I'm lost in study land...

...which would explain the sheer lack of anything of substance on my blog lately. The good news is, I actually have something to show for it. I have now officially passed 2 of my 4 tests. I think it's really going to happen. Sometime in the near future, I will be able to put those illusive three letters after my name. Although that is not my primary reason for doing this, it will feel mighty good to be able to do it. It's kind of crazy how different it feels this time around. If you've known me for very long, you know I started this whole process a few year ago, when I was right out of school, working about 1,00o hours a week (I may exaggerate...just a little), with my main motivation for taking the test being the fact that I was supposed to for my job. It didn't go well. I passed a couple of the tests, failed a few times, and then let the ones that I did pass expire. So here I am. Like I said, this time around is different. I decided that I needed to prove to myself that I could do it, and I am definitely in the process of doing just that. And it feels good.

All that to say, sorry for the lack of substance here on the blog. I'm headed to Pine Cove this weekend with our high school students, and I'm sure I'll at least come back with some pictures to post, and maybe a couple of good stories. Hopefully none about putting a hole in the wall in our cabin...we did that last year! :)
