Hi! I know, it's been a while since I posted.. sorry. This is a picture of Emily at Nana and Grandpa Harper's house on July 14th. Iain and I went to a wedding of my friend Caroline from Bartell's, so Emily stayed with Nana and Grandpa. The wedding was beautiful, the weather was great, although the difference in 86 degrees in Richland and 86 degrees in Redmond was quite noticeable. In Richland, it's dry and manageable, in Redmond, it's hot and sticky and the bugs come out to nibble on me! I came home with no less than a dozen skeeter bites. Oh well, it was a fun weekend.

The job is going well. I've finished training, for the most part. I'm still shadowing other employees until August, just so that I get the hang of the schedule and what needs to be done when. I passed my IV certification last week, but I had to make a iv mixture that has to be incubated for 2 weeks. If it doesn't grow anything then, I'm golden, if it grows something, then I have to start over. So fingers crossed!

Emily is growing faster than any weed I've ever seen! She is talking so much and all the time, she just doesn't stop! Her new favorite phrase is "this is ridiculous!" She's so funny, but she's also so independent and stubborn at times too! I think she gets that from me...

So, for now, must go. I'll try to be better at posting... until next time --
