whatever! how am i supposed to fine time to write anymore? i just don't know. anyway, i wanted to give a quick update (downtime in clinic) about what is neeewwwwww.....

so, benjo last night, as we were talking right before night-night, let me know that he has a friend named "doo-bee-dah" who is a little boy that lives in florida. he has blue hair, and if you touch the blue hair it stings, but that's only when he's being mean. when he's being nice, it doesn't hurt..... future sci-fi lover or what?

since my last post, we've also started receiving our food from the CSA (community supported agriculture) group. if you're not familiar, basically we get a shipment of whatever is in season on the farm locally plus some meat each week.... this has led to some interesting challenges at home. i've been cooking lots of new stuff! some of which is super yummy.... so, mustard greens, bok choy, kobe raba (?spelling) are no longer unknown ingredients to the williams'.... love those internet recipes.

we also have come through the great flood of 2010. it was truly unbelievable how much water landed in our city, and the crisis really stirred up a little more love in my heart for ol' nashville. we didn't have much damage compared to most who were seriously hit, but we did have 5 feet of water in our basement... at least we were told so - we were actually in canada when the flood hit but have absolutely amazing neighbors (brig and kris!!!) who siphoned it out of our basement while we were away. they were also dealing with their own flooded basement, plus brigitte is pregnant and they have a one year and it was kris' busiest part of the year (www.bookfool.com - check it out). anyway we appreciate them so much and came out fine. some momentos were lost and a few pricey electronics (ac, waterheater) but all in all, we are good.

i've started a new job! i'm really loving it too. i'm working with an amazing mentor/boss at vanderbilt in vaccine safety and it is so interesting and fulfilling. maybe this is it! maybe i'll make my career in vaccine research and safety! i am super super blessed that things always work out and thankful. i'm still at rivergate also through the end of july so i'm really a workin' mama now. home time is hectic, but wonderful.

we also celebrated benjo's 3 year birthday, went on a weeklong vaca to amelia island, harrison started "school" and has had a continuous uri since, derek has his first national presentation in vancouver and nailed it, and he is starting as faculty july 1 so he'll actually get paid somewhat close to a salary he deserves finally.

so i have a check up now waiting - gotta go! hope to get some pics up soon.
