Life updated

So I'll admit, it has been a really long time since I blogged so here is another shot at it! What's happened in my life over the last 8 months? Lots! I took a medical leave from my teaching job in March and have finally realized that crazy high stress jobs don't mesh well with being able to focus on my diabetes. I've taken some time off of teaching in the classroom and I'm putting my focus back where it needs to be -on my health, my happiness, and a work-life balance. My most favorite job was nannying for an amazing family four years ago and now Zi'm back to nannying again! I am passionate about relationship building with kids, passionate about encouraging healthy active lifestyles, and passionate about making the world just a little bit better. I'm happy now nannying and I get to take care of adorable funny and lovey little 2 year old twins. We play hard during the day and laugh and giggle at the most tribal things. I'm influencing their lives bit by bit and seeing their bright eyes and delight when I open the door each morning keeps me energized. I'm finally ready to start a family with Erik so I am hoping that will be sometime in our future and that we'll really take the time to enjoy the journey. I broke my collarbone over Memorial Day, had surgery and now have a titanium plate and screws. Most excruciating pain I have ever been in! Damn diabetes finally got me - do not attempt to mountain bike when your blood sugar is low. Flipped over my handle bars after a long ride. I'm almost fully recovered now, still living up the summer and staying active - it didn't slow me down too much. It's hard to believe it's been a year since DTC - I am so glad that I had that experience! It was amazing seeing Holly this summer -so great to catch up and connect our husbands. I will for always remember sharing a bottle of champagne up at Crater Lake! I feel inspired to kick up my focus on my diabetes over the next few months to get an A1C close to 6% and start the next chapter of our lives.
