It is that time of year again...the holiday season. Its cold, people are crazy, things are on sale, and all you want to do is eat. Your cooking, buying gifts, and spending time with family and friends. Me and Shane have a few traditions that we have started over the last 8 Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays. We go see the Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo. We watch lots of Christmas movies, my favorite being When Harry met Sally (it takes places during Christmas but its not really "A Christmas Movie"). Anyways...we buy an ornament for our Christmas tree and we always try to get out and see the lights around town. I'm extra excited this year, of course, because we now have a third member of our family to share these traditions with. Ryan responds really well to lights and flashing things, so I think he's gonna LOVE the Zoo Lights. And I'm really excited to get pictures with Santa. Oh yeah, we are gonna hit up every Santa in town. I'm gonna have a scrapbook full of pics on Santa's lap. Its his first Christmas...it needs to be done.In other Borg family news:
We are still trying to find a church. We have been talking a lot about god and his place in our life. There are still a lot of questions that go unanswered. Its hard because we both grew up with such different but strong religious backgrounds. It always seems like one is so different from the other. Hopefully we can find a place to have Ryan baptized by the beginning of 2009.
I have been undergoing some testing for a job with Progressive Insurance. I'm pretty excited because the job would be working with a large group of people in a loud/fun environment. I'm still not thrilled about putting the baby in daycare, mainly because I have issues paying someone else to raise my kid. Not that there is anything wrong with daycare...I just wanted to be the mom for him that I didn't have. Not to say that my dad wasn't the best mom in the world, because he was! He was all I ever needed. Its hard to find good men like that these days. But I am amp'd to get back to work and start making lots and lots of money so I can buy him lots of toys for Christmas.
My goal is to be enrolled in school by the end of January. Even though the Progressive job is great, I cant forget about the larger picture. I'm great at sales and have been fairly successful at it in the past, but I eventually want to end up as a nurse practitioner...helping people who need it.
