our class rank is out and i am majorly celebrating!!


i am number 2.....YAHOO!!

i know who is number 1 and he is one of those obscenely smart guys who just gets it without having to work hard for it. so i will settle for 2 behind him while i work my butt off with 3 kiddos .

YIPPEE!!!


happy dance time!!!!

i was in no way shape or forum going to be ready july 2nd...so i rescheduled for aug 14th...let the new countdown begin!!

i finished my last final today for the quarter....one year down!!
so much has happened this past year, i feel like a completely different person then i did at the start.
yet somehow i have made it through. i have succeeded where others thought i would fail. i have made it, i was not one of the three classmates we lost along the way...i am still fighting for my dream...i am still hanging in there.

or as dory would say "just keep swimming"

1. numerous ambulances/major trauma soon to be headed our way
2. everybody and their brother decides it time to go to the er and get that scratchy throat/nagging...
