So, after graduating from Huntingdon I worked in the restaurant biz for a while and planned to go to graduate school to get my Masters in Music. After about a year long lapse after graduating, I decided that I would rather take my life in a different direction and go to Nursing School. I don't quite remember the moment I decided that, or why, I just did. So, I went to AUM for about a year getting the necessary pre-requisites out of the way, and I applied for nursing school at AUM. At the same time I heard about a special program at the University of South Alabama in Mobile in which I could get my nursing degree in a year due to having a previous bachelor's degree. If I went to AUM for school, I would not have been done for 2 or 3 years. So, I got into USA, and Michael had planned to come down with me to live in Mobile. However, at the same time he got a mega promotion at work. After much discussion, we decided that the program was too great of an opportunity to pass up, so I went by myself while Michael stayed in Montgomery so that we could pay the bills. The year flew by, and we got used to seeing each other only on the weekends. All in all, it wasn't so bad. I graduated in July, and got a job almost immediately in Montgomery. It seems that Montgomery is one of the only places in the state that is still hiring new nurses. A lot of people I graduated with are having trouble finding jobs. I've been working for a few weeks at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, and I like it so far. I will be starting to work the night shift in a couple of weeks, but I don't think it will be so bad. It's great to be getting a paycheck again!
Also, my step-mom had a baby boy in December, so that's pretty big news too. He's so cute and probably the happiest baby that I've ever known! That's about it for me now.
