It is Official!!

I am enrolled at UNLV!! I guess it is about time I got my BA. I have been wanting to do it for 10 years. The timing always seems wrong for things like this. Now is no exception. I have all the same fears and apprehensions about committing to being a full time student with three kids, one car, and a husband with the craziest rotating shift I have ever even heard of but, here goes nothing, and everything. I am starting to get the little excited butterflies that come with the start of any new adventure... wish me luck!

So Busy

I thought summer was supposed to be lazy and full of nothing. I have not found this to be the case in our little part of the world. I suppose I wouldn't have it any other way. We have no big news to report which is usually a good thing. Oh, well I am now a full time student at UNLV. I start in the fall. Everyone keeps asking me what I want to study and the truth is, I just want to get a job that is worth my time. I will be getting a multidisciplinary studies degree. BA. It will qualify me for a lot more than I currently could hope for. I will keep posting as I decide what to do when I grow up....whenever that will be..

Woah!

What happened? I think I blinked. Christmas? Over. New years? over. Now we have just celebrated Soren's 9th birthday and on Monday we will celebrate little Hazel turning 4! It is amazing how busy and yet how peaceful it has all been. We also remember Nathan's father as it is the anniversary of his passing 4 years ago today.
I have been thinking of him. He meant a lot to our family. It is hard to watch Nathan grieve each year. We have been through so much since this day in 2008 it seems like a lifetime ago. It also has gone by in an instant. I'm hoping the rest of the Eames clan is healing from his passing and is spending today remembering all the good times we shared with Ron. I know he looks down on all of us with love.
He is ever in our hearts and minds. The kids reminisce often about their special Grandpa moments and we sing the Welsh fighting song almost every night before bed. It was the song I most often heard Ron sing and he used it to put his grandchildren to sleep.
We miss him.
Happy memories mixed with a touch of sorrow. Is it not the way of most things? I am glad to have known Ron Eames. I hope my two older children will remember how he loved them. I hope my youngest will hear of him and know he loved her too even though in this world they never met. His death being sandwiched between two such important dates in our lives is both a blessing and a hardship. But each time I think of him and my two sweet January babies, I smile. And that is a legacy for which I can thank Ron.
