Update!

Okay so I havn't posted in a while. It has been pretty busy around here for the two of us. School is turning out to be very challenging for both of us this semester and takes a whole lot of our time. We are both loving it though, but still can't wait for the end of the semester, which is in a week! Then we get a whole week off and start again for our summer semester. We are both going to school this summer. My classes are going to be crazy! 17 credits in three months. This last semester was a lot of fun. It was hard, but I have really enjoyed it. I have learned a lot, and seen a lot of interesting stuff as well. Nothing yet that makes me wish I had picked a different career choice so thats a good thing. We are both going to graduate a year from now, which makes it easier to get through it, knowing the end is near... well the end for now :P.

The house is coming along well. Still a TON of work to do on it, but the work we have done has turned out pretty good. I promise I am going to post pictures soon.

The newest member of our family!

Meet Rasha. She is a 2 1/2 year old Border Collie/Lab Mix. We adopted her from a shelter a few weeks ago. Her story is really sad, she was abadoned with a note around her neck in a parking lot as a puppy. She was brought to this shelter where she was adopted out and then the women who adopted her lost her house or something and took her back to the shelter. Now she has found a nice permanent home with us! She has a great personality, is really sweet and loving. She is also house trained, knows how to sit and lay down (sometimes). We just love her!!

School has started!

(meet my books for this semester)

Joel and I are officially back in school. He is finishing his computer science degree and I am FINALLY starting Nursing school.

My first week is over.

It has been fun.

And a little crazy/overwhelming

I think it will stay this way until I get into a real routine.

Update on my previous post!

I got my acceptance letter today!! I officially start nursing school in January!! Yay!
I have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for it.. vaccinations, cpr certification and other fun stuff but I am so excited!

any day now!

I spoke with my advisor at school the other day and she told me that they will be mailing out the acceptance letters for the Nursing Program any day now. I am so nervous, I think I have a pretty good chance, but you never know!!!

Here are the rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them

1. I abosolutely cannot fall asleep if the closet door is open. I feel this compulsion to get up and close it. This is not so bad in our new house where the closet is super tiny and the door is usually closed to hide the mess of clothes and shoes that are piled in there. At our last apartment however we had three sliding doors into the walk-in closet and a bathroom door right off our room . All of them had to be closed in order for me to sleep. Oddly though it is okay if the bedroom door is open

2. I have this intense fear of buring the house down. I even have nightmares about it. When I leave the house I check to make sure everything (hair flat-iron, coffee maker, oven) is turned off. Sometimes I will do this .. go outside and then have to come back in to make sure i unplugged the hair iron.

3. I am really forgetfull. I put my keys down and 5 minutes later have no idea where they are. I will have money or something in my hand... put it in my purse or somewhere and then go "wait what did I do with _____.

4. I have the worst perception of space. I run into things all the time. I will turn a corner in my hosue and run into a wall. I wait tables and am continually running into tables. We got this new shelving at work where we keep our ranch dressing/blu cheese/celrey ect (I work at a hot wings place) and there is a shelf above the one we keep all that on now. It didn't used to be there. The first day they put it in i bumped my head on it 6 times.

5. I like to make up stories about people I see. This is especially fun at work where there is a constant influx of new people to invent things about. I somtimes do it for myself too.

6. Cleaning is relaxing for me. I love to do it, but only when its not my own hosue. When I was in high school my best friend Lianna was a total slob. I used to hang out at her house and clean her room for her, I also once cleaned my friend Alissa's room and her sisters house in fact. It's only a chore when its my own house, there I let it get to a certain point and then HAVE to clean it :P

Sadly enough the only person I know who blogs on here is Mykalee and she already did this!
