Time is flying by SO FAST. It never ceases to amaze me. I wait all year for fall, and then it is over in the blink of an eye. I haven't blogged in awhile, I've been so busy! I plan to do some blog posts about my trip to NYC soon, but for now just a short post on what I have been up to recently.
Last Saturday my grandpa got to go on the Honor Flight, which is where Veterans of WWII and the Korean War are flown to Washington D.C. for the day. They get to visit all of the monuments, memorials, and Arlington National Cemetery. When they come home, their family and friends all come together to meet them at the airport when they get off of the plane to show their love and support. My entire family and extended family went and it was the most amazing thing. You can tell how much it means to them and it was very emotional for everyone. It was a great night and I am so happy that my Papa, who turned 84 years old today, got to go on it.
My best friend Tessa and I went apple picking last week at an orchard nearby. I had just gotten my new phone and was afraid to drop it, so I only snapped a few pictures. We got a lot of apples though and they were DELICIOUS! We also went on a wagon ride around the orchard and bought yummy bakery treats. It was kind of a cool overcast day, but it was so much fun!
We took my mom out to dinner and out for her birthday a couple days late. It was fun!
I just started with my first night shift this past Tuesday. It wasn't bad, however, having to plan time out of your day to sleep is sort of annoying and I really don't like sleeping during the day, but oh well, what can you do? I am so loving being back at my hospital though, I missed everyone so much! Between work and tutoring usually 2 times a week, I'm crazy busy!! For the times I have to stay up all night the night before I work (because I sleep during the day before I go in) I have been binge watching two new shows on Netflix that I started but never kept up with .. Revolution and Reign. They're both awesome!
Congratulations to your grandfather! What a beautiful honor that was for him, and how special it must've been to have you all waiting for him when he got home! :)
