There have been and continue to be so many changes in my life and the lives of my family members. My wife while continuing to care for our baby son Alexander is now studying for her NCLEX for the second time. She is using an online preparation course we purchased from Kaplan. So far she has found it to be quite helpful. We also just got a puppy. The puppy is a nine week old German Shepherd and Siberian Husky mix that we have named Odin. I have spent the better part of a week over the extended Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend trying to crate/house train the Odin. So far it's working, but I am very tired. We also have some changes that will involve a redistricting of churches and new responsibilities on my part. All in all it makes for some pretty hectic times. Hopefully the dust will settle soon. I need to see where I am going. Oh and getting some sleep would be nice too.
