IT IS OFFICIAL... I am a LICENSED REGISTERED NURSE! I am so happy and relieved that there is not even any way to describe the feeling. So heres the update from the last few days of our lives here in Yuma.

Sunday afternoon I left for San Diego with my friend Tiffany who so nicely decided to make the trip with me. The way there was super easy, we had sunny weather and good driving. While I was in San Diego, I tried as hard as possible not to be too nervous. We went shopping and wandered around just to keep calm. Monday I got up and went and took my test, which I must say was harder than I could have ever imagined it would be. We didn't stick around in San Diego too long because Mon was yucky weather. When we headed back to Yuma there was a break in the rain and we hoped it would stay like that but we were WAY wrong. As we were heading into the mountains there was a blinking sign that said Winter storm ahead. Tiffany and I thought this HAD to have been some sort of wrong sign because we were in SOUTHERN CALI heading toward YUMA (the hottest city around). Once again we were wrong, the weather quickly went from bad to worse. We went through white out snow, sleet, rain, and on top of it all the sun was going down so it got dark fast! We were so glad to be back on the flat desert not worrying that we were going to fall off of a cliff. But luckily we made it home safely and the dogs were SO happy to have their mama home!

Monday Jason also left for Ft. Worth. He isn't back to Yuma yet but should be back late tonight. I am SO READY for him to come home! It is very lonely here with no hubby. Supposedly he had a really good time though. He got to see the ENTIRE (MILE LONG) Lockheed Martin plant, the new JSF, the engine, and the people working on it. They were hoping that they could see a test flight yesterday, but something didnt work out and they couldnt. Im sure that everything dealing with a test flight has to be 100% perfect, so who knows what it was. I think overall it was a great trip for Jason though. Plus he got to see some familiar faces at home and be in TEXAS which I am still jealous about. = )

So..... I am super excited. Jason is probably on an airplane to here now so I can post about this without ruining his suprise. For Valentines day/his Birthday.... yesterday I stole Jasons car and took it and got the windows tinted. He has been wanting to do this for a while, especially since it will start getting super hot here pretty darn quick. But he has NOOOOO idea, and I hope he will be SUPER happy. I also washed the car and filled it up with gas so it will look just spiffy! Ill let yall know what he thinks when he gets home tonight!

Well, thats all I know for today. I am so happy my hubby is coming home... its lonely around here.

Hugs!!
