Past Due for an Update!

So, it appears I have neglected this poor thing for a little over 18 months. I suppose it is time to update what's been going on. Well, nursing school did not work out in my favor, which I have totally come to terms with. It took awhile, but I am ok with it now. I knew my desire was to work in surgery. So this past fall, I started the Surgical Technology program at Owens Community College. I had a great first semester back, finishing with a 3.0 G.P.A. I am three weeks into my second semester and will be starting my clinical rotation next week. I am chomping at the bit to get into the OR and finally get to see/do some real work! Speaking of work, I am still working as a sterile tech at "the Bay". I love my job (most days) and the people I work with (most days). Quit Depot all together this past September (don't need a nursing school failure repeat) and have been focusing my time and energy on studying. Bec and I are great! Although she works two jobs and I am crazy busy between school and work, we still manage to make it work. After all, that's what love is all about, right? Family is doing well (both mine and Bec's). Welcomed a niece, Brooklyn Mae, in May to my brother Andy and his wife Missy. Big brother Aiden turned 2 in September and he is so good with his little sister. We also welcomed a SECOND set of twins to Bec's brother Steve and his wife Katie in August. The bubbas were very excited to become big brothers to sister Molly and brother Emmett. All of these babies around us have my damn internal clock tick ticking away. Sometimes, it feels like it's screaming at me. Eventually, we plan to get pregnant, but are putting it off until I am done with school. I know, our eggs aren't getting any fresher, but we have to do for us while we can before we have someone else to think about. Ok, that should bring everyone up to speed. I am hoping to be motivated to post more often, as I always have material to post about. However, I make no promises!
