Back to Blogging! School Has Taken Over Our Lives!

Sorry, I've been MIA with the blog for a while! We have had little to no free time around here! Adam is in class 2-3 days per week and works in the Veterans Center for work study, as well. He has been doing very well in school and just recently passed his first fire certification test. In the next couple months, he will take his EMT certification test. He also has applied at a few fire departments. We'll cross our fingers!

I work 25 hours a week (looking to work even less in the future) at the dental office and have class 3 nights a week at St. Kate's in Minneapolis and clinicals at a nursing home every other weekend. Two of those weekdays, class goes until 10pm, so that really runs me down! Right now, I am on spring break, hence the free time to post this! Classes have been going great! I got an A in my first class and we now started our next class of the semester. This one will be more intense because it focuses on full assessments of individuals. Our clinicals this semester are at a nursing home, but the remaining semesters will be at a hospital. Really looking forward to that transition!!! Nursing homes are somewhat uncomfortable for me, but it's a good learning experience!

I have to say that Adam has been awesome and great support with my new schedule! He helps a lot with cleaning, cooking and laundry. Not to mention the much needed back rubs due to my permanently knotted up back and shoulders! I will owe him hugely someday when this craziness is over! We are just really looking forward to the Summer...no class....very little working...and a lot of us time and relaxation!
