Busy Bee!

Wow... sorry it has been so long!

Things have been so busy--I feel that as soon as I wake up, its time to get right back into bed. Work has been great, but a lot of work. My caseload has been filling up a lot faster than I expected, and the paperwork...well... thats another post in itself! I have been seeing a lot of interesting kids; lots of syndromes/drugs/etc. It has been more emotionally exhausting then I realized... I thought I was prepared, but sometimes houses I go into just shock me. I'm just glad I can do something to help!

Went to a training in Fairbanks.... and well, there is not much to report about Fairbanks--it's not a "must see." It was nice to hang out with people from work, so I was glad for that! I did do a hike around a bird observatory, so that was interesting. I got bit up by mosquitos, so a bummer, and the mosquitos here are HUGE!

Last weekend was summer solstice, so downtown was jammed! It was cold and rainy though, so we didn't stay too long; but it was cool to see all the action. It is still really hard to get used to the sun all the time; sleeping is a challenge.. although now with all these kids I am seeing, it is getting much easier to get to sleep!

I did get my first big girl paycheck; and I bought what I always wanted: a pair of puma shoes. I found them for 75% off, so they were only like 20 bucks! Too good to be true. Now with my shoes and Subaru Forester, I have all I have ever wanted... well.. excpet for Cubs Season Tickets!

Aunt Eileen did send me a Blackhawks Championship T-Shirt, so needless to say, I have been wearing that almost everyday!

I am taking more pictures, and will put more up soon I promise! I will put them on Facebook too; it's so funny driving to Target with these massive mountains in the backgroud--no big deal, just another day in Anchorage!

I miss you all

Hug a Pug!
