The rest of the week...

I was wrong about this week. When I posted earlier that I was so looking forward to spending time with my husband on his days off, I had forgotten that he had the Iowa Student Nursing Association conference yesterday and today. He was part of a group in one of his classes last semester that created a resolution which proposed that all coaches in the state of Iowa should be required to be certified in CPR. Well, he was called upon several weeks ago to see if he could get his group back together because their resolution had been selected to be presented to the Iowa Student Nursing Board in hopes of it passing and actually going all of the way through the motions and presented to the Iowa State Legislature to become a law in Iowa. It was pretty exciting for him as he was the 'main spokesperson' for his group and if passed, this all could be a very good thing to help him in the future for jobs and getting into anesthesia school. Well today the resolution passed with NO opposition! There are several more steps it will need to go through to become a state law, but it is on its way. Sean was thrilled. He was nervous because he had to help present it today in front of hundreds of people, but it all went well. I am so proud of him.

So anyway, we didn't see him much this week. Today he got home at 3:45 and had to be at work by 5:00. He's only working for 2 hours, so we'll see him tonight and then once he's done with class tomorrow at 11:00, he has NOTHING to do for work or school tomorrow! We actually have plans as a family! When Tate gets up from his nap, we are going to go to a pumpkin patch and get our pumpkins. Then we are heading up to Nevada to spend some time with the Knutsons. We miss them and now that we aren't in Colo anymore (only 6 miles from them!), we don't see them as much as we'd like. In addition to that, both of our husbands are working full time and also furthering their education. Life is just so busy.

After tomorrow, we'll be back into the work week for Sean. Next week looks less busy for him so it will be nice to get some family time in on his days off. Maybe we'll actually get our pumpkins carved BEFORE Halloween! Ha. Hopefully we'll do that on Friday or Saturday night. We'll see. Sometime next week we will be putting Tate in his turtle costume and taking him "trick or treating" to friends and families' houses...I am such a bad mom, I am not even sure when Beggars Night is! I am sure I will have plenty of pictures of our little turtle! :)
