trust me my sore muscles are seconding the "not least" phrase!) - we had our first ball game last night and it was SO FUN!!! We lost according to the score but we were definitely winners because we all gave it our best! Fun was had by all and we have improved so much already from the first practice I went to. I have so far to go in my skills but I'm just excited to be playing. I hit both times I was up to bat but the first one was a pop - fly and they caught it. Second time I got out at first but hey, I hit the ball! Woo Hoo!!!! I forgot my camera last night but I'll post photos of tomorrow's game later.

Lastly, work has been busy and we've been anxiously engaged preparing for Nurses' Week coming up beginning May 6. Stacy (one of my bosses) and I are putting together a video for the Gala and it's been neat going around and interviewing/videoing various hospital staff and getting to know some of the staff better. There are so many awesome people at KCMC - we are very fortunate to have such great nurses, physicians, CNAs, and nurse techs at our hospital who take their jobs so seriously and personally in the field of healthcare. High five to so many great and caring people!

Hope everyone has a happy and safe rest of the week!
