Happy Easter

Easter morning...the young one is home safe and the older one is off to celebrate her 21st. I hope she gets home safe too. We tried to give her the responsibility lecture at the airport but she was a little impatient with that. If she reads this, she'll know we're still thinking about it! It's so good to have the kid home. We missed her terribly. I know she had a good time back east, but I can't even imagine her being gone for over a month this summer. That will definitely be hard.

First big test in A&P tomorrow. I turned in all my paperwork for the Ultrasound application last Tuesday...the deadline was Friday. Now I just have to wait until early May when the letters go out. Based on what I've heard, I am preparing myself for a rejection letter. Apparently, in the Allied Health programs, there are so many applicants that they may just be looking at the ones that have already completed all of their prereqs, and not look at any that are still completing them this quarter. If that happens, I'll just finish up, work for a year or so and then apply again. So I'm going to tentatively start a job humt.

Speaking of jobs, J got a promotion last week. I'm so proud of him. He's been with the company less than a year and they promoted him already. He's been working so hard, it's nice to see it rewarded. The extra money ain't half bad either :-)

Happy Easter everyone!

Back to school

Well, this is the last day of spring break. Tomorrow is back to school day, at least for me. The young one has break next week, and is headed off on a plane by herself for the first time ever. She's nervous, but she's smart....she'll do great.

Yesterday we went to the passport agency to get a passport for the kid and to change the name on mine. Turns out I need a whole new one, even though mine is only 2 years old. So another $62 to the gubment. At least my picture on the new one is much better. With all the fees, passport agency processing, US fee, picture fee, etc, turns out it was over $200 just for two passports. Guess we'd better use them. Living so close to Canada though, I'm sure we will. The new passport rule for Canada goes into effect the end of this year, so we'll need them to cross the border after that. Actually, the man and I are considering a trip to BC next weekend after dropping the kid off at the airport. We've heard tell of a Dutch Pancake restuarant there. It's only a three hour drive.

If anyone back home is reading these entries, post a comment! I'd like to know you're at least interested sometimes in what's going on here. I know, I know...you're all super busy with your own lives. Me too. But c'mon, throw me a bone every once in a while.

Speaking of bone, here's some Alpha Female love for you:
