The graduate and the hen

I think our hill climb is about to level out. Today is Bill's last big day of school, he has a 10 page paper due in Family Business and a final exam tonight in Finance and if all goes well he will graduate with honors with a Master's in Business Administration. The past 9 months have been crazy. I encouraged Bill to network so he joined the Sustainability Board of Directors and had regular evening meetings for that group and he also completed a master's recycling program which was more evening classes weekly. This past term he took a "sustainable business" course at UofO which is about 45 minutes from Corvallis so he made that drive twice a week too. I really haven't seen much of Bill since we got married.

But he did it! He squeezed a two year program in one year and managed to get through it with good humor and a lot of late nights. It is going to be great to get my husband back and I hope to hear more about everything he's learned, we haven't had much time to talk. Next will be a job search with the hope that he can find something near my beloved Corvallis. I love this place, he will have to drag me elsewhere kicking and screaming.

This weekend we will start planning our drive home from Pheonix in the new Jeep! Bill's parents are selling us their slightly used Jeep Grand Cherokee and we need to drive it back from Arizona. The Jeep will be a nice step up for us, it has a navigation system and a DVD player so I'll watch movies in the back while Bill drives. SWEET! We've been "poor" for so long the prospect of both of us working and having a fancy car makes my head spin. We are talking about seeing Yosemite and Lake Tahoe on our trip home. Yeah! I've never driven that far so we'll see if I like road trips.

Clomid update: I think the stuff is working. I feel like a hen in need of a roost, my ovaries are heavy and I'm bloated, I don't know how I swam yesterday. Best of all: I got my first ever positive ovulation test! Two lines! TWO LINES! I've taken over 40 tests and I've never gotten two lines!!!! I feel like crying just thinking about it, that's probably the drugs talking but who cares if I'm half hysterical. 2 lines! We might have a fighting chance at getting pregnant now. :) Thanks for reading this nonsense.
