Back to School, Back to School...

     Well for me anyway. Nick's all done!!! His very last final of college was on Wednesday and he could not be happier about finishing! He'll get his diploma in the mail sometime in the next little bit and he will have his bachelor's in biology! Well I guess he has it now but the piece of paper makes it that much more official. His plan right now is to try to find some part time job working nights and take care of our little one when she comes in 8 weeks. (yay!) I'll be taking 6 weeks for maternity leave and then going back to teaching kindergarten for the rest of the year. While working part time, Nick's going to be looking for a full time job in biomedical research or something like that. When he gets a full time job we'll be swapping roles and I'll be the one staying with our little one and he'll be working all day. Well, that's the plan; we'll see how reality works out.
     Like I said I'm heading back to school for our training week tomorrow. I'm excited to go back but I am going to say I kinda really loved not having too much responsibility this summer. It went by way too fast and we did a lot of fun things. However, hopefully with teaching it will help pass the time until our baby gets here. If anything it will help me to think about something besides the baby 24/7. This will probably be a good thing since the past few weeks have seemed to go by so slowly! I swear I've been 31 weeks pregnant for the past month instead of the past week. I am a little nervous to see how being on my feet all day will go but knowing me once the kids come I'll forget most of my aches and pains and focus on the kiddies. That's how it usually goes for me.
     As for other news Nick and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. It seems like it has been too short to be 3 years but at the same time it seems like we have been together forever. I look forward to many many more years to come. We couldn't celebrate too much because Nick had his final the next morning but we went to dinner that night and saved most of our celebrations until he finished with school. After his final we finally were able to spend some time together and it was nice to be able to spend afternoons reading together or just being with each other without any distractions.
     Well that's about it for the last little bit. Sorry there aren't any pictures, I'm really bad at taking pictures with our camera. I'll try to get some up here soon. Also, I'll try to get some pictures of our nursery when we finish. We have the crib and curtains up but other than that it's kinda a mess right now. Well I never really know how to end these things so this is me signing off. Bye!
