Nursing School!

Hello!

Just wanted to let you know that I have been accepted into an RN program at College of San Mateo. I start in August and will be VERY busy!

New Blog!

Hey everyone! I know I dropped off the face of the planet for awhile, and it might be a while yet before I make any new posts. BUT, you have to check out this new blog! My sister created it for a school project and it is quite interesting. It's about marriage: the good, the bad, and the ugly (and beautiful). ;) Its purpose is to have discussions and express "thoughts on how marriage got such a bad rap and what can be done to save it."

What Happened to Happily Ever After?

Check it out!

San Jose Sharks

On Saturday 4/25, Nate and I were celebrating. We attended Game 5 of the series and the Sharks were back! Not so. They lost the series today against the Anaheim Ducks. We are mourning.

On the bright side, Nate can finally shave his poke-y play off beard!

Maui, What a Wonderful Place

So, this past week, the Hagners went to Maui! We had the time of our lives. We had an activity packed week. Here are a few highlights:

Haleakala National Park

That's a crater from the volcano!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached an altitude of 10,000 feet. You may now use your electronic devices.

Big Beach

Our Dive at First Cathedral in Lana'i

We saw Spinner Dolphins!

The road to Hana

Waikamoi Falls

Wai‘anapanapa Wayside Park

Two of our favorite stops on this amazing tour were the black sand beach...

and the Bamboo Forest on Pipiwai Trail!

We didn't want to leave. There is so much to see and do on this small island!

Nate the Grate!

So, I realize that this is about The Hagners and not just Elsa, so today I am posting a blog about Nate. For those of you who don't know, Nate works for Knorr Systems, Inc. as a service technician. He services, maintains and installs commercial pool equipment.

Well to make a long story short, a new skill was added to his repertoire...SCUBA diving!

Nate hard at work

Knorr paid to get their service techs PADI Certified so that they could dive to the bottoms of pools and replace/repair grates to comply with The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.

...Nate replacing the old grate.

The cool thing is, even though he is working in pools, he is Open Water Certified and can go diving in the ocean!

We are going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks and we've already booked a SCUBA trip in Maui (I'm certified, too). Can't wait!

Changes

Hey, everyone. So, I am not as upset as I thought I'd be, but I was not accepted into Samuel Merritt's ELMSN program. Unfortunately, I didn't really have a back-up plan, so now I am wasting even more time before I go back to school. So, now, I'm at a crossroads...Do I try again?(with more than one school) Or, do I change my plan? I have a lot of thinking to do! Input is greatly appreciated! Love you!

P.S. I have more projects to post pics of! They will be coming soon-ish!
