back to school, back to school.

this time it's hubby's turn to go back to school! chris started classes today to count towards his nursing prerequisites. he will have about one year of classes before starting nursing school next year which will last 1.5 - 2 years! so excited to be able to support him through this process.

a first day of school photo ... notice lennon doesn't really know what to think.

now here's the sun, come to dry the rain

this is my first official "good news" post...it's been a great week!

good news #1

i'm getting a raise! finally! it's been a year in the making...now it makes sense because i will have my master's degree in just under a month...but still i've been waiting a year. i'm so stoked. it's such a relief to know that i've got a secure job when i gradate. phew.

good news #2

i'm planning to apply for contingency at the hospital when i'm done with my internship. it basically means that i will be on-call for certain shifts. i'm excited about this because my dream of someday working there may actually happen.

good news #3

we are officially going on a vacation in june! we will be spending 10 lovely days in california. i bought our plane tickets today! we're headed to san jose, santa cruz, and san francisco for certain. we're going to do a canopy tour in the redwoods & tour alcatraz... so much to plan & so much to see! i love this type of planning though...it's "adventure" planning. the best kind.

...good things are happening...finally!
