Let's Celebrate!



To celebrate the end of the work-a-thon Sherrie and I took the girls out for pedicures. We had a great time, minus the pedicure lady offending Olivia a little bit. She asked Olivia"what is the matter with your face?" Olivia was mortified, but she will have to get used to it, as rude people ask her about her scar all of the time. (Of course, Olivia hopes no one notices it!) We couldn't hardly make out two words those ladies said (English was definitely not their native tongue), but THAT came out loud and clear.

Yes, the work-a-thon is done. It actually ended a week ago, but it took me this long to recover. I have been asked many times, "was it worth it?" YES! It was totally worth it. It actually went super fast, and we had lots of fun at work. What do you expect when you work with your best friend? A few people in my ward told me that Zane really missed me, although he will never 'fess up to that! Nonetheless, it was nice to hear my work at home is appreciated! So, if they continue having double-overtime...I may just have an annual work-a-thon. Zane gets an annual UTA, I think I deserve it!

P.S. Thanks Sherrie for the idea of the work-a-thon!

You so deserved this....minus the completely out-of-line comment! Olivia could not be more beautiful! I see that girl on a very regular basis and truthfully, I never really notice the scar, her adorable smile is too overpowering! Love your entire blog my good friend. You are so funny and for the first time in my life I want to be a nurse...to work with you and your crazy friends! (I can't stand blood)
