Happy Holidays!

Dec27

I cannot believe it is almost 2022! And that I’ve only done like 3 posts this year. Lame. Since I’ve missed Christmas already, Merry Belated Christmas! And Happy New Year!

This fall/winter has been a whirlwind (again) with Little Miss Minion starting 1st grade and me being at school in-person for the first time since I started the program.

Little Miss Minion Updates:

  • She did swimming over the summer and soccer in the fall. I think she liked soccer until she realized how much running is involved, which is exactly what I did when I played soccer for like 6 weeks in high school.
  • She is starting ballet in January and is very excited to be taking “ballerina classes.” Santa brought her ballet clothes and slippers so that should be fun. We found a tutorial on Youtube that taught her three ballet positions and we did that as a family, which was pretty entertaining.
  • She has no loose teeth and the dentist says they are “stuck in there pretty good” so I don’t see any Tooth Fairy visits in the near future.
  • She got a new booster seat for my car since she is finally too tall for the one she’s been using since she got out of the pumpkin seat. She’s very excited.
  • She’s finally getting the hang of reading!

Mrs. Minion Updates:

  • Finished the fall semester with another 4.0!
  • Learned a TON this semester and had great clinicals experiences on a cardiac floor and OB floor.
  • Will be starting to apply for actual nursing jobs soon!
  • Is on schedule to graduate this May! NCLEX, here I come!

Mr. Minion Updates:

  • Has planned and is building a patio cover for the house. I continue to be impressed by his skills in fixing stuff and building stuff around the house.
  • Got our roof replaced, which included far more research than I thought it would. We had a TON of hail damage from recent storms so we wanted to make sure we got something good.
  • Builds little crafty projects from the hardware store with Little Miss Minion. She is getting pretty good with a hammer and putting things together.

Hoping everyone reading this has a great rest of the year and a wonderful 2022!
