Juntos Para Sempre

Today was Bryce's off Saturday so he didn't have to work his normal job but he signed up to work the Jazz game and so it was just us girls hanging out today. I had a fun day hanging out with my little one. I honestly am so amazed at what a sweet, happy baby she is.

When I have time alone it makes me think about things going on in my life. As of Thursday I am officially part-time at King's Medical. This was not my idea and makes me a little nervous because we just bought a house and are paying a babysitter 2 days a week on top of other expenses. It is also a decision that in my mind does not make a whole lot of sense. When they let my boss go and decided have our boss be a woman that works out of her home clear across the country in Florida it didn't make any sense to me either. Most of the decisions that this company has made have not made any sense to me but I am hoping that something good comes out of this and it will be a chance for me to spend less time away from my family. My last 15 months at King's has been a bumpy road to say the least but it has enabled me to learn a few things.


1. I want to be a positive person.
2. It is so extremely easy to find other peoples' faults. The more you practice the better you are at it. However, it is harder to recognize my own and to try to be forgiving and understanding rather than griping. I don't feel any better about myself or the situation after I have complained.
3. People may seem angry and rude but are mostly just scared and in pain. 99% of the time I can talk someone out of their bad mood and their fear of the unknown. I used to be afraid of the mean, ornery people that came into our clinic but now I understand them a little better.
4. Good things can come out of bad situations
5. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what sort of crap I went through at work, I am blessed to be able to come home to the two sweetest faces in the world.


I'm not quite sure where this little bump will take me. Maybe to another job, maybe not, but hopefully it will be for the better.

This is one of the faces I have been coming home to lately. I think she learned it from Bryce and I. It is my favorite. She does it when she is focusing on something, when she is trying to get our attention and sometimes she will mimic us when we do it.

Here are the two of them together. I always knew Bryce would be a good dad and so far he has done nothing but prove me right. He loves to play with Jayda and is still such a little kid at heart.

I took this today when we were hanging out.

Today she was playing on the floor and she grabbed her blanket and rolled over like this!

On Wednesday after I got off work the three of us went to the mall. We went into a few stores and then went into Icing by Claire's to check out what they had since I can't wear any earrings that hang down at all or they will be yanked out fiercely by the munchkin. We also checked out the two girls working there to see if they seemed competent enough to pierce Jayda's ears. After sizing them up we ended up letting the manager go ahead and do it. It was nerve-wracking but we are glad that we did it. She looks adorable with them in and doesn't even notice that they are there.
