Just dipping my toes back in

Well, I think that may have been the quickest year yet!  And yet, one of our hardest.

It was mainly complicated by a crazy busy year for me at Uni.  Although the previous years have been just as hard, this year I was exhausted and drained as a culmination of 4 years of study, shift work, being on call AND having a family came to a head.  We did it though and I think we have all came out mentally unscathed!  I am now officially a Registered Midwife AND I have a job in the only position I applied for.  So although the craziness of being a student midwife is now behind me, I realise that the real learning now begins - but I'll at least be getting paid for it!

The holidays are nearly coming to an end, but I am so thankful that I've spent lots of wonderful time with the children - I probably wont ever have a big summer break like this again now I'm getting back into working land.  We've had a great time though and are all feeling ready to tackle 2014 with enthusiasm, excitement and only a little bit of trepidation!  I'm also ready to get back into blogging now there may be some free time coming my way (or am I just dreaming?) - either way, I want to get back into recording our life.  Not just for the kids to look back on, but for me to see how much we have to appreciate.  Sometimes life has been so busy I forget how awesome it really is.
