Well, I have been meaning to post for some time now. We still don't have internet access at our place, but it was high time to post an update! So much has happened, so I guess I will just give a concise summary of events:

-I graduated. :D My parents flew out here to attend the graduation ceremonies and stay with us for a few days. I officially have my bachelor's degree. I am a nurse, although I won't be a registered nurse (RN) until I pass my board exam. That will (hopefully) take place at the beginning of July.

-We moved. I think BJ's posts about covered this one. We really like our condo, and we are mostly unpacked, although there are still some boxes to work on and we're still deliberating about where to hang our pictures.

-I went to Oregon to spend a week with my family. I attended the VPA (Voices for the Performing Arts) concert (this is my mother's non-profit organization brainchild). She is the artistic director for the foundation, and she directs the audition-choirs: an adult choir and a children's choir. My sister Cara sang in the adult choir, and Anna sang in the children's choir. Collin accompanied the children's choir on the piano, and Tayler manned the sound and light booth. My dad took pictures. Just about everyone was involved. They did a great job with their Broadway themed concert! It was great to have a little vacation and spend some fun time with my family. We all wished BJ could have come, but I am glad that he thought of the trip.

-BJ and I are teaching the 3-4 year olds (Sunbeams) class at church. They are quite energetic, and cute, and well, it is going to be quite an adventure.

-I started my first day of work at the health department today. I work in the well-child and birth control clinic on one day, and the cancer prevention clinic on the second day. I will be just doing training, observing, and practicing under supervision until I pass boards and get my license. It is going to be a lot of information to remember, but I think I will really like working there. We do physicals, and a bunch of other things. Lots of teaching.

-We are attending hypnobirthing prenatal classes. I know lots of people think it's a weird, cosmic, hippie idea, but I have found it to be mostly a very well grounded, logical, and scientific method. It is the method I am most confident in in helping me through natural childbirth. I will post a little bit later about what the method is all about and how it works. And I will let you know how it all goes afterwards.

That's all for now. I will post some pictures, and post about some other stuff, hopefully soon.
