Grades

So I got my grades in the mail just before Christmas, but I didn't open them until last night. Anyone who has been around me in the last 4 months knows just how much this semester kicked my a*@!!!! I only had 1 day off a week between school and work, and that day was usually spent reading and studying. And then, 4 weeks into the semester, Marc tears his achilles and has to have surgery, taking him off his feet for 6 weeks (a.k.a. no help around the house and playing nurse at work, school, AND home). But, after all of that hard work, here is the end result:

Holy Cow!! This is my FIRST 4.0 EVER in my college career. I'd like to say thanks to my Mom who came and washed our clothes and cleaned my kitchen when I didn't even know which way was up, and my wonderful husband who was so understanding and gave me the space to study.

Welcome to our Blog!

Ok, so I finally joined the world of blogging! I've kept up with most of my friends this way and it has really been a lot of fun. So bear with me while I learn how to manage all of the fun things that blogs can do!!

First, let me update you on what has been going on. Marc and I were married in August of 2006. We're living in the Austin area and bought our first home August of 2007. Marc is a Produce Manager for HEB Groceries and I'm working for St. Davids Medical Center as an RN, where I've been since June of 2003. I work in Telemetry and Intermediate Care (essentially ICU stepdown). I got a little crazy and decided to go back to school, so I'll finish with my Masters this May! I'll be a Clinical Nurse Specialist - similar to a Nurse Practitioner, but with more emphasis on education and complex patients.

Addie is our Blue Lacy pup. She's about 15 months old, and definately keeps us on our toes. I know most of you are asking what in the world a Blue Lacy is, so check it out: http://www.lacydog.com/.

Well, I think that is about all I can think of for my first post - keep checking in on us!
