Chicago!

First off, let me say that when it comes to taking photographs, I’m terrible.  I either forget to take them, or when I do take them I grow impatient.  I’m excited to sign up for some photography classes once we move to New Zealand.  Hopefully, I’ll learn how to do a much better job than [...]

From Indiana to Chicago

Yeah, that’s right. Tomorrow mid-morning Chris and I are headed to Chicago. Can you tell that I’m just soooo enthused about this? I have to go to Chicago to take an English test. Don’t even get me started on it. In New Zealand, foreign RNs are required to pass an English test as of this [...]
