Wow! Time flies!

I can't believe it's been TWO MONTHS since I've updated this! So much has been going on...

In January, Brooke had her tonsils out right after the new year (I'll do another post on this for pictures). Then I started my actual nursing classes. I have never studied harder in my life. I can't believe how much there is to know! But when I think about it, I'm glad there's so much to know because of how much nurses have to do. I'm just glad I've started finally after years of planning and waiting to start.

Also in January and February, Kara & Brooke were playing Jr. Jazz basketball and it was in full swing (there will be another post on this with pics, and at some point I'll have some videos uploaded to view for those out of town relatives who'd like to watch). Between school, practices, and games, the girls stayed super busy.

In February, I started a service scholarship with AmeriCorps (meaning I do the hours of service, then the government gives me scholarship money). 450 hours to do by next February. I'm hoping to get them all done by December so the money can be applied to my tuition in January. So far my service hours have included volunteering at the elementary school, knitting infant hats for the hospital (they send each baby home with a knitted cap!), and my nursing classes count too.

In March, Jeff found out he was accepted to graduate school at USC! He will start his program in May and be done next May. It's a 12 month program and he'll graduate with his Master's of Art in Teaching along with a teaching credential! We're very excited!

So, I guess more posts are to follow throughout the weekend catching up on a few things. Hopefully I don't go on a posting drought again for awhile! :)
