Wow It's Been Quite Awhile

Well so much for starting to blog regularly this summer. Well, now it is fall and school is in full swing. I'm in my last semester of nursing school, and I am so pumped to get done with school and starting working as an RN. I have a job lined up at ISJ for when I graduate which is so exciting and one less thing for me to have to worry about. Now about passing those boards...

Things are busy for us right now! I'm doing school and working tons to save up for an NCLEX review course. Mike spent weeks and weeks looking for a job this fall and finally ended up going back to Dairy Queen. So, he's pretty busy with school and work. It feels like we never see each other. This past Friday, we were both of work and actually got to see each other and go on a date. It was nice getting to spend more than 30 minutes together. Oscar is doing pretty good too. I think he misses us being around like we were this summer. I feel bad for the little guy having to spend so much time home alone.

We got out synthesis sites for nursing school and even though I was number 38, I got my first choice! Unbelievable. So, I'll be doing my synthesis at ISJ in Same Day Surgery. Can you believe it?!? I won't have to commute and I'll still be able to work plenty at ISJ. It really feels like everything is starting to come together and that I'm getting one step closer to our "real lives".

As if we can handle adding anything else to our millions of things to do, Mike has 2 preaching opportunities lined up for this fall already. On October 12 we'll be going down to Jerico, Iowa and on November 16 Mike is preaching at my home church that I grew up in. That will be so exciting and very special for me. Well, I think I've put off studying for my Leadership and Mangagement Test long enough.
