This past month has seriously gone by so fast. Usually I try to blog (keyword: "try") once a week. I can't believe it's been three weeks since I have posted. August has been a great month for me personally. The fact that we have nurses to come help take care of Jett during the night has been a life changer! I am a firm believer that SLEEP makes the world a better place. I am incredibly grateful that we even have the option to have nurses come to our home. Jett definitely needs around-the-clock care. He wakes up in the middle of the night with severe chorea/dystonia. You can read about it here if you are interested. Therefore, Jett's nights can be pretty miserable, which can make my nights miserable. Now that we have nurses, I am completely confident that Jett will be taken care of at all times. It is such a comforting feeling! During the day, I can actually function like a human being (not a zombie) and take care of Jett better than I ever have.
Cody is back in dental school full-time. Even when he is home, his mind is still "in school". His studies occupy most of his time, but he has made it a point to not let school take over his life altogether. A couple weeks ago, he had his first patient. It was an 83-year-old man who has probably never brushed his teeth a day in his life. What an awesome first patient, right? Cody had to do a thorough cleaning on this guy's teeth and from what I've heard, he did a pretty good job!
I have stayed busy with a million different projects. Yes, you read that right. Me....Tennille Boseman...does projects. So far, I have remodeled my front room, built and painted furniture (well, Cody did), and made some wall hangings. Thank you, Pinterest! My next project involves the sewing machine. I'm not sure if I'm capable, but I'm going to try to make some throw pillows for my couches. But before I turn all Martha Stewart on you, I have been thinking about teaching fitness classes again. I MISS it SO much. For now, I'm just THINKING about it, but in a couple months, I may actually DO it.
The pictures that you see are from Jett's First Air Show that we went to over the weekend! The weather was super hot, but Jett loved being out in the sun and around all of the cool planes. The show was held at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, NE. It is a short 15-minute drive from our house. Cody was like a little kid in a candy store. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay about 1.5 hours....which is about 8 hours too short for Cody.
We stayed long enough to look at all of the planes and watch some great flying. Now that I have some flying lessons under my belt, I am in even MORE awe at what some planes can do and how close they come to one another. It's so crazy! Cody thinks he is going to fly like that one day. Sorry, dude...that's not happening.

The next group of pictures are at Lake Manawa in Council Bluffs, IA. I took Jett there this week along with a bunch of friends from my neighborhood. There is a little beach area where kids can run around and play. It was so nice to get out and be near the water! However, it's also a bittersweet feeling because I want to be IN the lake...IN a boat. Oh well, that time will come again someday!

Last night was Jett's first Utah State Football game! We had a little party at our house and wore our Utah State gear. Even though we are a couple states away, we still have to cheer on our Aggies!! Watching the crowd and seeing the stadium made me so homesick, though. Oh how we miss Logan. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth, but its true. You don't realize how good you have it, until its gone! Logan...we'll make it back someday. Just you wait.
