Since my last post I have:
- Resigned from my position as Church Secretary Extraordinaire (1), renewed my teaching license (2), re-enlisted myself on the Substitute Teacher List (3), restyled myself with a quick visit to The Loft (4), and re-entered the classroom,
- Traveled to Iowa City for a "second opinion" with the baby doctors (5) and welcomed Incredible Little Individual #8 into Casa de Mezger, (6)
- Celebrated the lives of the incredible Marian "Gram" Mason and "Aunt" Nancy Ohl, (7)
- and hand-delivered ILI#8 back to his mom for another successful reunification. (8)
I've also:
- Been to the pool 3 times, (9)
- Read 2 books, (10)
- Spent quality time with quality friends, (11)
- Had 1 emotional, "Where is my life headed!?!" meltdown, (12)
- and discovered a new favorite place in the Old Market of Omaha. (13)
In reflection, the last 10 weeks and 3 days has been quite the ride.
Highs.
Lows.
In-betweens.
Life: Finding joy in the ebbs and flows.
You didn't honestly think I was going to title this post as I did and not include this did you!?
