It’s hard to believe another summer has come and
gone already. My summer FLEW by…Tomorrow (yes, I said tomorrow!), I start my 2nd
semester of nursing school. The super good part of all this is—I’m one step
closer to being done (and I mean DONE!) with school…FOREVER!
I had a good summer, but I spent a lot of time
working. Nursing school is quite expensive, so I had my fair share of 13 and 15
hour days spent at the nursing home. (For the record, I did work 8 & 9 hour
days like a normal person, too…) My weekends off were spent with the people I
love, which often involved driving…to other states J
While my parents and sister were in Romania for 2
weeks, I was in Wisconsin with Thomas and Neva. It was so nice to be off work
during that time AND actually be at home. (It would have been nice if the rest
of my family was there…)
Late in July {while I was home}, I got a phone call informing
me that I was getting a scholarship for the fall—in the amount of $1,000!!!
This particular scholarship was through my employer, and I was so excited to
get this news…I had been praying and hoping and planning that it would work out
like this. Fall tuition is paid in full, and (thankfully!) I’m still debt-free…at
least for one more semester. So thankful God provided in this way!
During the time I was home, Taylor G., Thomas,
Kaydie, Neva and I spent the day in Duluth. We spent most of the day at Gooseberry
Falls, then headed to Canal Park for some mini-golf. Neva beat us all, and we
didn’t give her an advantage! By this time, we were getting pretty hungry, so
we headed to Grandma’s for supper. All in all, it was just a fun, relaxing day…I
love any time I can spend in the Duluth area and this was no exception!
I also went kayaking for the first time this summer,
and would like to go again! We only spent a couple of hours on the water, but
it was a good time…
“The Great
Biking Adventure”…that just might be its own post!
I wanted to spend one more weekend with Micah before
school started, and I was able to go to Indiana last weekend. We had a good
time, and it’s only 2 weeks until I see him again! J
It was nice to have my last little excursion before another crazy semester kicks in…and with
that, summer 2012 has come to a close!
