Update

WOWZA! It's been forever since I've posted on here. SO SORRY BOUT THAT! School is absolutley insane. I should actually be studying right now, but I really need to update!
Since our last post, the boat ride, I just started school. WELL NOW! I'm into it full steam and it's insane! Clinical is really fun, so far. We were at the nursing home the first 2 and now at the hospital. It is hard, because we are literally thrown in there and go at it. The hardest part is charting in the unknown computer system and not knowing where anything is. Also, I'm so concerned with technique and doing everything right, I don't really have time to critically think through situations yet. Only time brings that on. I go to the Operating Room for a whole day the week of Thanksgiving. That will be awesome! And I already saw a colonoscopy, which was really nifty! We have a test every week until the end of semester and something due every monday!!! It's a bit nuts! And on November 1st our medication quizes start, so that will be just insane!!
The boys are doing really good. Kaiden is still in speech therapy for his S and Z sounds. He knows how to say it, but it's hard to change how you have talked for 3 years in 2 months when your only 3! They still love going to Dawn's house and love the attention they get for just being the 2 of them there. Now I don't have to worry bout other crazy kids beating them up, just those two beating up on eachother! Kaiden has already given brother a nice shiner and they go at it all day long! I can't imagine what it's going to be like when they get older!!! Kaiden will be starting pre-school soon. I go to his open house on Wed, 22nd, at 10am and then I'll know more about it.
DENNIS IS HIRED ON AT THE POST OFFICE!!!!! So exciting! He had a bunch of hoops to jump through but so far it's been ok. He has a test on Monday, however, that if he doesn't pass he's done, but he had an entire class focused on how to pass this test, in Baltimore Friday. Sucky thing is he is basically at the will of the post office. He has to work for an entire year before he can become career, which means considered part time, even if you work 100 hours a week, and NO BENEFITS! Thank the Lord we got the medicaid stuff! He has to go to the academy on the 29th, 30th, & 31st in Elkton. He's going to stay with Aunt Mala or Dawn, not sure what they decided yet. The boys and I are driving down there and going trick or treating there so he won't miss Halloween!

So things are a whirlwind here!! I have no time to breathe! I haven't even gone to the gym in 2 months, because I feel so guilty that I'm not studying or spending time with the boys. It's a nutty, brain twisting, agonizing feat to manage my school work, the boys, and any personal time I can get! BLAH! But I have this Tuesday off from Clinicals because I volunteered to work the week of Thanksgiving. So we are going to Aunty Crystal's for pumpkin carving and a sleep over!! OH YA, AUNTY CRYSTAL IS ENGAGED!!! YIPPEEEEEEE!!! The guys name is Derek and he is the best guy around, of course except for Dennis!! CONGRATULATIONS AUNTY SYSTLE!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Miss you guys all terribly! I am planning on coming home for 10 days in January before school!! I'm excited! I am missing my family like crazy right now!
XOXOX MUAH! XOXOXO
