A Long Couple of Weeks

Last week I flew out to the midwest to visit my family. It was my vacation, but in reality I came back more exhausted than when I left! I went to Marion, IN first to visit my mom. The day after I got there, my sister showed up and dropped both of her kids off and left. I had to watch my 2 year old nephew and 3 month old niece all day! No car, nowhere to go... I love them, and I will always be willing to watch them, but I did want to visit some people while I was there. Sorry to all of you I couldn't see!!

Friday my mom, nephew, and I drove down to Kentucky/Southern Indiana for my brother Jordan's wedding. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner and Saturday was the wedding. Again, I was watching my nephew! He is a handfull!! You can tell he is Jodi's son.

On Sunday Jared, my dad, and I went to my dad's church. It has a grand total of 16 people!! Sunday afternoon and evening we just hung out since my dad wasn't feeling well. Monday morning, we were up bright and early because my dad had his surgery! Everything went well. The doctor thinks she got all the cancer!! YAY!!!!! He is still in the hospital and will be until next week at least since he had some minor complications, but then he will move in with my brother and sister-in-law until he is well.

I got back to San Diego on Tuesday night, went to work at 8 am on Wednesday morning, and had my first class that night!! We have a test every week!! What have I gotten myself into?!?!?!

That is just a little update on my life the past week and a half!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to School I go?!?!

I just registered today for my first college class in San Diego. I know, I know...It took me 7 years to get out of college, so why would I want to go back? I have finally decided what I want to work towards!! It is exciting and scary at the same time. I am going to work towards a nursing degree right now. I am completely starting from scratch because I really want to take it seriously this time. No distractions. After I get my nursing degree, which I expect will take me about 3 years to get!, I plan on getting a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy. I want to work in the Social Work field. I miss working with my clients from Indiana, and I miss the satisfaction and extreme joy it brought. So that is what I am up to now.

Classes start August 25!
