Finally I am returing

Well its been about 3 months, but has seemed like forever since I have blogged. I am finally back to blogging. Since we have been home, which has been since Christmas, both of our computers have managed to die. Luckily both laptops managed to hold up until we got home to the U.S., so although computers are our lifeline in Europe, we can certainly manage in Horsham without one, or two.
However, having a new computer is so much fun. I can now post picures again, go onto websites, and actually see things, unlike on my phone. And I can continue to blog, which during our season in Greece I had a blast doing.
Its been a very interesting past 3 months. Pat has been intensely rehabbing his knee. He is so dedicated to getting healthy and being an even better player than before. I love his passion and work ethic, it's quite inspiring. He has also taken on the new role as a stay at home dad which is amazing to watch their relationship grow. He was always such an amazing dad, but the close bond he now has with Jax is like nothing else. I love seeing them together, and how much Jax loves hanging out with daddy.
He became a stay at home dad, because basically as soon as we returned from Greece, I interviewed for a position at Lansdale Hospital for a new unit opening. The ortopaedic and spinal institute opened in mid January, and apparently had over a hundred applicants for only a handful of positions. Luckily they liked me and hired me the week I came home. I wasn't prepared for working full time, so i work usually 2 or 3 days a week. Its just enough and I really enjoy the work right now. I was out of nursing for just over three years, and to be honest I was a bit nervous to begin again after that time away. But it is like riding a bike, and most things came back to me right away.  I miss spending every waking moment with Jax, because 24/7 from September until December we were together.  I think everything happens for a reason. Being a working mother is a new role I'm enjoying learning, and as time goes by I think it will make our family even closer.
When I'm working I miss Jax like crazy, and Patrick, but when I am home I think I use my time wiser, and appreciate every moment more! There is nothing like coming home after a long shift, walking up the steps, and seeing Jax at the gate with that enormous smile, so excited to see me. Nothing Like It!

He loves sharing with daddy
