Yet AGAIN I haven't updated our blog. Life has been so busy that when I do have "downtime," I don't think of updating on our life.
I completed my first two semesters of nursing school this spring and have only 2 more to go! I can't believe how fast it went by. I am so excited to be a nurse, yet very nervous to transition into this new role. I had to take my LPN boards this summer due to originally being accepted as a LPN student by Weber State University, even though I am moving on this year to the RN program. The exam was nothing like I had expected. I felt like little of my studying reflected what I was tested on. I was so excited to learn that I passed and now hold a LPN license, even though I have no plans on using my license.
Nick and I are still separated by distance, but not for too much longer! We just learned today that he passed his Mandarin DLPT (Defensive Language Proficiency Test)!! Chinese has not been the easiest thing for Nick to learn (it doesn't seem easy for anyone!), but he still never gave up. He finished the course successfully, and has earned an Associate's Degree in Mandarin. Great job babe! All of that being said, he will be graduating this month, and will be returning home. We are both VERY excited to be back in the same state together. I am also anxious to see how Murphy reacts to having his Dad home. :)
We will be living in a little apartment for the next year while I finish school. After I graduate this upcoming spring, we will be looking into buying our first house.
I hope to update again later this month with pictures and more info on his graduation :)
