2 years later and we're settled in our home and I'm half way through nursing school!

I can't believe I got into nursing school at Sac State last year. It has been a crazy journey so far. I have so many mixed emotions: excitement, fear, and LOTS of guilt! I will never again be the same stay-at-home mom I was before nursing school. I will miss that part of my life so much. It's all I have known for the last 19 years after all. But on to new adventures! I am hoping that this year of nursing school will be more enjoyable than last year since I will be working on OB and PEDS. School starts in September, so we'll see.

The kids are all doing great. Alysha moved home, Andrew graduated from high school, Michael just got his driving permit, Megan just moved up a level in dance and will be in pre-point this year, Zack is going into the 5th grade and is an avid reader and Zane is the snuggly-est 2nd grader ever. Kip's business is slow still, but we are hopeful that things will pick up.

Overall, I think we are doing pretty well with all the changes life has thrown at us. Next year (after I graduate) will be a very different and exciting new life for us. I think it will be great!
