Ivan has arrived! Actually, this posting is a little delayed, since Ivan actually arrived in the States on Tuesday and in Indianapolis on Wednesday. It's good to have his smiling face, his errant sarcasm, and his ability to eat an inordinate amount of food back with us.
Mackenzie and I threw a surprise "Welcome Home" party for him today, which was a rousing success. Ivan had not a clue and we had quite the showing of family and friends. I'm sure that Talia will be putting up some pictures and I know that I'll be stealing them soon after.

It's a busy time in Indy for all of us. My finals are trying to conclude; it feels like I've been testing for weeks, but I think in real-time, it has only been since last week. My last final is Wednesday and I have a whopping five days off before Summer I starts and we begin again. I'm so happy in nursing school though and I've been amazed again and again with my classmates and how well we get along. I'm a lucky girl.
In other news, Indiana's primary election is May 6th (http://www.barackobama.com/). I have been working with the Obama campaign, which can be a little like slamming your head against a wall repeatedly, but when Obama sweeps Indiana (com'on Obama), I'll feel redeemed. Of course, it is frustrating when I hear comments like, "You're voting for Obama? But he's a Muslim!" or "I don't care what people say! I'm not interested in politics and I'm not going to vote." or "But, you know, if we elect him, he'll probably be assassinated." Wowza. The thing is, I feel like these individuals should be embarrassed to make blanket statements like this to me, but evidently not. Someday, it'll be cool to be informed again, but apparently 2008 is not quite the right time for that.
12% of 18-29 year-olds in Pennsylvania voted in the Democratic primaries. 12%. Come on, guys.
May 6th.
