Hey! First off, we just got home from camping. Which was...umm, busy. It's the first we've taken the boys camping this year and it was interesting. They both have colds, so that didn't help. But we also hauled along two 4-wheelers, which took up massive amounts of space so I didnt have room to put in their big metal dump trucks. I was really hoping we would have room for them because it would have kept them occupied for hours I'm sure. All in all it was a fun trip. A few fits were thrown here and there but nothing to major. We swam and went 4-wheeling and played some games which was fun. The river was mighty cold but no one seemed to notice, except me! I also got a few mesquito bites (so much for bug spray!), the worst one is on my neck. Ugh...it sucks! But I'm glad the boys didn't end up with any. They are to good at dealing with being miserable!
New topic. We have a plan. Mom and I are heading back to school this spring. Well I'm heading back and mom is starting for the first time. We are going to become RN's. Our plan is to get student loans for the entire thing, then after we graduate we are going to move to Alaska for a couple of years. Why?? Well, Alaska is hurting for nurses pretty badly because they are willing to pay off all of your student debt and pay you almost double what you can make here. John's mom has a friend that did the same thing and after her 2 or 3 year contract was up she came home, debt free with $200,000 in the bank. I think I can handle the cold for that! We also found a small town that we like. It's called Skagway. They only have a population of 800 year round and about 2,000 in the summer months. But what I like so much about this town, is a few things actually. One, it is accessible by road from the lower 48. It's right on the water. It only gets an average of 3 feet of snow in town. Their water doesn't have to be filtered at all, it comes from an underground lake full of glacier water! Delicious! And the school there has a 7 to 1 student/teacher ratio, there graduating class has an average of 5-7 students a year. This year they have 9, which a big class! I personally like a bigger school, but what's cool is that each of the graduating students graduate with honors (due to the teacher/student ratio), and the best part is that the business' in town all donate money to the graduating students and they get so much money that all of them can afford to go to any college in the country. Free to them. That would be awesome. What a great opportunity. Not that I would live there for that long, but still.

Sounds like a plan!
