Welcome Home Wicket

Wicket is finally home. He stayed with my dad and Sara while Kyle and I moved over here and got settled down. Then the week that we were going to come get him, he wobbled right in front of a car and got ran over. He fractured his pelvis and had to stay in the kitty hospital for a couple of weeks. But now he is out of the hospital and is at his new home. He can't walk yet, but is still getting around the house about as good as before the accident. He still shakes and whines and sleeps a lot. I think over all, he has adjusted well to his new home and will be as good as new soon (well as good as a wobbly Wicket could ever be).

Sorry I don't have any pictures of our new place yet but I lost the cord to download pics off of my camera.

I'm a real nurse now!

After 2 years of hard classwork, tests and stress I graduated from nursing school; but that didn't mean that I was done studying or being stressed. I continued studying everyday until I took my boards last Wednesday. I also continued to stress and everyday that my test got closer I got more stressed. So I just took my test on Wednesday that says if my past 2 years of hard work was worth it and that I get to be a nurse. I then had to wait two days before my results posted online. That meant two more days being stressed wondering if I put the right answer on enough questions to pass. Thoughts kept running through my head about well, maybe I should have given that medication instead or maybe I should have done this first rather than what I said I would do first. AAAAH I wanted to scream. Then finally Friday came and I could check on the internet and see if I am good enough to be a nurse. I waited patiently as the page loaded and....I DID IT!!! I passed the test and am now officially a Registered Nurse. :) That is very good since I start work Monday as an RN in pediatrics. I guess all of my hard work did pay off, and maybe now I can relax a little bit.
