Congratulations are in order!

Well, its unofficially official, Caryl has passed her RN boards! I'm so proud of her. She tackled a monumental task, and in the longest 2 years of our lives, we are moving on up! Caryl said the exam she took bared no similarities between her 2 yrs in school, or the prep course she paid $400 + for, or the practice exams she had been taking since finishing school. The exam was automated and ranged anywhere from 75 to 200+ questions depending on how you did on the test. She said that recieving the minimum 75 questions was not indicitive of how you did on the test because you could have done really well or really poorly. Well Caryl got the minimum, and since she had no idea about the questions on the exam, she was extremely nervous. In the two days it took to get the results, Caryl almost made herself sick. However, by the grace of God, she passed the exam, and as soon as her results are mailed to her, she will officially be an RN. Caryl started her new job at Warrenton Manor, a nursing home in town shortly after graduation, and is settling into her new career. I'm so excited for her. It's finally over. Perhaps she can start to relax a little now, and enjoy life a little more, and the anxiety of school will finally subside.
Well, thats the news here. I can't wait to see everybody on the 4th! TTFN

Just thought I'd log in to say hi! So, "Hi". Well, I guess that's it for now, I'll talk at you all later. No, I can't do that. I'd better share something. Let's see, what's going on in my life now. Hmmm. Well, Sophie started dance lessons 2 weeks ago. She goes to Miss Angie's in Wentzville. She's super cute in her little leotard and tutu. She does tap first, then ballet, then tumbling. Its an hour long course on wednesday nights for 8 weeks. We go to Mickey D's for dinner before class because they have the family night. We're starting swimming lessons on monday which is 4 days a week for an hour for 4 weeks. She's gonna be busy that's for sure, but she's very excited and does very well listening to her instructor. Hopefully this will spawn a real interest for her, and as she gets older, she can get more involved.

I'm really looking forward to the 4th party. I'm gonna try my hardest to be there. Caryl started her new job at the nursing home, so I don't know if she'll be able to make it or not. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

I got my acceptance letters from Webster University this past week, and my diploma from SCCC came in the mail as well. It's official. I am done with that place, and starting my new career at Webster. I'm very excited, and a little nervous. Alot of those courses at SCCC felt like a joke, so I hope I'm prepared for the real deal. I guess only time will tell. Well that's it for real this time. chat at you later~
