A New Adventure

We have been waiting a long time to finally get to post this....Braden has been working so hard for the past year to complete his BA in Business Administration while also taking pre-req's for nursing school. He applied at the end of May for the Post-Baccalaureate BSN program at Concordia University, Irvine (where we both attend). After applying he then went through the process of interviewing with the head honcho's of the nursing department. Now, 6 weeks later, our prayers (along with nerves and anxiety) have been met and Braden has BEEN ACCEPTED! We are so thrilled and grateful for this opportunity that the Lord has chosen to place in front of us. 

The program is a grueling 12 month, accelerated program, for students who have already completed their undergraduate along with the pre-req's for nursing. Braden will be giving his final presentation this month for his BA and will be done with his undergraduate. The nursing program begins January 19th and is very intense. The traditional nursing programs are 2 years (after  pre-req's have been completed) but he will be going to school 6 days a week, 7:30am to 4:30pm, with clinical on the weekends. It will be a tough year, however it will also be so humbling and rewarding. We are looking forward to this new adventure, although we know it will be extremely difficult. Please pray for our time together and also for Braden to remain sane :). 

On August 12th we will be driving up to Oregon with two friends from down here and we will get to show them around the Portland area. We are so excited to see friends and family while we are there, we miss you all!! Pray for safe travels.

That's it for now, we wanted to let you all know what is going on with us and thank you for your support and prayers!
