He did it!

Oh how we've waited for this day! Mark passed his test! After several set backs (which are still continuing) three years of sacrifice has a purpose. Mark has already been offered a job at St. Alphonsus which he has accepted. Unfortunately he has to wait to receive his certificate which could take up to 90 days. After waiting so long just to get permission to take the test, we're a little frustrated. He should have been practicing last month and things keep getting delayed. He was also supposed to get two certificates - one as a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, the other as a certified Nurse Specialist. We are still trying to work things out, but it appears the CNS will not be happening unless he wants to put in another 500-800hrs of clinicials. It's not worth it! I'm just excited to have my husband back - no more studying - yeah! Although he keeps bringing up something about a doctorate. Not anytime soon, I say!

Sam has been sick (and of course passing it on). I just thought it was cute how I find him sleeping sometimes.

Taylor gave her first presentation in school on Peacocks. She did a good job. Sorry the picture is so dark.
