Great week!

Tuesday was one of the best days. My wait for the bridging application ended, my nephew Jason was born and I made $50. I had been counting down till January 7th since June 2012. I can't believe it is over now. It took so long to get to, its kinda bittersweet. I have now started a countdown till letters are mailed. It's a guesstimate though, because letters get mailed the Friday before spring break. Spring break is March 9-14. So I can get the letter anytime during that period. I am using March 14 to base my letters JUST IN CASE it takes all of spring break for the silly mailmen to deliver. You know how they are. They KNOW you have an important letter coming, so they mess with you. At least, thats what I think my mailman does. I have the craziest mailman ever. He is off every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. I don't get ANY mail on either of those days. It's weird. But I have 64 days to wait till March 14! It seems so far away.
Jordan and I went up to the school and applied together. I don't think you could have imagined anyone else as nervous as we were. Both of us were shaking, double and triple checking our apps and genuinely freakin out. I was applicant 12, and Jordan was lucky number 13. Angela went later and got number 22. That scared me, because the bridge process accepts apps until February 10, and if 22 people had already applied one DAY ONE, that makes me nervous. They only accept 25 people as a bridger anyway. So it looks like we have a lot of competition. I'm more nervous now.

This is Jordan and I during the application process. I'm so glad she was there with me. I seriously could not have done it alone.

I had been so busy counting down till January 7th as the day I applied, I never realized I was also doing a countdown to the day my nephew would be born. He was born at 5:14pm on January 7. I will never forget this day as long as I live. When he gets older, I can tell him I was a nervous wreck all day trying to determine my fate as a nurse, until I held him. Every feeling of nervousness went away. He is perfect!! Big as hell, but perfect!!! My little brother is so freakin proud. He couldn't stop smiling. And Marti did so awesome. First, I give kudos to her cause she pushed him out without a c-section. Loki (hehehe) was 8lbs 15oz... one freakin ounce from being 9 lbs!!! And she pushed him out like a champ! I thought I had died pushing out 6lbs and 2 oz. ha! And Marti is so tiny. Man I am a super proud aunt. And, I am so glad Marti is now linked to me for life. I love that girl!

Anyway, without further a due....

I dunno the feelings I feel. I was seriously just as proud of him as I was my own kids. I even cried while looking at him. He is so snuggly and soft and loveable. I love him so much!!!!

To top the day off (as if that was possible) I also made $50!! I am on a cleaning spree around the house, came across a few of my old school text books from WAY back when.. posted em up on Amazon, and before I could even post them all, 3 of them sold. I ended up selling 4 of the 8 I posted, and made 50 dollas!!! Win win!!!

Ok, well I am gonna get back to cleaning. I guess spring-cleaning fever has hit me early. I am trying to get cute ideas from pinterest now. Until next time!!
