We decided since we've been married for a year and a half, we'd better update our pictures!
I'm so glad Dan didn't drop me!



Whew! Another week of school is over! There's only 14 more! Actually that sounds terrible. Fourteen still seems like a lot! BUT I'm trying to be optimistic....SO 2 weeks conquered and I'm feeling great!!!!
Dan has a huge final tomorrow that is 70% of his final grade in the class. Thank heavens the subject is microbiology and everything that encompasses! He's practically an expert when it comes to anything creepy and crawling!
As for me, I'm still hanging in there at UNO. I'm still part time due to residency rules, but I really am enjoying it! I love the elementary I work at. The kids are great...for the most part!
Our new Sunbeams this year are giving us a run for our money, but we wouldn't ask for it any other way! We just hope our own kids...that is if we have any after we're through with this calling...jk...don't give other people such a tough time!



P.S. Thanks Jenn for taking the pictures for us!

SNOW DAY!
After our long holiday vacation in Utah and Idaho, we've finally made it home...to Omaha! Dan still kinda cringes when he calls Omaha our home. I think it's growing on him. He's just not used to establishing a new home every few years like me.
The drive back (home) had a few stormy parts, but all-in-all we were lucky to have such nice clean roads! We were able to save a bunch of money because we drove instead of flying which has been such a blessing everything worked out!
But now that we're home, the holidays don't seem over. It was really REALLY sad taking down our Christmas tree. But we had plenty of gifts to unwrap from under the tree! My mom sent us 3 boxes of gifts and my dad sent us one too! It was like Christmas all over again! It was so much fun! We love having two Christmas'! We loved all our gifts this year! I'll have to post a few pictures of them now that our camera is in working order!
All this vacation has gotten me a little lazy, but I'm sticking to my New Years resolutions! I've been working out 5 times a week! I'm feeling great! (I've made it to Jan6th and I'm holding strong!)
Dan is, of course, back to the books. He's got a test this Friday and he only started back up on Monday. Creighton is pretty hardcore! Last night we got roughly 3-5 inches of snow and we're expected to get more today...it's been snowing nonstop all morning. Of course work for me was canceled, but Creighton is open...snow, sleet, hail, or blizzard! The roads aren't plowed...and I'm stuck at home worried. Today was Dan's turn to drive for the carpool...our car is having enough problems as it is! Thank goodness we just got new tires!
Last night Dan helped me finish up my nursing application and this morning I submitted it! I just finished ordering all my transcripts to be sent to UNMC so now all I've got to do is wait...and wait...and wait!!!
