It's over with. I can't say how I did because I am my toughest critic. The questions were so random that I felt like I didn't get my train of thought on board as well as I could have. They said that the process will be over in a week. I think they should all write a name on slip of paper, fold it and pick from a hat. It would be less nerve wracking than this was. So if I have to wait a week at least I will be doing it here.
I am home waiting for Jeff to arrive. We are going to the bookstore to pick out some reading material. Then we will have a mellow dinner at home, probably watch some Tivo, I have to pack and then head to bed early. We need to leave here around 7am to have plenty of time before our flight. By 6pm tomorrow night I will be in paradise, sipping a cool beverage and not thinking about work at all. I had to hold back tears when I said goodbye to Keegan this morning. As much as I am looking forward to this, I will miss him dearly.
A friend made me promise to have a drink on the beach and take a few moments to tell myself how proud I should be of what I have accomplished. I will keep that promise.

I'm super jealous of your vacation. Have about 23 drinks for me!
oh...oh...how I wish we got away this week. Seeing that blue water made me drool. Have a wonderful week, don't think about anything except what SPF to wear!
You're already there at the time I'm typing this. I'm imagining you drink in one hand, your other hand linked with Jeff's, as you sit on the beach together and stare out at the waves.
hope you have fun!!!
Have a wonderful trip!! By the way, I'm *loving* the new digs around here.
I'm nervous, Alisa, I'm so nervous!!! Hurry and get back!
