It's about time!

It NEVER seems to fail. Another 4 months has gone by and I am just now writing a blog update, but with good reason! I have been busy, busy with school and taking care of my little ones. Just as I expected, this first semester of Nursing School was extremely challenging and I am happy to announce that I PASSED both Pharmacology and Adult Health I! The amount of relief I felt when I figured out that I could actually do this was immense, to say the least and the challenges of chasing around a two year old and keeping up with the needs of a baby all while studying all day EVERYDAY was overwhelming. But to those who looked at me sideways when I told them that I would be battling Nursing School with my two kiddos; IN YOUR FACE! I know, I know...I shouldn't get ahead of myself, after all I still have 3 more semesters. Next semester will be psych and OR and I am extremely excited about both! Although I spent most of my time out of the classroom or hospital studying, we did manage to find time to do some fun things like go to this amazing corn maze out by the green swamp, go trick-or-treating and spend some time with family and friends!



We had an amazing Thanksgiving with the family and we have an awful lot to be thankful for. I feel extremely blessed to have two healthy children and I thank God for that everyday. I cannot believe that it is already Christmas time! Elle has shown such excitement this year about Santa Claus and we have watched the movie The Santa Clause just about everyday for the past month. We took her and John to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop and both of them loved it! I think I am more excited about Christmas morning because I know how much Elle is going to enjoy it!

Although I am extremely grateful for a little rest from school I am actually ready to jump back in. The faster we get stared the faster we'll be done and I love being at the hospital taking care of patients! As for the kids, they have both been doing great. Elle has been talking more and more everyday and John is doing something new all the time! He is crawling up a storm now and pulling to stand on anything he can get his little hands on. He tries his very best to keep up with big sister! Who knows when I'll write again, probably sometime in May when next semester is over!
