Exciting News!

So, a lot of exciting things have happened the past week. First, Jeremy and I put a bid in on a house! After much negotiating, WE GOT IT! It is the most perfect little cottage home in a great neighborhood. We are WAY excited! We got the news on Thursday that we were going in to contract! We immediately began furniture and paint shopping! We have lots of decisions to make but its going to turn out great! Couldn't have been more excited. Then I came back down to reality. I had to take my exit exam the next morning for nursing school. It was my second time to take it and I was really hoping to pass it this time. I was so nervous! When I finally got up the nerve to submit the test I was shocked with what I saw.... I PASSED! I noticed myself smiling sitting right there at the computer. I couldn't have been happier! We have a few weeks before we close on the house but we have plenty to do before then! Our new home and my college graduation are just SO close! I have submitted a few applications and start the interview process on Thursday of this week. I am looking forward to more good news soon!  I haven't felt this happy in a long, LONG time. OH YEAH, Jeremy promised to take me Skydiving if I passed my exit exam.....so be looking for some awesome pics soon! :)

Super-Duper Busy!

So this last semester has just been crazy crazy busy! I usually don't let school stress me out but WOW, it has just been wild! Getting ready for graduation and the beginning of our new lives requires so many decisions! Not the best feeling for an indecisive procrastinator. Not only must I manage that, I also have to remember that my studently responsibilities are not quite over with! So much for one brain to handle! But....what I can say is that I feel this is going to be the most exciting part of my life thus far. Beginning my first real "big girl" job, possibly house hunting, and maybe even....well ya know :)....I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER with where we are in our lives! 
Laker-Lou is getting so big! Momma decided today that we had to start him on an exercise schedule. First day went good!

My dad asked us to go to The Stockyards in Fort Worth with him and Sandra. Of course, we took him up on the offer. This is JJ and Tripp on the way to Granny's house!

This was pretty funny! We wrapped up the trip with a little bit of shopping and wine tasting. It was a great weekend!
