Midterms already?

Wow time flies! I am still doing clinical at Eastern State Hospital and really enjoy it. We have a lot of fun out there. I also found out I get to do my Practicum at an ER here in town, but I don't know which one. I have been working and studying quite a bit and Henry has been working and picking up the slack around the house. Not much has changed with us, but we are still a live and doing well.

update 9/8/09

We had a great Labor day weekend. We went to Portland and did some shopping and visiting of old friends and some family. We got to see an old friend of mine from high school youth group and mission trip days. Its funny how there are people who you dont' see for a while, and when you do you feel like you never left off. This friend is one of those people. I love seeing her! We drove to Portland this time for a change instead of flying (weird thing to say, I know) but it gave us some good time to talk and just spend with each other.

I started school back in Aug.for the last time! Well at least for now. I graduate Dec. 13th 2009 at 3pm! I just have to make it from now until then. Its already been a busier semester then I was expecting. We have a lot of busy work to do and research projects. It is interesting stuff, but I'm not a fan of writing research papers and filling out useless paperwork. So, I think to survive this semester I am going to have to get very good with time management.

One of the things I have been learning about is Psychiatric nursing and it is kind of scary how close normal and crazy are. An example would be people who seem to be scatter brained, when they talk, their thought don't really seem connected, are showing a sign of Mania (as in bipolar.) I don't know how many of you have heard me tell a story, but I'm all over the place. Just ask my family or Henry. And for all you smart Astronauts out there, YES I am normal!

Henry is doing well. He has a BBQ, some great steak, and a wife who loves him. What else could a man want?

I'm trying to update the blog a bit more often, but school often gets in the way and its a bit more important then a blog at this point. So in short, don't expect a weekly update from this blog, but sorry it wasn't updated sooner. :)
