peaches, plums and case workers

It has been a productive day in the Olson household. Now that is something you don't hear every day!

I had class today. Then I came home and canned 20 lbs of peaches. Then I prepped for making some peach jam tomorrow. And I picked plums. Lots and lots of plums.

Erik got a new job!!!! My beloved husband is now a case worker. Well... he starts Wednesday. This is very exciting for him.. For both of us actually. It means he will be home every evening and that we may actually see each other every day! It will be a bit of an adjustment for me because I am used to being able to go see my babies any time I want, but I'm excited to spend more time with my husband.

I counted up the days we were together this summer... we were together for 40 of the last 95 days. And that's including days that we saw an hour of each other because of our work schedules. 40 days!!! That's it! Oh man, we are so thankful to finally have each other back. This will be the first time in our married life that we have been on similar schedules. It will only last four months so I am going to enjoy it!

(I say only four months because then I'm going to be in practicums again, then I graduate and who knows what work will be like after that).
