Well, I officially graduated from school and had a great time with my family that came to visit. I've started to study for my certification exam and that's the next big hurdle before I'm officially through. Oliver's work had Blizzcon and we had a good time hanging out there and listening to game developers and fans. We're off to a relaxing vacation in the mountains.. We'll take more pictures now that we've got a charger for the camera. Here's a final picture of Oliver signing posters for Diablo fans.

in case you didn't notice -- it's august! which means 2 things: i'm graduating from school (forever, officially) and oliver had a birthday. i had the graduation ceremony in may (yeah, that's the last post), but i've still been going to class and having clinical hours at the hospital. i only have 4 clinical days left and class is over!

so.. now i just need to survive those 4 days, pass my licensing exam and find a job -- i had an interview today! so.. we'll see how it all works out. i'm figuring i'll be commuting to whatever facility hires me, so we replaced the civic with something real comfy.

oliver had a birthday! he got off work and we went to a music store.. spent a good long time looking at guitar amps, he got a fender deluxe as pictured.. now he rocks out and does art. again. which is pretty cool.. then we went to a restaurant and he got a birthday dessert! but.. actually.. it was like my birthday dessert because oliver is a strict dieter right now and he's losing weight! from his heaviest in the last four years to now -- he's lost over 20 pounds! yeah, he sure is cute (and always was, but now gets to show off)

anyway, that's the news. oh yeah, and i've been playing a lot of world of war craft thanks to oliver and his lifetime free membership. i am now a level 60 night elf druid. i'm not ashamed. thanks to blizzard for paying the bills!
