Fat Fest 2012

Last weekend we drove to Champaign for the annual Fat Fest tradition.  As I've detailed in past years, Fat Fest involves eating at 10 restaurants in one afternoon with all of Joshua's friends.  Sounds like a great idea, right?  It really is a fun time.  This year there were about 20 of us who completed the challenge.

Besides enjoying time with friends over the weekend, things have been rolling right along.  My last day at school was Thursday.  It was a great feeling to get everything wrapped up, and having met my replacement, I'm confident that my students will be in good hands in the fall.  This summer, I'm planning to work a few Fridays at Rosewood as long as we're in Peoria.  I really do like going there, and the therapy manager is always glad to have the help.  

Other cross-your-fingers good news is that our house may be sold again.  We have agreed on everything but need to wait until the couple's current house undergoes inspection.  They have a buyer lined up but won't be able to buy our house if their sale doesn't go through.  Their inspection is tomorrow, so after that, we should know more about if their sale is likely to go through.  Then there's another inspection of our home...  Lot's of hurdles to get over, so I'm trying not to get too excited.  I hate to be disappointed later.  Think good thoughts for us!

Three Cs Coming My Way

For the past seven years I've been working toward earning my certificate of clinical competency, or my Cs. On Friday, I finally completed my clinical fellowship year, and I was ready to mail off all the paperwork. Very soon I will have my permanent licenses in hand. Woohoo!Other fun news from the weekend...

Joshua and I went to Champaign to meet friends for Fat Fest, an afternoon filled with stops at 10 restaurants along Green Street on campus. The tradition was started in undergrad out of a desire to do something other than a bar crawl. Why not a food crawl? This was my second year attending, and much fun was had by all. I'll try to get a few pictures; I wasn't in the mood to haul around the giant camera all afternoon. I really need to get a purse camera. I think that's going to be added to the Best Buy points list.

And with that, my summer vacation has begun. What a lucky gal I am. I begin my PRN job at the nursing home on Friday; other than that, nothing but summer fun to look forward to for the next ten weeks.
