The End

The semester is over. Finally, I have been able to enjoy a little down time as well as some time with Patrick. The semester ended well for both of us, I got a 4.0 for the first time in my life and although we have both been sick for the last month, we are happy to have ended on a high note.
My birthday was fine. It was pretty much just another day, aside from taking off of work and going out for dessert with Patrick. 28 years old. 2 years from 30. Good grief.
We should find out this week if Patrick made it into the UNM Nursing School, but even if he doesn't, he will keep trying. If nothing else, he is persistent.
He leaves on Wednesday for Bingham's wedding in Albuquerque and will be back on Monday. Just in time for us to leave on that Saturday morning. We aren't really looking forward to the 24 hour drive, but will be glad to be heading home.
Patrick and I picked up our new couch and love seat this weekend. It looks amazing and was surprisingly, a lot heavier than either of us anticipated. While we are happy that it is made of good quality materials, we are a little concerned about moving it. We want to make sure that it fits in the trailer and that we will be able to get it home in one piece. We're a little more confident after getting it to Ann Arbor in one piece, but I think we'll be somewhat anxious until we put it in our living room.
I still haven't heard from TriCore or SED Labs regarding a job, which considering that I am trying to pay off as much of my credit card as possible before we buy a house; as well as pay for summer school tuition has me pretty anxious. Patrick has been very supportive and very confident that I will be okay, but I continue to worry, especially when it comes to finances. I'm sure everything will be fine, but until I have an actual job, I'm going to continue my anxiety tirade.
Joanie is having her second baby today. She has picked the name Raymond Salvatore Casalino, Sunny for short. I asked my mom if Joanie was firm on this name and she said that she was as much as she could be before seeing the baby. Apparently my mom had picked out a name for each of us and then when she saw us changed it. So who knows. I could call this evening and she'll have named him Robert.
