6 Months of Life in the Fast Lane

Wow!  So I haven't posted anything in 6 months.  How did THAT happen!?  Well I can tell you it happened because my priorities fell somewhere in between work, sleep, eat, study, Nashville, kids, house, health and holidays.  It has been a crazy ride but I am so glad to say that I am HALF WAY DONE with grad school.  It is going very well despite the way I feel my world is crashing down on top of me sometimes.  Right now I am focusing on getting my clinicals done.  I am learning a ton and still have so much more to learn before taking boards.

Jackson, Jadon and I did get to take a short little ski trip to Winter Park, CO.  It was beautiful and the trip was fabulous.  We had a fantastic time and I still want to move there! :P

Jackson, my first baby graduates in 2 months!  How did it come so quickly?  Lots of college decisions will be made soon.  I'm so proud of him!  Being a teenager is tough and being a parent of a teenager is so exhausting.  It's totally worth it though. :)


Avery cut all of her hair off.  I was so sad...but there are worse things she could have done.  Of course she is still totally gorgeous...she could shave it off and still be beautiful!  She will be having foot surgery to correct a painful bunion on April 2nd.  She will be on crutches, non-weight bearing, for at least 6 weeks.  She is hoping to take up track in the fall if this does the trick and eliminates the pain.  Please be in prayer for her because this will be a rather challenging time for her (and me and Jack!).




Ivy just started softball and is so excited.  She absolutely loves it.  For this season (of life...not ball) I am again, only a cheerleader during games.  Jack will have to handle practices and such because of my commitment to school and work taking so much of my time.



Jadon isn't doing anything right now.  He wants to play football this fall :|.  Jack and I are against that idea because he is so small.  He loves playing sports with his friends.  He just wants to fit in and feels left out.  I wish he could find something he loves that was a good fit for him.  He loves anything active. Any ideas?  This is what happens when he gets ahold of my phone...




Jack is my super hero.  He takes such good care of our family.  I have had to make tough decisions about my job that have brought me down in so many ways.  He is my anchor and the anchor of this family.  He cooks, grocery shops, cleans, does laundry, pays the bills, carts the kids everywhere they need to go and packs me a lunch each day that I work.  With me being gone once a month for school he is a single parent and takes care of everything.  In the midst of this craziness he has managed to build me a covered porch around my new hot tub he bought me for Christmas! He is also finishing the rest of the basement.  God has blessed me so much by giving me such a loving husband who loves me enough to do all that!



Well I know this was just an update and it's nothing earth shattering or too interesting.  I have been on spring break and finally had a chance to breathe and thought I would leave a note for those who cared.  Hope you all know that I haven't left the earth or anything and although I'm not on Facebook much, I do exist and our little "Moody Mansion" hasn't disappeared!
