School

I am getting pretty sick of school. This past week I took two tests and this upcoming week I have to take three. I am so pre-occupied with tests and work that I forget when I get paid and don't have time for fun :( Oh well we all go through that stage of never really seeing or going out of the apartment with our husbands. Bring it on May I am ready to graduate!

As for Dan, he is busy studying to get his A&P license as well as still working as the Freight Supervisor at Shopko..

Oh yeah one more thing that recently happened to me.. I had multiple scars on both corneas and could not open my eyes until a few days after the medication. It has been an interesting semester.

Summer is Gone and School is Here

Sadly summer has past and school is back in season. Summer was fun with my trip to New Orleans to see Katie and Hunter, the trip to Florida with the "Willis" clan, and no homework!

I am back in school with a full course and working at the Credit Union. Dan is full-time at Shopko and is studying to get his A &P Mechanic license. He is also very helpful with doing the cleaning, cooking, and chores while I do homework. He is the best and I am so grateful he is in my life.

Life Insurance

Dan and I met with a financial advisor at my work, Mountain America, and we decided to sign up for life insurance. In order to get approved, the company needs a urine and blood sample. I hate needles so bad every since I was a little girl. I have the smallest vains in the world and most nurses have to pock around to find my veins.

The nurse came to our home yesterday and I had to hug a pillow as tight as I could to block out the pain. I guess I am a wimp, but luckily I did not faint like my dad did when he had to get his blood taken years ago.

I made it! Dan was good the whole time. He wasn't even nervous. Jealous. My hands were shaking the whole time.

Summer

Summer is a great time to do fun things! Sadly Dan and I typically work opposite sifts almost every day of every week :( Sad, but it is what we have to do right now. Luckily we both had a Saturday night off, so we took adevantage of that and went to 2nd dam and roasted hot dogs and had smores! It was so good and Dan was the handy man lighting the fire.

Graduation!

May 2nd rolled around and Dan became a college grad! He graduated with his bachelor's in Aviation Maintenance Technology. I am so proud of him! He has had a long road of five years with all of those tests and papers. He is done with school for good (Unless of course he goes back to get a Master's degree). We had a great day together with his family. Here are some pictures but his mom has the one of ous performing the famous kissing on the A, to be a true Aggie! :)

Bollard Family Reunion!

We went to my Granny's surprise 80th birthday. My sister Katie, her husband Kevin, and their son Hunter were also there from Michigan! Most of the Bollard family gathered together from across the states to celebrate this special day. We decided that the "Willis" family should get pictures together. We all were matching and it was great fun!


Easter!

This was our first Easter together and I decided to keep some of those traditions alive. We got those Resees Easter eggs and the color dyes. We had a great time being like kids and decorating Easter eggs. Next year we will have to have a scavenger hunt.
