Catch - Up

I know, I know... I have been very bad about updating this blog. I am sorry. I could give a whole bunch of excuses as to why but instead how about I catch you up with all that has happened over here in California.

October 14th through the 17th...

Greg had to go to a conference. Being the amazing husband he is, this time he invited me! So on Thursday the 14th we headed North to Berkeley for Greg's conference and for me to get out of the apartment. We spent Thursday exploring Berkeley, and Friday I stayed at the hotel studying and Greg went to his conference. We had a really great time in Berkeley and on Saturday we took the subway over to San Francisco for the day. We ended up walking about ten miles since we wanted to see as much as possible. Most of the pictures you have been seeing on the other blog are from that trip. But here are just a few more...

Nope, a bomb didn't go off this was my study area at the hotel...

Greg and I happy to get warm in our new sweatshirts...see the look on Greg's face I knew exactly how to fix that...

Yup...works every time, or is that for me? Can't remember. ;)

October 31...

No trick-or-treaters...but Greg did carve a pumpkin.

November 4th through the 7th...

Surprise trip to Flagstaff! No one knew that we were coming, and it was a lot of fun surprising everyone. We got in late to Flagstaff and I think it took my mom a few minutes to figure out what the heck was going on . It was really nice to see family, sit by a fire in the fireplace and get out of Los Angeles. My mom just happened to be taking care of my brother's two dogs while we were there so it was a little more chaotic than usual...

November 13th...

Greg's event Exploring Your Universe took place at UCLA. I worked at the information booth and Greg ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. Greg founded this event last year and so this was the second year he has put it together. I think it went wonderfully although in the weeks leading up to the event I don't think I saw Greg for more than ten minutes a day... I don't have any pictures of the event, but I will try to get some from Greg to post soon.

November 18th....

Pico got a haircut.

Well now that you are all caught up I will do my best to post more frequently. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope you all have a fabulous Turkey Day!

Four on the Fourth!

I made Pico a hat for his fourth birthday, here is his reaction.

He went from boredom, to thinking maybe he could eat it...the fact that it was paper was very disappointing for him. Which is why he looked at me like "what do you want me to do with this?"

HaPpY BiRtHdAy Little Pic!!!!!! I don't know what I would do with out you.

This and That

Do you remember this post? Well it was another piece to the puzzle.

I found out in late September that I was in the top 250 on the wait list for starting the clinical portion of the nursing program. What that meant was that on October 29, 2010 I needed to take an exam that covered math, science, vocabulary, and reading comprehension in order to become a "qualified applicant." This test covered everything, even sciences that I was not required to take such as Physics...thank goodness for Greg and his big brain! Anyway I studied and studied and last Friday I took the test. I was so stressed out and worried about the test that I cried when I found out the results are available immediately following the exam...I did not want them!

However, after the four hour exam was over I was thrilled to see that I was in the ninety-fifth percentile, and had absolutely passed the exam. I should say that I did make Greg check the results, before I believed my score but I think it is finally starting to sink in. I am hopeful that I will be starting clinical's in the Spring and will find out for sure later this month.

I just want to thank my husband publicly for his support during this past month. I was not the most friendly person, and I think he would shoot me if he saw my hair in a bun and me in sweat pants one more time. He was there every step of the way picking up the slack and encouraging me. Thank you hun so much, you are an amazing husband and friend. I love you.

To my mom, thank you for letting me cry for the last two weeks before the test every single time I called you...which was every single day. I needed that.

To everyone who takes the time to check this blog thank you for being patient with my lack of blogging!

I am back baby!

I will be posting about this later this week!
