Blessed

I really want to journal and then print out my blog book, so here it goes. The main reason we moved to the Boise area was so that Kent could get into the nursing program at a nice Idaho community college. CWI's nursing deadline was March 15th and we started working on the application process in January. Then we kinda got caught up in everything else and the deadline came fast. The last thing Kent needed was to pass a computer skills test and submit the results. No big deal, right? WRONG! Super hard test that talked about RAMS and data storage, blah blah blah. So he only was able to do one section and stress about the others while trying to study random bits, anyway we decided that he wasn't going to spend five hours in the testing center on stuff he didn't know and that the deadline would pass and we would look at other schools. We kinda got discouraged last weekend and couldn't understand why everything fell into place to move out here....until Thursday Kent was logging onto the CWI website and it said the nursing application deadline is extended untill April 1st! Who does that? What school changes an admission date that has been set at least a year in advance and gets hundreds of applicants!!?!! It is a miracle I tell you! So Kent has been studying all about Excel and Outlook and random computer info, while we cross our fingers that he passes the test on Thursday. Crazy,blessed! We are also blessed in the job area, that is what I keep telling myself, cause I am working everyday instead of M, W, F only. I really miss getting things done at home and being with Owen, but Kent is doing such a great job and really bonding with Owen and I know it is only temporary. Kent said the other day that he doesn't even mind changing Owen's diapers and he has been teaching him new words like tissue and eyes... Kent is half way through the CNA program and doing well in his two online classes. Clyde is a really good dog and we have fun all being outside. I feel bad that we don't make a lot of time for family, but we are still trying to get into the swing of things and work out a schedule to get everything done.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Yes, we have a puppy! A tri-colored springer spaniel AKA hunting dog. Owen and Kent both love Clyde and I am just happy he is in the garage now :]

Happy green, us!

Owen loved being outside and he actually kept his SHOES ON!
