Labor Day Fun

Wow! We have been busy busy in the Cole House! Michael and I have been spending some much needed quality time together. We went to a Keith Urban concert a couple of weeks ago with some friends. We got tickets for $3.50 because the Air Force is awesome like that. It was a great end to a fabulous week because I passed my boards!!!! I am officially a registered nurse :) I am currently applying to jobs so please pray that the right doors will open for me...I can't wait to get started! Sadly, my first patient was my sweet daddy. Last week I even went home for a few days because my he was in the hospital. He had shingles for a few weeks and developed pneumonia as well. He was admitted because his fever was staying above 100 for days...aka not good. He will be the first to tell you that he was miserable from both the shingles and pneumonia...and I have never seem him so sick. Thankfully he is much better and at home now. I'm glad I was able to get home to be with my parents. I think I got a taste of how hard life is going to be for us sometimes, because I won't always be able to get home for important things like that. But that is a part of my life now and just something that we all have to accept. But for now, I am glad I was there :)

On another note, we just came to the end of a fabulous Labor Day Weekend with my brother and the Fry's! Zack got us a late wedding gift which we put into full force this weekend...a Big Green Egg. Let me just say that it is one amazing grill! We slow cooked ribs all day Saturday and then did hamburgers on Sunday night. Ahhh just talking about it makes me hungry. Michael is so excited to try out some new food on it...and I seriously don't think that it's possible to mess anything up on that grill. We tried a meatloaf (which I usually hate) and it was amazing!

Here's what we've been up to:

Livi loved Zoe!! So precious :)

We took the kids to the awesome playground on base.

Jack loved it! He thinks that Michael flies every plane we see :)

I love getting to see family...but it's always hard when everyone leaves. My brother actually just moved to Memphis this week for work...so I'm excited to have him just a couple hours away! Michael and I are so blessed to have such amazing family! Also Michael's dates for UPT got moved up to February! So, we are on "casual status" until then :) He's going hunting this week and then my parents and grandparents are coming into town this weekend! So until another post, hope everyone is have a great start to the fall!
