I PASSED!!

I got my boards scores in the mail today and I passed!!

Ron and I went to dinner and a movie to celebrate, it was a wonderful evening. 

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words, even though you had confidence that I passed, it's still nice for peace of mind to officially get the word. =)

I know, I know...

It's been forever since I posted, there's a lot that's been going on here in KC!

Ron and I spent a wonderful Christmas in Chicago with family and friends. It was nice to be home for the first time in a YEAR! I didn't take many pictures, but here's a few...

Ron teasing the dogs

 

The pups on Christmas Morning!

 

And as usual, Dutchie opening his can of dog food

We had a great time with family on Chrstmas Day, we even got Grandma to try Guitar Hero!

Unfortunately a week went by really fast, and it was time for us to come back to KC. 

Even more unfortunate for us, these were the conditions we had to drive in...

Which were fine, just wet and foggy. But about 3 hours into the drive, they turned from wet and foggy, to icy.  

After almost sliding off the road several times, we made it safely to a hotel in the area (Thanks Mom & Dad for the GPS we got for Christmas, it was worth every penny when we were stuck on the highway and needed to book a hotel ASAP). 

Ryno and Sam Adjusted quite well to the hotel room...

We got back on the road the next day and made it home safe and sound just in time for me to start a month long preceptorship at Blue Springs Animal Hospital.  

I've been working there for almost a month now, and it's a fantastic hospital with great people. I was working there for a couple of reason, but mostly because they had an opening for an associate veterinarian and I was hoping to get the spot. However, last week they informed me that they are going to hire one of my classmates instead. So it's back to the drawing board for me. I have a few interviews this week, but I really have no idea where I want to work at this point. I'll keep everyone updated though!

Ron has been training for his second marathon which he runs on Valentine's Day in Myrtle Beach.  Luckily it's been a fairly mild January for us here, so he's been able to run outside for training.  We're planning on driving out there with our friends Bryan and Sue (Bryan is running the marathon with Ron). 

Things have been going very well for Ron at work. He has been promoted, and his team has been nominated for a company-wide award, so lots of good things going on there.  He also started classes again this winter to continue pursuing his MBA.

As soon as I figure out what I'm doing job-wise, we will start looking for houses, so we'll keep everyone updated on that. Hopefully you are all doing well!!
