The last couple weeks have just been a whirlwind, but I'm happy to say that in this moment I'm just feeling grateful.  I started a new job on Monday; my first every 40 hours a week, big girl type of deal! ;)  It's overwhelming at times; boring at others (orientation, policy, etc.), as I'm sure it will continue to be - overwhelming that is, not boring.  I get the frustration and the pleasure of trying to understand insurance - PPOs, HSAs and whatnot, as I pick out my healthcare plan.  I have my OWN office that I get to decorate and make cozy for my clients.  I have a secretary that is assigned to me to help out with my paperwork, contacting clients and lots of other little stuff.  I met with her today and the whole time she was telling me what she does I was thinking "I have to make sure to be getting gifts for her at holidays to thank her for all she does!" Lots of firsts, which is exciting and scary all at the same time.

In addition to that, Zach is doing awesome! He was transferred to Drake last Friday for rehab and after less than a week there, he's being released to return home tomorrow. AND the mother of Zach's baby girl is in labor, so he will officially be a dad any day now; possibly even the same day he gets to go home. What a freaking amazing gift from God!

Little miss AB turns 18 on Saturday.  So myself and another provider are having a sleepover and then going to lunch at AB's favorite place (HOOTERS) on Saturday with her family and friends.  We may take her out to do some other "of age" activities, at her parents' approval of course.  This month, last week actually, marked my 4 year anniversary of providing care for her.  She was just turning 14 when I started...crazy how time flies!  Speaking of which, my niece turns ONE on the 30th.  We're having a party for her on April 3rd, so be expecting a post with lots of pictures.

Well, I'm done rambling for one night. Gonna spend some time with the big guy and hit the hay. Hope everyone's weeks are blessed!
