ice fishing extravaganza!

many miles were driven.

3+ hours were spent in sub-zer0 weather.

several cups of kamora coffee were consumed.

2 small baskets of cheese curds and a couple dozen wings were eaten.

3 fish were caught.

much fun was had.

Update!

Had my interview Tuesday. Went well but won't hear back for another 2 weeks or so. Scheduled my NCLEX date for the first week in February. If all goes well I would hopefully start orienting February 9th. Keep your fingers crossed!
