8 Months

I'm still having a hard time believing it's really April...but I'm glad it is.
April means baseball season and Resurrection Day and Spring Break and home! As of today, April also means that Dan and I have been married 8 months. (No snickering from the 25 years+ crowd). Pretty exciting to us.

This semester has been a crazy one for sure, but one that leads us both closer and closer to graduation. Dan can actually say, "I'm graduating next month!" I can say, "I'll be a level 3 next month!" Oh, we cannot wait.

We have a lot going on before the cap and gown and celebration. Some good, some not so fun, but all necessary.
Tomorrow: we go home! First Lodi for Good Friday and Resurrection Day.
Monday: Santa Rosa for the rest of Spring Break...including a Red Sox game!
Tuesday: Stanford (CT)
Wednesday: Stanford (Meet with oncologist about CT and deciding when to replace his hip) (I'm nervous, Dan's not. Story of our life.)
Saturday: Back to our La Mirada home.

After break, Dan has teaching observation, papers, projects, etc. But luckily, no more PT. He's on a home regimen until he gets his new hip. By May 23rd...he's a Biola grad!

After break for me, Peds rotation, trying to convince the nursing department to let me do two oncology preceptorships, work, CNSA Treaurer (kind of like nursing school AS), and figuring out how to schedule this summer. By May 23rd...I'm a level 3!

So, as you can see, April means a lot of busyness and hopefulness. It means one month from "freedom."

Oy! If I want to go home tomorrow, I need to pack before work. Apparently, everybody and their brother decided to have surgery today and the floor is packed. It's going to be a busy night.

Good thing Dan is driving tomorrow...that means his passenger can just sleep her way to NorCal :)
