Temple

Kale and I took our endownments out on Thursday. My escort was my Mom and Kale's was our temple class teacher, Brother Garlick. Being there was wonderful, the temple was beautiful, and I felt very peaceful. We were there for just over 3 hours but it didn't seem long at all. I had the sweetest temple worker that was assigned to help me. I loved her, she was such a sweet little lady. I can't wait to be sealed Tuesday. I am so grateful for the temple and the blessings and peacefulness it brings.

I've just been hanging out, organizing Sophie's drawers, cleaning, watching TV. A lady at work said that her sister was going through some baby clothes, so I was able to go over there today and I got two boxes full of baby clothes and a sack full of bottles for $35 bucks. The lady happened to have twins so I seperated the double outfits and have them listed in the classifieds to hopefully make back some of the money I paid. The clothes are all very very cute and well taken care of! Now we are all set for 0-6 months. I'll keep an eye out for 6-12, and 12+ but we won't need those right away. It rained a lot here, which is great for our grass. It looks like it's doing well, I love having our yard!

Sophie is doing good. I feel her kick several times a day usually. We're excited for our appointment next week. I'm just over 25 weeks today, which almost puts me in the third trimester. The closer it gets, the more excited I get. It will be nice to have a baby in my arms instead of in my belly!

I took my RN boards Tuesday. I had not prepared at all, and pretty much since school has been out I tried to ignore the fact I had to take that test. I had to be there at 8am. I was trying not to be nervous about it. The minimum number of questions is 75 and the maximum is 265. A certain number of people get all 265 despite how well they are doing. I was hoping that wasn't me! You have 5 hours to do the test. Basically how it works is it starts you out at a certain level of difficulty, and if you answer those correct it slowly raises in difficulty until you get a certain percent right and then the test stops. If you get them wrong, the questions get easier, and you have to do more and more. Most of my friends had gotten near the minimum so when question 75 came and went my heart dropped... luckily after question 79 the test shut off and I was done! I felt surprisingly better after the test than I did with my LPN test. I found out the next night I had passed, thank heavens.
