Something that matters..

I have not updated our blog in a long time... with good photos and good news! All is well in the Jonckowski-Hopkins house. Brian is doing well in his new Chase branch. It has been an adjustment with the WaMu buy out from last fall. Currently, Brian's branch is running as two seperate banks until the merge is complete in Oct. So one half is WaMu and the other half of the is Chase- Crazy huh?! At any rate, Brian is an amazing branch manager and is doing so well. He amazes me everyday and I am so proud of him. As for me... My life is consumed with grad school. I am finishing up on my last 9 weeks of school. Thank God! The program is really intense right now- I am in my Capstone (which is a 695 course) and another class. I spend about 30 to 35 hours a week finishing homework and school- I am still working 40 hours as well at Home State. I just submitted my first 100+ page paper. It is a beast- but I bet all of you are dying to read it! Ugh... To say the least, I am stoked and really looking forward to graduation on May 2ND! It is has been an amazing journey, but I am ready to be done! ;O) I hope all who read are well! I love you guys dearly!

CONGRATS to Jami and Dan for signing a contract on their brand new home! So your planning a wedding and buying house- You're crazy!!!!

And a big CONGRATS to Kim and Clif for the birth of their first baby this weekend... Brady Patrick! (PS- I LOVE that name...)

This is a photo of the old oak tree behind my folks house. They get regular visitors... Eagles. There are 3 in the tree... Can you see them? 2 Golden and 1 bald. They are amazing birds... and HUGE.

Stopping for beers at T Rex to celebrate the exciting news with nothing less then a 24oz of Coors light!
