A lot of stuff has happened. We both graduated from BYU-I, then we were both just kind of stuck in working mode while mark was trying to find a graduate program. I became a manager at Taco Bell, not sure if you all already knew that or not, and Mark became a correctional officer. Then last spring/summer, Mark (and his best buddy Perry) both got accepted into the same Masters program for Social Work at NNU, so we are now currently living in Nampa Idaho. Mark is loving the program, and has even gotten a job as a CBRS, and is getting internship credit for it. Gotta love those paid internships right?
When we moved her last July, I immediately got to work on a CNA program, and am now an official CNA in the state of Idaho. I've decided that I want to be a nurse when I "grow up", so the first step was the CNA. Now I am going to Boise State to get all of my pre-requisites done so I can apply to the nursing program there. I am also registered for an EMT course that starts in June, and I will eventually apply to a Paramedic program as well. This is all super exciting for me, because when I first started college, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, but now I have a goal, and I am taking school more seriously. I am determined to get my GPA up, (2.5 now, which isn't really all that great), and to get into that program.
Later on in the year for Mark's program, he will need to start doing clinical counseling (I think), which he is excited about because he gets an office! I'm really happy for him because there are times when he comes home and he feels like this is what he is meant to do.
In other news, we have two dogs now. Kaia (pitt bull), which I think I may have already mentioned, and Ghost (white american shepherd. think german shepherd, but all white), our newest family member. If you picture John Snow's wolf from Game of Thrones, then you'll know why we named him that. (I'll show pics!) We live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house, with a pretty big backyard, which the dogs love! (sucks to mow though). I was able to get a transfer to a Taco Bell out here, and I'm still working as a Shift Lead. In June, Mark's parents will also be moving out here. They have fallen in love with the area! I am excited for them to live close by!
It's all happening so fast, but it's worth it! More to come later (hopefully)!!!
Picture Time!!
