April- in April I went on my Walk To Emmaus, flight 1748and I have to say, it was BY FAR one of the best experiences of my entire life…if you haven't been on one, don't know what it is, or just aren't' sure PLEASE don't hesitate to talk to me about it! I would be MORE than happy to share some info with you and pray for your chance to go! Jay sponsored me, which I feel like was a HUGE moral booster for our wedding… as a woman, I know my husband prays for me…but to hear from people that he spent time out of his weekend to sit in a chapel and pray over me was absolutely outstanding to me! NEVER in my entire life have I felt so overcome by real, selfless love! Not only was my precious husband praying for me, but total strangers, my family, my friends and my sweet mother-in-law who was on the music team and served me and my fellow pilgrims on our walk. I cannot even express the amount of overwhelming love I felt between all the women and men involved directly and indirectly with our walk, as well as the overwhelming, unconditional love of our Savior! I seriously cannot express how amazing the weekend was but I can tell you that I wish I could experience it over and over and over, luckily… I have made some great friends and reliving those feelings are never too far from home!
May- I can't think of anything extremely exciting about May off the top of my head, except for my baby sister graduating high school! I am extremely proud of her…but I am a little sad that she'll be taking off for Austin in just a few months to go to UT.
June- Family Vaction! We spent 8 days and 7 nights in sunny Cancun, Mexico with my family and I have to say, there is nothing a little bit of salt water and sand can't cure! Jay, Jaxon and I enjoyed lots of time on the beach, and at the pool. We spent some time snorkeling, riding around Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres. It was a LOT of fun.
July- My little Jaxy turned a whole 2 years old on the second! I cannot believe how big he is and how much fun he has become! His vocabulary has expanded immensely, and he's become quite the baseball and football fan. In fact, there's not a sport he doesn't love. He enjoys anything with a ball to be real honest. He's become a big fan of riding around in Daddy's "beep" (jeep), and carries his fishing pole all over the house. He's been camping out in the living room playing in his tent since his birthday and thinks that begging for cake for breakfast is going to eventually mean I'm going to give in. He still loves to talk about the baby and his new signature phrase is "awe, how tuuute" (Awe, how Cute!) He kisses my belly every chance he gets and loves to rub it when we're laying around trying to sleep…I guess he's decided I'm starting to look like Buddha?! Speaking of…little M2 (which is the nickname I've given this baby until he are for sure we've got baseballs or bows coming around) we hit 19 weeks today…. he or she is the size of a mango! I'm starting to become closer to the size of a house (or so it feels) I changed up my schedule at work to be part time for now…I was super sick for the first 18.5 weeks with this pregnancy and ended up in the ER for dehydration… thank God for Zofran! Luckily, I'm feeling better. Jaxon starts Joy School at Glen Meadows in the Fall and I am SO excited for him to have the opportunity to spend two days a week with other kids his age learning and playing! I know it will be a great thing for both of us! As of right now, I'll be working the night before he goes to Joy School and then he'll attend Joy School for half a day while I try to grab a few Z's. 
Number 7 is a post about my dream job…I know, I know, I ALWAYS waste a few minutes of your time telling you how hard it is for to write certain things and then they just flow…but to be honest…this is a hard post for me…I'm a Nurse by education, and skill (or something like that) but I am a Mother by nature… therefor to pick my dream job feels like I have to choose to do one more than the other…not to mention, since I've been a nurse, I've struggled with figuring out exactly WHAT my next career move will be. While I enjoy more "med-surge" nursing, it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life. But, I don't really know what I want to do for the rest of my life….so here goes my post before I ramble anymore….
My Dream Job….well…. to be honest, when I started studying to become a nurse I wanted to be a pediatric oncology nurse, or a NICU nurse, and then I started falling in love with Labor and Delivery…and then it was midwifery…and then it was Nursery, and now it's NICU, Pedi, Nursery and L&D… to be honest, I think being a midwife is my dream job…If I could do ANYTHING in the world, I would without a doubt travel the world doing a doctor's without borders program to take care of women all over the world. But, maybe trauma and ER medicine in the military would be my other dream job. Or…maybe…. my dream job would be becoming a freelance photographer and traveling the world and walking in War Zones to create historical images for the future generations to learn from. I might even find my dream job in becoming an anchor on The Today Show…but lets face it…of all those things, very few are probably ever going to happen. Fortunately, there was a "dream job" I dreamed of before I ever even knew what a stethoscope, or SLR, or The Today Show were. I wanted to be a Mom before any of those things. When I was little I remember stuffing baby dolls into the bottom of my shirt and pretending I had a baby growing in my belly that I would get to play mom to. I remember loving, holding and clothing these tiny baby dolls and dreaming of the day, that I would FINALLY be a "real" Mom. To say I was obsessed, might be underestimating my passion for being a "mom". When I was 4 or 5 I started dreaming of weddings, and houses, and children. I wanted to be a "stay at home mom" and I wanted to have a handsome husband and lots of little babies to take care of. So maybe…of all the wild dreams I've dreamed…being a Mom and a wife is my true Dream Job. Growing up my "what I want to be when I grow up answer included EVERYTHING from Astronaut, to musician, to Lawyer, to Doctor, to fireman, to race car driver, to oil field worker, to teacher…and the list goes on and on…but one thing I never stopped wanting to become was a Wife and Mom. Luckily, I got to become both of those things at the young age of 22. I get to live my dream job everyday. Luckily, I also get to be a nurse and take care of all kinds of people. I get to live my dream job, and have a career. I can't tell you that I wouldn't love to be on stage singing to a crowd full of people, or delivering babies in Africa, because I would love to do those things, but there's no way I would trade being Mrs. Jay Moore and your Mom for a chance to do ALL those things in the world. That's what makes being your Mom and your Dad's best friend my dream job. Maybe it's not a job because I love what I do…but maybe it is a job because I'm constantly cleaning up after you little monkeys! Thanks for letting me live my dream. I couldn't be more blessed!
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Jobs.
