Kevin Passed. Graduated. Hired. Enrolled.

So, if you haven't been following Erin and I so far in 2010, you have missed out on a lot. But over the past month, I have passed a few milestones in the school/career department.

In late May, I took the NCLEX exam. In mid June I found out that I passed! Took some clearing up of paperwork, but finally got word that I passed. No more checking every morning to see I was a RN before my feet even hit the ground.

Then, also in mid June, Erin and my parents convinced me to walk at my commencement ceremony. I didn't want too at first, but once there, I was glad I was pushed into. All the years of work and effort seem to culminate with classmates and friends. Kind of cool.

Then just today, I was offered a position at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. I currently work there as a secretary and will start full time as a RN at the end of July.

Oh, and let's not forget that it looks like I will be chasing another degree in the Fall. I am still teetering over pursuing a nursing education degree with clincal specialist in pediatrics or favoring the nurse informatics route.... Got most of the summer to decide....

In the meantime, I am grateful to all the friends and family that have shown support throughout the years. I couldn't have gotten this far without all the help around me.

Holding my Breath

Since school got out at the end of March, I was studying for my nursing license exam through the end of May. It was nice to get out once in awhile aside from studying and working to have some fun. Of course with Ryan, that usually involves doing something fun. On a great afternoon, we went golfing down on Waterman.

Our wives joined us riding along and making comments. And, yes. I was wearing flip flops and Erin forgot to grab some shoes for me. We didn't really keep score, just played until our backs started to hurt and wives started to wine....

Frogs and snails and puppy dogs' tails...

We're having a boy! They say that boys take up all your energy when you're pregnant, I believe it. At the end of the night, aka 8pm, I'm out.

Check out this racy photo.

That's all from lala land. Kevin's been wonderful. What a funny, handsome, loving husband he is.
