tracythomp - A light at the end

I am finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. All these classes will soon come to an end. I have two weeks left of course work, which includes text book reading, papers, and projects. I'm so over it. The nice thing is that at the end of this series of classes I will have a vacation. It will be so nice to be with my family in Northern Michigan. Kelsie and Kyle are coming up with their family and my parents also rented a place on the Lake. I am hoping this will become a tradition. I have fallen in love with michigan and it is all i can do to get my family to as well. I must say I miss having family. I am constantly trying to build relationships and I am realizing it is a lot more work then it has ever been before. However, i talk to my sister every day and I talk to my parents most days and it just makes me wish we were all closer. Not to mention I am desperate for childcare help, during my internship, and I know my mother would love the opportunity to be with Laike 2 days a week. ugh it makes me sick to think of someone else with my baby.
On another note i am running again which is wonderful. i am finally back to the distance I was at pre pregnancy. I am ready to push myself now. i would love to be able to get out 5 mornings a week and run 3 miles at a time but for now I will recognize the success of 3 times a week at 2 miles.
Laike is doing wonderfully. He is my little buddy. i love to hear him laugh and see him smile. He is engaging really well. sometimes we think he is older then he is and must take a step back and recognize he is still only 4 months old. I love him beyond words. A friend let me borrow her exersaucer and i have been letting him explore this. He is still really small for it but he does engage it a little bit.
Anyway, i suppose this is all for now! peace
