Good times

Well, I made it through my first class. It is called Theoretical Foundations of Nursing...otherwise known as A Class That Really Makes My Head Hurt!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I like to think deep from time to time. However, this class is way beyond that. Basically, it is a glorified ethics class directed towards nursing. If you have ever taken ethics....you know how much fun it can be. I don't want to sound bitter or anything. I truly am hoping to learn a lot from the class but I can already tell it is not going to be one of my favorites! Who knows...maybe I will change my mind.

Ben and I went to the Brad Paisley/Dierks Bentley Concert last night with a big group of our friends. We aren't huge fans but recognized many of their songs and they put on a great show. I tried to take pictures but it was too dark and they didn't really turn out well.

On another note....Ben is still working for Bob:) We are very happy about this! It will be more of a part-time deal for now but hopefully things will turn back around someday soon. God is so good!

Not much else to report today. Hope all is well with you and yours!!

Happy Birthday Ben

I know, I know...it has been a while. Not much has changed at this point. I am anxiously awaiting school to start on January 15th. My classes are scheduled from 4pm- 7pm every other Thursday and then 4pm-10pm every other Tuesday. I am excited but still a bit nervous, too. I won't actually be in the clinical setting for the next couple of semesters so it is basically going to be a lot of book-reading, paper-writing, and test-taking for me!! yay!!!!!

I am really enjoying working weekends. I miss my friends on the weekday shift but I like my new weekend friends, too. Here lately I have been picking up quite a few shifts during the week before I start school to try and make a little more money. Unfortunately, it is looking like Ben's job with Bob Reed Builders is coming to an end due to the economy. It is very sad because Bob has been such a great boss to Ben and he has really learned a lot from him. He is currently discussing a job opportunity with another builder so we shall see where that takes us.

So....today is Ben's 29th birthday!! Let me just tell you a little something about this man. He loves to ruin surprises!! He was the kid who would find his Christmas presents months in advance and this year....out of a bizzillion things I could have gotten him from Bass Pro Shops....he guessed what I got him two weeks before Christmas!! I played it off like he was wrong but I was soooooo mad that he got it right!! I mean seriously!!! So I had planned a little surprise get together for his birthday tonight at Osaka. I kid you not, he has already ruined the surprise. Last night he was asking me "So, what do you want to do tomorrow night? I think we should get some people together and go out to eat." The boy was trying to plan his own party!!! So I then had to tell him that I was the best wife ever and had already planned it all:) Haha.

So Happy Birthday to my man! Love you Ben!!
