Not Too Much To Say

Well, another week closer to Bryan coming back for a visit.  Not much has happened since he left - homework, clinicals and packing a little.  Boredom has set in...  Big time.  Oh, there's things I could be doing: my new Zumba DVD's, cleaning/packing more, studying for my board exams (which, by the way, I say I will do every night when I go to bed - "tomorrow, I'll study for my boards, I WILL".  Then tomorrow comes and goes with no studying getting done.  Maybe tomorrow.

The past three semesters seemed to have flown by, but this one - oivee!  It is DRAGGING.  We still have six months to go and the whole class is already has short-timers.  Nerves are frayed and tolerance is low.  NOT a good sign.  I hope my clinical instructor gets a move on and gets my Texas affiliations set up so I can do clinicals down there in Nov/Dec.

I have decided... because I know you all care... to move just as soon as I graduate (Jan 21) and take my exams in TX.  I just don't think I can stand being here another month and I think I'll be less stressed if I move first and then take the boards.  So the plan is to be 'home' Jan 23.  That's better, a date I can look forward to and plan for.

The Backyard

Bryan sent a few more photos of the house - the back yard.  It's rather quite large, especially since he'll have to mow it.  HAHA  Too bad it isn't fenced and we couldn't get the landlords to agree to fence it.  They did agree to a 20x30+ dog kennel for Hannah & Maggie.

Bryan says there's quite a bit of open space around so we will certainly start taking them on walks to burn up energy. He's even met some neighbor's and they want to set up play dates between their over-active Blue Heeler and our two - and they have a fenced yard!!

New House

It seems so weird to me that I'm not helping to move into our new house in Texas... that other people are seeing it before me, cleaning it, deciding where the furniture goes, what cabinets hold what.  Weird and a bit disconcerting and honestly, I'm not happy about it.  Happy that Bryan has someone help him move and get things set up - not happy that that someone is not me.  Boo hoo - pity party of one, pity party of one.  :-)

But really, MANY thanks to his Mom, my nephew and his sister and bro-in-law for ALL of their help, scrubbing, cleaning, hoisting, moving, dragging...  all of our crap from two different storage units!  We couldn't have done it without your support and help!  THANK YOU!!!!

So here is a few photos of the new rental.  Now you know about as much about it as I do.  :-)
