Wow how the time flies

So, apparently I haven't been in here since before I went back to work after having Mackenzie.... almost 3 years. Yes, Mackenzie will be 3 in just a few short weeks. A lot has changed since the last time I wrote in here. Let's see... Josh turned 30 :-) Last October we gained a nephew- Kolebe. In November I travelled to Denver, CO to orient for a new job. I am now working for Air Methods/ LifeNet SC as a flight nurse. We finally got to meet Kolebe in March when we went home to say goodbye to my Mammam. My Mammam was an incredible woman. She was never afraid to speak her mind, she was always cleaning (to the point that Pap would yell at her), a fantastic cook and loved me like there was no other. She left some of the most amazing gifts. She spent most of her married life compiling memories of her and Pap into two books that she presented him for their 50th Anniversary. I have absolutely loved reading the details of their lives together. They truly were in love. Along with this, I've been able to work on our family tree which was something I always intended to show her, but I guess I can't now. She kept lots of interesting papers like her hospital bill from one of many miscarriages, the deed to their home, the permits for the electrical wiring and many death cards form funerals. I also received her and Pap's wedding and engagement rings. I had her engagement ring resized and rhodium coated so it's white gold and for our anniversary (fifth) Josh had my promise ring and her anniversary band combined into a very beautiful new ring for me. I think about her often and suddenly feel better about anything that's stressing me out.
