Count Down...


Well I am officially in the last lap of the race!! I graduate with my BSN on April 29th, which is only 2 weeks away. I will be very glad to have this part of my life done with and move on. Both Joe & I are ready for a change of pace, and scenery :) Today my graduating class took this cute picture by the tree, so I thought I would share it with ya'll! Also today I put my application to the State of Michigan for my Registered Nurses License in the mail... YIKES!! Not sure why, but it was nerve racking :) Next step is to schedule my NCLEX Board Exam... fortunately that won't be right away cause I have to wait for the school to send the state my graduation information before they will let me even try to schedule the test. Okay I have to get working on homework (my brain is so frazzled from homework) only two more papers to write and one more presentation and than it's free sailing :) Well aside from a couple exams... but eh I ain't scared... I mean they can't fail me now, can they?!

So long sunshine, hello old friend...


As I write this we are in the middle of a blizzard warning that will be in effect until tomorrow evening. I am hoping that this will be the last we see of the snow. We were merely teased by the warm weather we've been having! I thought for sure that spring was here. All our snow was melted, buds were coming out on the trees, and grass and tulips growing :) It really was wonderful! I should probably be depressed by the weather but in some weird way it feels kinda special, in a nostalgic way... Earlier today as the snow was falling a thought crossed my mind, this will probably be the last snow I get to see up here in the Copper Country. We will be moving away to a place that for sure won't have near the beauty after a fresh snowfall. Too bad, I know both Joe and I will miss the winters up here. The pictures are from earlier this evening... we went out and took some in our yard :)
