Cutting Back

I am trying to cut back on my expenses so I can cut back on work and make it through the rest of school. I'm looking for a new car that will cost less for me to own and operate. Specifically, I'm looking for a Subaru Outback or a Hyundai Santa Fe under $9,000. As it turns out, everyone in the area is looking for the same thing. Every time I call on one, the sales person tells me that it just sold. Blerg!! Let's hope I find something soon!

Graduate school is not for sissies!

As most of you know, I'm in graduate school right now studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. This semester is by far the hardest I've had yet. It feels like I'm trying to stuff way more knowledge into my brain than will actually fit. My closest classmate is in Meridian, Idaho (which happens to be where Christian's parents live!) and I feel like I'm basically all on my own. There is so much studying, reading, and memorization. Ugh. If I get through all of this, it will be a miracle!!
