Still a living and learning...

It's been forever since I blogged. My life is just so much less stressful when I'm writing. What's been happening in my life? Well, let's see....ALOT.



I finished my first year of college. It was very interesting, challenging, and alot of fun. My GPA is a 4.0 to this point. I enjoyed my hand at tutoring in Math (not my favorite subject). The ladies were awesome "students" though, and I had a blast doing it! By the finals I had my own little classroom to do my "teaching" in. It was awesome! I ended this semester with a 5k walk. It was incredible. So, my first year was a success, I believe. I'm taking the summer off to entertain Hannah and take a trip with David to Switzerland.



Yeah, you read right. I'm heading to Switzerland with David in July. I can hardly believe it. I'm a nervous wreck because I will be leaving Hannah and going across the world for an entire week. I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her while I'm away. I tried to find every excuse not to go, but it didn't work out. Every obstacle I put in place was overcome one way or the other. So, here I sit resigned to the fact that I am going to Switzerland. A dream trip for most people. Even for me. There is just so much uncertainty in my life, that I'm not sure I'll enjoy it. I will try.

Hannah will finish her first full year of school. She was diagnosed with autism and she's learning more and more everyday. Kyle will be finishing his sophmore year and next year will be in the AVID program which means he'll be at the college for most of his courses. He'll get both college and high school credit for them. It will be very possible for him to graduate high school with an associates degree. Oh, and of course he'll be driving soon too. Zach just got back from a trip to DC, NYC, etc. He will graduate from 8th grade this year. So, next year he'll begin his high school adventures. So hard to believe. The kids are all doing really well, and I'm proud of them all. Oh, they're mouthy teenagers, but so was I so you reap what you sow right?

David is still the IT manager at Harwood. He just bought a brand new car. It's a baby blue Kia Spectra. At least I think it's a spectra.

We're looking at houses to buy. Maybe even relocating closer to the Dallas area. Of course the guys aren't liking that idea too much, but gas is killing us financially. I've spoke with the Red Oak school district and they have a pretty impressive special needs program. Hillsboro has been great, but it's a poor district with little money to do anything for it's special needs program. Anyway, it's something we're looking into. We'll have to have a bigger house when we get the dog because Hannah will need a full size bed so the dog can sleep with her, and we'll have to have a fenced in yard too.

So, that's a little of what's going on. I'm still a living and a learning....
