Hi.....Its been a while

Hey everyone! I just realized its been a while. So what's been going on around here? Our semester is winding down which is a good and bad thing. Obviously good because the semester is almost over but bad because teachers try to cram a ton of stuff into such a short period of time at the end of the semester when we should be studying for finals! Frustrated, can you tell? We have end of the semester evals where we have to evaluate EVERY instructor we had this semester, EVERY facility we did clinicals at, and our school itself! Its fantastic. I have clinicals Monday and Tuesday this coming week and then I'm done with that for the semester, I have a test on Thursday the 1st then my final is on the 5th. I will have a two week break then I start again on the 19th. Ed is also finishing up his semester. He was offered a summer position working as a judicial clerk for a juvenile Judge. It's good experience and he gets credit in school for it. He will also be volunteering at the Glendale Police Department with the police attorney there which I'm sure he will love because he misses the whole police thing.

So I KNOW I'm stressed. About everything. I'm starting to freak out that I'm starting my last semester of nursing school! I've been waiting for such a long time to get to this point and now I'm freaking. I can't stop thinking about it. About what the semester will be like (besides insane) and then what its going to be like when I'm done. But I guess I'm more stressed than I realized because apparently, the other night while I was sleeping, I yelled "Ok everyone, we are all stressed out, so let's pull it together and just get through it!" Did I mention that I yelled this? Poor Ed, he got woken up by our kids and me and the next day, he had to do an oral argument in front of 4 judges for one of his finals. OOPS!!! I feel bad.

Our 8 year anniversary was on the 22nd. We were both at school. Great way to spend an anniversary. We went to dinner the next night and then he took me to see his school. It was a good night and I enjoyed hanging out with him. We don't ever get to do that. It seems like it wasn't very long ago that we just got married and he got in his accident and had to leave the police department, we were having major issues getting pregnant and staying pregnant and now here we are with an almost 5 year old and an almost 3 year old! I can't believe it. How lucky am I to have the husband and kids that I do. We are certainly going to always be together because if we made it through all that crap, we can make it through anything. Right?

Ok, enough rambling. One more thing though, today is my brother Tim's birthday. Happy Birthday Tim! I love my brother. He is one of the only ones in my family who calls just to check in and see how we are doing. He has always been such a good example to me and he is someone who I have always respected. I don't know if I've ever told him that but I certainly should.

So thats all for now, I know you're like, "thank goodness" hope everyone is doing well. Have a great night~!
