Christmas!

Its SoUpperrrrr Santa Ron!

Merry Christmas everyone! We had a good time on Christmas day, We had family come from as far as Hawaii, Wisconsin and Nevada to as close as Rons sister in 29 Palms Ca.

It is a nice visit with all of them. We have just been hanging out, not really doing much of anything, playing Wii and Wowing, and watching movies. Eating WAY TOOOOO much! lol

Though its time for me to probably start studying again for school next week! UUUUGGGGGHHHH! I really like it but its a lot of pressure sometimes.

I hope all of you are enjoying each other and the Holidays!

Love you ALL!

The start of Christmas Break!

Hello All,

I know its been awhile... but have been busy with school and trying to get ready for Christmas... I am almost finished... whew!

Max is visiting now, and he will be here thru Jan 1st. he decided to cut his hair while he was out here... I have included a photo of him, along with some photos of the zoo and Thanksgiving.

I want to take this opportunity and wish ALL of you a very Merry Christmas and hopefully a prosperous New Year!

I love you all,

Coming back from Vacation.....

Well its time to return to school.... Though I like school, it was so nice to have a break from it. I will not lie... This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I just keep saying to myself it will all pay off in the long run.

So, this week Ron and I went down to the San Diego Zoo, it was so fun. I have never been there. We got to spend some quality time together, without interuptions. We spent 2 days at the Zoo, and we also just hung out went to Seaport Village, did some Christmas shopping. Then we traveled to 29 Palms to spend Thanksgiving with Tracy, Len, Marcia, Ken. Mike flew back from Wisconsin on Friday. He had a great time, he went hunting and got himself a Spike Buck. SO he is excited!

Overall it has been a very nice time away.

Starting on Monday it will be my second week of Term 2. My schedule will be Theory (classroom) days on Monday and Tuesdays, with my Tests every Tuesday. Then Wednesday thur Friday we have Clinical ( in a long term healthcare facility) actually putting into practice what we have learned in class. This term consists of passing medication. Its pretty stressful, because of how important it is to do everything correctly.

ok, guess thats it for now. Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one. I would like to say to all of you how Thankful I am for having all of you in my life.

SCHOOL'S OUT.... :o)

hello to all...

Just an FYI... schools out, schools out teacher let the monkeys out... lol you know how the rest of that goes.... and being outta school, is a much welcomed break!.... I return on Monday Dec. 1

Everything here in the sunny southland is going fine, everyone is the same.... Mike is in WI for hunting season and to visit some of his family back there. He returns on Friday.

Ron and I are going to San Diego for a few days, to use the free hotel stay I won in a contest last year. We are going to go to the ZOO and just relax and spend time with each other.

Well I just wanted to do a quick update and to also wish all of you a very
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

What we have been up too...

Well my first term of Nursing school is over..... YAY! only 3 terms left (9 months to go) I finished with an A on my final and a very high B overall. I am excited that I was able to get my 91 on the final. I try for the 90 on every test but always fall short to a range of 86 to 88. I know it is still a great grade but I want the 90. Some of you have asked about graduation so, my tentative graduation date is Sept. 8, 2009.

Mike is in college, doing ok. He is still trying to find his way... he is going to focus on taking classes that interest him in his second semester. He has found that Marine Science isn't the direction he would like to pursue. He seems so passionate about History, I suggested that he follow that and see where it leads him. I totally believe you have to be happy in what you do, and if he loves history then he should go in that direction... so we shall see. I just want him to get an education, I don't care at this point what he takes as long as he stays.... life is just too hard to live without an education. I know this from plenty of experience... lol

Max is totally psyched about his new adventure. He recently got his drivers license, and starting today, he has a new job. He is working at the local grocery store in Merrill. He is doing ok in school... he is taking some advanced classes so they seem to be holding his interest. That in its self is not an easy task. :o)

Brandi and Bo, well they don't say too much to me... other than things are fine. So, I have to take it at that. I figure that it won't be long before I am a gramma.... I keep hoping that it won't be before I am 40 though.... lol

Ron, well he is just great! He is my biggest fan, and supporter. He is so encouraging and motivates me. As for his job, he is holding in there. I think he is finally seeing now though how much they take him for granted. He does so much for that company and goes without recognition, and he deserves so much more for all he does. I know he is hanging in until I get out of school, but after that I am not sure what he will do. Maybe he will go get his masters... I know how he loves to learn and likes going to school... lol.

and last but not least our Vince... he is so patient and loyal.... he is here everyday with a wagging tail and fuzzy face and he never judges... only loves us. I just wish I could spend more time with him.... I was hoping school might get easier now that I "have a handle on it" lol but I think it is just going to get harder... *sigh*

Well I hope because this blog is SOOO easy to use that I will continue to use it and keep those abroad that love us updated on our happenings....

Love you all...
