I really need to get better at updating this....
Biggest update so far: We moved in with Ashley and Lillian 4 weeks ago. The current plan is that Makenna and Lillian will share a room, but things are still crazy so right now she is still in our room with us.
I'm in my last semester of Nursing school (YAY!!!). The workload is lighter and more intense at the same time. It's pretty crazy because all "class" is over by the end of Feb. In the month of March I am in school all of 7 days. I have a mock job interview one day. 4 days of Simulation lab, a day of OR observation and a day of hospice observation. Then in April I have my preceptorship, which is where I am assigned to a nurse and I will work nine 12 hour shifts with that nurse. I don't know where I will be assigned, but the three areas I asked for (they will hopefully pick one of the 3) is family center/peds, 8th floor (cardiac/med-telly) or HealthSouth Rehab Hospital. My 1st choice would be family, then healthsouth, and lastly 8th floor.
After Preceptorship is done, SO AM I!!!! I will just have pinning rehearsal and the pinning ceremony on May 1st!!!
Michael has submitted his application for the transition program. He will hopefully find out the 1st week of March if he got in or not. Crossing our fingers that he gets in!!!!
Yesterday was Valentine's Day. I surprised Michael by driving to where he works and decorating his car with sappy V-Day decorations. I got a few weird looks from the 3-11 nurses that were getting off. He took Makenna into town as soon as he got home so that I could sleep in. Then he made me breakfast and gave me flowers and chocolate. I also got him some chocolate and a funny card. Makenna got him a card and picked out a little stuffed frog for me. Our real celebration was last night. Makenna spent the night with my parents and we cashed in some of our Club Carlson (Country Inns and Suites rewards program) points and got a hotel room. Best night ever!!! You don't realize how much you miss being with just your spouse until you've been living with family for over 6 months. It was great and relaxing. They gave us a late check-out so we didn't leave until noon.
Now I need to get off and write a research paper for school. :-) Hopefully I'll update more regularly now.

WOW, I can't believe this is your last semester already! That's so wonderful. Keep it up, you're almost there. Thank you for the update. I've been wondering how your family is doing lately. That's great you guys moved in with Ashley, I bet she really appreciates it.
