No word yet on if I will be called for the second step in the application process for the nursing program. I think we should know by the end of the month. I hope so anyway, the interviews are in the middle of October. I've started having nightmares about the letter coming in the mail, always a letter of rejection for me and acceptance for my husband. And, though I know I will be happy for my husband, I will be sad for myself if I am not accepted with him.
I don't think I have appreciated a break from schooling so much as I am these few weeks in between summer and fall quarter. I have taken 2 road trips with my best girlfriend, cleaned the house, and read Twilight (all 4 books) again. Want to see a couple pics from the road trips?
Here is a beach pic from the first trip:
We enjoyed a full day at Ocean Shores, just the two of us. She is the only other person I know who is happy to sit quietly on the jetty and watch the waves break across the rocks.
Next we loaded up the car again, and brought along one of her 16 year old daughters and headed to Forks, Wa. The drive was breath taking! I have sadly, much fewer pictures from this trip, as I forgot to charge the camera batteries the night before.
Here is one from the road:
Although our destination was Forks, Wa, in reality it was just a road trip around the Hwy 101 loop. We spent just as much time in other stops as we did in Forks. Next time we are taking both the twins and will plan a Forks, La Push event.
This trip was good for my soul. We all laughed so hard our stomachs hurt, we forgot to breath and we still all break out in giggles at the mention of certain subjects. I so needed the time away from reality to de-stress. It was the best birthday present my husband could have given me.
