Dave has one more week of his summer internship at Pineview Transitional Care in Riverdale. He is enjoying it so much and is sad that he has to go back to school! He is getting very anxious(almost as much as me! :)) to be done with school and just be able to have a "normal" life! He has done so well there and has impressed the director of the rehab center that they have already talked about offering him a position...in Henderson, NV...um, we shall see! Anyway, he starts school the end of August again. BUT, this is his third and final year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe we are almost done. This fall he will have his last semester of classes (which isn't too many credit hours, he will go mostly on tues, and thurs and one class on monday...which means he has all day wednesdays and fridays off! Yeah!) Then next spring he will do another 12 week internship and no classes, then will be done around April 2011. I can't believe we have almost made it. It has been a long two years, I feel like we have sacrificed a lot but it will all be worth it in the end.
I am still working full time at Davis Hospital on the medical floor. It is getting a little rough for me. I am just loosing a lot of energy lately. I think two years of not getting hardly any sleep is really catching up to me. I pray I can continue what I do for another 8 months. I am hoping one day I can work in the woman's center (ex. Labor and Delivery, nursery, etc) or I really would like to try the NICU and see if I like it. Unfortunately, rarely are there job openings in these departments, unless I want to drive to SLC to work. No thanks! Oh well, maybe someday! Anyway, that is about all that I do. I work, try and sleep whenever I can, take care of Josh and try and take care of my husband, oh and keep up with all of the household duties as well! Agh, I am tired! :)
Josh is doing well. He is honestly just the best little boy I could have ever dreamed of having. I always say that the Lord definitely sent him specifically to me at this particular time, because if he were to have sent me a high maintenance child right now, I know I couldn't handle it! Thank you Josh for being such a fun and good little boy. He is growing like a weed. He has really thinned out, but is still kind of short! :) He has loved going swimming at Surf-N-Swim in Layton, spending a lot of time with his Grandma and Grandpa Fisher, loves being around any other people. He is very social, and is amazing at sharing things with others. He absolutely LOVES going to church and even more so, nursery. His nursery leaders all tell me he is so low maintenance and loves playing with everyone in his class. They say if another kid comes and steals a toy he was playing with, he will just go find another toy. What a good kid! :) Josh is beginning to FINALLY talk more. For a while there I really couldn't get him to say much, but now, he really is saying a new word everyday. I was very worried there for a while. The only thing that drives me crazy is, he call Dave "cheese" instead of "dad". Seriously, I have NO idea what possess him to call him that. Just one day he started saying it, and we can't get him to stop. What a weirdo! :) Anyway, Josh is growing and learning so much all of the time. I love him more and more every day.
Some of the little activities we have done is, obviously we go swimming, but one day Dave and I wanted to escape the heat so we drove up to Pineview Reservoir and just hung out for a while. Come to find out, Josh LOVED it. He kept saying "mama, rocks in lake". And then he would throw all of the rocks he could find into the lake. He loved it, and loved the weather. It was perfect! Anyway, here are some pics from that one particular night.

The Gray's (don't mind my appearance...didn't get ready that day)Well, I will try and post later in August. We are headed out to Bakersfield the second week of August to go visit the in-laws! It will be so nice to get away. Oh, and yes, I turn 30 in two weeks...um, it totally sucks! I'm officially old! Oh well!
