Two weeks to step 3

Took the children today to get their rabies shot done, they didn't need them per say they weren't due until July but due to us possibly leaving around that time I needed to get them done before then.  So I loaded up my four children into the car and off to the vet we went.  Thank goodness that J was there to help. Apollo thought that he was on a grand adventure, George just wanted to be petted, Dian was unsure of the world, and Nick, well Nick was royally pissed off ( he still kinda is). I did warm the vet student that drew the short straw and got Nick, but he still jumped when Nick tried to take his arm off. Well the exams went well except that G needs some dental work done. (Boo) everyone got their shots and is back home. And in two weeks we go back in to see the vet again to get blood drawn for their RNAT test.  The vet did tell me that Nick is most likely going to have to be given some knock out drugs so that he isn't the grumpy cat we all know and love. 

This is going to be a long process.   

When scaries abound

So this morning I was sleeping in, quite peacefully when all of a sudden a loud screaming started.  I don't think many people like being awoken by their fire alarms going off.  I quickly checked all the rooms in the house, no smoke. Thank goodness.  Now to make the things stop screaming at me.  A change from the house that I grew up in is that with the house that C and I currently live in, the alarms are wired together (so every single one was going off) and it is wired to the alarm system that calls the police and fire department.  So here I am trying to figure out how to get the alarms off while worried that I was going to get a visit from the fire department.  The hero in this story is my husband.  I call him near bawling, ( I have had a massive migraine the past three days, the alarms did not help) asking how I get them to turn off.  He says climb up and unattach one.  I did and it was still screaming in my hand.  It is no longer attached to the system but all of the alarms are still screaming.  So the battery comes out.  And blissful silence in my house.  I am proud of one fact....not a single dog in my house started howling with the alarms and A (my husbands Flat coated retriever) did not start freaking out.

So moral of this story.  Know how to turn off your fire alarms so that you don't have to call your significant other during class.

What do you do

So I titled this blog grouping what does a college student do after college.  I have recently reached this stage in my life.  I just graduated with my degree in Architecture....
     Everyone was asking the weeks leading up to graduation.."What are you going to do after graduation?"  My response was always, "Find a job. My husband still has a year left of school." or "Well I am flying to Australia for three weeks, then I am going to find a job."   But you get the point it was, FIND A JOB.  Never could I have imagined the change that my life was about to take.  I never thought that while I was in Australia with my parents, in-laws, and husband, that my husband would get in his brain that he wanted to finish his degree at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
     Wow take that in.  Moving and living in Australia, for at least a year mind you, C still has a year of schooling needed to get his degree (2nd one).  Well what was my first thought but, we have animals, a house full of furniture, I am trying to find a job.  Well we can't leave our Furbabies, they are just that, our babies.  So I have started the process of transporting them to Australia to live with us. 

Stay tuned for
