1 more to go and more about us!

It's been a happy time at the Cohoon house, the Texas Rangers need to win one more game to go to the World Series. It will be the first time in Rangers history to go to the World Series and we have tickets to game 3! Cooper has been wearing his Rangers shirts this week to send good mojo!
Cooper did not wake up at all last night...YAY! He did wake up on Monday to play, but we let him cry it out and it took less than 5 minutes and he was back to sleep. Starting next week Cooper will transition to his new class at school...I have mixed emotions about this. I am excited, yet sad that he is going to leave all of this teachers in his current class. I think the transition will be uneventful for him, he gets to move up with his buddy James. The teachers say they are the best of buddies at school and I think that is super cute. His first friend. I wonder if they will grow up together??? Wouldn't it be awesome if they did? In about a month Johnny will be finished with school and prepping for his state board test; I know he is ready to be finished with this degree and so am I. Almost 2 years ago we made the decision for Johnny to go back to school, he decided he wanted to be a nurse. While in one of his Science classes a professor noticed how much he liked cells, tissue and all of that fun stuff and suggested he look at the Histotechnology program at Tarleton State University. He did. He applied. He got accepted. His class is the first class that had more applicants than available spots. He is one of the lucky few that found the exact right field of study, he loves it. Last semester he did his clinical at UT Southwestern in Dallas and was offered a part-time position in one of their labs. As some of you know after Cooper was born we made the decision for Johnny to quit his job and be a part-time stay at home daddy. It worked out really well, he got to spend most of the early days with Cooper and we were not stressed about childcare.. Cooper is now is full-time daycare and he is doing really well. Anyway, he took the job at UT Southwestern and he loves it. It's funny because Johnny is a Ft Worth boy through and through and I have considered Ft Worth my home for many years and we both end up working Dallas. We have been asked several times if we are going to move closer to Dallas and the answer is NO! It has been a struggle working out the logistics of getting Cooper to school and getting him picked up, but so far it has worked. There are many reasons why we won't leave the Haslet area...we just found our church home and we are making great friends and connections, we are very happy with Cooper's school, we are close to family, once Cooper starts school we want him to stay in the same district, the market is not good for selling our home right now and when we do move it is going to be very hard, I am so emotionally attached to our home. It's where we started our family and where we brought Cooper home. So, while it's a VERY long drive/train ride for us to and from work it's worth it when we get to the place we call home each evening. It's been a long time since I have had a place that I called home. When Johnny and I moved into this house his mom said "Johnny has had lots of houses, but this will be the place he calls home." What a compliment. Haslet is Home Sweet Home for us.
