Done!!

Tyler is finished his final course and he couldn't be happier.  He's worked so hard over the last few weeks and he finally gets to relax, just in time to start packing for our big trip home.  He finished up at 3 and he says he did pretty well.  He doesn't find out his final mark for about a week but I know he did awesome.  He's awesome at everything he does and this wont be any different.

Our week has been fun... hmm, fun may not be the right word because we didn't do much but we did more then usual.  And it's only been fun for me because Tyler's been glued to his books for what seems like forever.

Thursday afternoon, I was invited to the hospital for a going away party for a nurse who has been here for many years.  I put Ryan in the cutest little outfit I could find because I know that even though I am invited to events, people really just want to see the Ry man.  I'm okay with that.  He's a celebrity around here, or a mascot.  Either way, he's adorable and going to hospital events allows me to have a bit of hands free time.  Ryan was wearing a cute pair of jeans with a striped shirt and a jean jacket with white faux wool.  It's the cutest little jacket in the world and Ryan looks like such a bad ass.  It's so cute.  At this party, there was goodies to chow down on and good company to talk with.  It happened at coffee break so most people came and left pretty quickly.  I stayed around and talked with a few people whose shift had ended.  We ended up talking for 2 hours and before I knew it, it was 5.  I had told Tyler that I would have dinner ready when he got home from work at 5 so I quickly gathered Ryan up and went home.  It was an easy dinner so it didn't take too long to whip together.

Friday evening, Tyler did some more studying.  He locked himself in our room and I played with Ryan.  We watched a movie once Ry was in bed.  With free hands, I worked on my cross stitching project.  It's taking forever to get this one complete.  I knew it would but I go days without picking it up and that makes me sad.  I think now that Tyler is free during the evenings, I will be able to find more time to work on it.  Also, with us coming home and hours and hours of driving ahead of us, I'll put a decent dent in this project.

Saturday was the same as every other day, only Tyler got to study all day instead of just in the evening. I told him he should take a chair outside onto our deck and study in the sun but he thought it would be too distracting.  It was amazing outside yesterday.  It was the weather I'm looking forward to in Edmonton this summer.  It was bright, hot, sunny and just awesome.

Saturday evening, the plan was to go over to Kendra's for some cards with a locum doctor we get along with really well.  We went up there to find that it was a going away party for us and there were many more people there then we thought there would be.  And there was so much good food.  Ribs, chicken legs, chips, dips and a dessert that I wanted to bathe in it was soooo good.  It was such a fantastic evening.  We laughed a lot, talked a lot and enjoyed all the company of people who make this place so enjoyable.  We have been asked so many times if we are coming back afterwards and no one seems to believe us when we say that yes, we are coming back.  It's getting annoying because we ARE coming back.  And Ryan was a huge hit.  Everyone loves him.  I'm getting use to the fact that people look forward to seeing him instead of Tyler and I.  I know that when we get back home that fact will be even more evident but I'm ok with that.

Today was a good day.  Since we got home late last night, Ryan seemed to sleep in.  He slept from 1am to 7:30am and that's just awesome.  I fed him for about half an hour and put him back in his crib.  He woke up as soon as I laid him down but I headed to bed anyways.  For the next 20 minutes, Tyler and I listened to Ryan kick and giggle and yawn and be the cutest baby in the world.  He eventually fell back asleep and Tyler got out of bed.  I was still sleeping when Tyler went into work for a bit.  Our day was spent playing, being thrown up on many times, studying, and a few other things.  It was a nice day and now Tyler no longer has to study.  I'm so excited to finally have my husband back.

We will be spending this week packing up our place and seeing how compact we can get everything.  I hope we can get everything we need into that vehicle.

Ryan is still the cutest baby in the world.
