New Ride!

Well J has sold one ride and has a new one on the way....nope not a car - a kayak! He has been wanting a pedal drive (I believe that is the term) for a few months now and found one for a great deal in Texas. He posted his for sale on Sunday and sold it last night -Praise the Lord!! He will be heading to Texas for a guys week with his Dad and brother..they will go elk hunting and get in lots of fishing at the coast while he is there! I think it was Brad who found the kayak for sale in Texas and it was like the one J wanted, and was a great deal, so Brad will be picking it up sometime and J will use while he is on his trip out there and then have it shipped back! So needless to say it is a bittersweet time in this household right now...J is a bit bummed because that means no fishing for a month, yet excited because he will have a sweet water whip waiting on him in Texas!

In the nursing world, I was officially accepted in the RN program at the school i just graduated from. I chose to start next September. The bridge program will be from September to December in which is all online except 2 week of clinicals and then I will be in school full time January - June and then that will be it and hopefully pass my boards to be an RN!! WOOHOO.

Also, this week I applied for a job at Fort Eustis that is near our house to work in one of their clinics. I love the job where I am now, but in the long run is not a good option for me. I have been wanting to go back civil service because of all the benefits not to mention the pay is better. But the big ticket that sells me into to going back civil service is that everytime we move, all my benefits go with me (that is,if I continue on as civil service at the next destination we head to.) But if I stay in the civilian sector, I have to almost start all over at the bottom each time we move. So if you think about it in the weeks to come, please say a prayer that all the decisions if any, that need to be made are the right ones. And if I do not get this job, it is ok too, because I have a great job right now!

That is about all going on around here this week!
