Extended maternity leave
Sam was born in February, and I have been fortunate enough to spend most of the last 6 months hanging out with him and Mason during my combined maternity leave and summer break from school. I will return to work full time (or at least my version of full time) this week. I wanted to take some time and reflect on the past 6 months. It has been a great experience! Here are some of the highlights:

It has been so much fun making memories with the awesome people in my life. Now it is time to return to work. While it will be hard to leave the boys, I am ready to get back to one of my other passions in life, my job working with such awesome people here in the panhandle and throughout the state. I am happy that I have been able to spend the time at home. I am a lucky person!!
