It is officially Andrew's first year of experiencing mortality according to our reckoning. What a quick trip it has been for his parents thus far. I remember the day he was born, and all the effort that went into his delivery. The first look he had was as if he was saying, "What in the world are you doing? I was warm and cozy in there! Now it's cold and I'm getting prodded and so cold!" Then there was when I talked to him for the first time when he was out of the womb. He immediately stopped crying and looked right at me. It seems that he recognized who I was and was very awesome to me.
There have also been many, many, many diaper changes. Many giggles of laughter, more recent than not. He especially giggles and laughs when I chase him across the apartment and pretend to eat his belly and blow raspberries on his neck.
What an amazing journey it has been thus far, I am constantly astounded at how far he has come in only one year. Already he is independent in many things but fortunately for his mother he is still somewhat dependent and always wants to know that we are nearby should he need us. I love his hugs and hope that he will always remember how much his parents love him!
We love you Andrew!!! Happy First Birthday!!!
P.S. Pictures will follow later as we are having a family party on Saturday, so stay tuned!

Miracles Do Happen!
Well, this draws to a close, another joyful and easy going semester of 16 credit hours. I am so sorrowful that it is over, the hours studying for classes is now defunct. What tears of sadness now flood my bloodshot eyes as I ponder the hours I will spend doing other things than studying and doing schoolwork during the summer. Oh, woe is me. What am I to do now that I am undone!?
Meh, who am I kidding?!!?!?!?!? MWAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! It's OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER!!!!! All I am waiting for now is a grade from my Conservation Biology class.
Drum roll please!
Course Title Final Grade
Intro to Photography A
Computer Essentials P
Bowling I A
Religious Diversity-US B+
Trigonometry A
Elementary Physics A-
GPA
Current Term: 3.79
Cumulative: 3.69
Overall: 3.69
Overall credits earned: 43
I have no idea how I did so well, considering how little school work it seemed that I did. The only classes I remember much from is Physics, Photography and Trig. With bowling, I bowled two games with a 183 score in a row. The highest I've scored ever!
I owe a big thanks to Georgette for the last week. When I didn't care anymore, you gave me so much assistance in finishing my assignments. There is an even larger thanks that goes to my Father in Heaven and Lord and Savior, Jesus. Without all They have blessed my life with, and the abilities I have been given, I wouldn't have been able to complete this.
I also challenged the computer literacy class that is a required class. You have to pass it with an 80% or better. I received a 79.74%, but I guess they gave it to me!!!! I should now be ready to head up to the U with my letter of completion. Oh happy day, oh happy day!
Never again will I complete a 16 credit hour semester and work full time, unless the Lord Himself comes down and tells me to. My lesson has been learned and I know my limit for school, work and family.
This definitely calls for a root beer float in celebration!

Employees
How to Properly Place NEW EMPLOYEES
1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.
2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.
4. Then analyze the situation:
a. If they are counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department.
b. If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing.
c. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.
d. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning.
e. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.
f. If they are sleeping, put them in Security.
g. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology
h. If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.
i. If they say they have tried different combination's, they are looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.
j. If they have already left for the day, put them in Marketing.
k. If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.
l. If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

100 Days (and counting)!
Well the little baby ticker on the side says that we only have 100 days until our little baby girl, Emmalee, is due to join us! It's crazy to think that I am almost six months pregnant, time is sure flying. I am hoping that Emmalee does come just a tad bit early (but not too much, of course!). We are just excited to meet her! Yeah for the 100 day countdown!

11 Months Old!!!
We can hardly believe it!!! Our baby boy is a mere four weeks from his first birthday--how does that happen?!! Since last month Andrew has overcome his dislike of grass and promptly crawls away anytime he gets a chance. He has recently discovered the local park and playground and LOVES going headfirst down any slide he can get close to (picture a diver going off a diving board =) No walking yet but he is getting very close, we have a feeling that Andrew might skip walking altogether and go straight to running! He loves to EAT especially fruit and lets us know when we are not shoveling it into his bottomless pit fast enough! He definitely keeps us on our toes--Happy 11 month day Andrew!

It is official!
Today was a great day for me. I went to my orientation for the U and registered for classes. My sexy picture for my UID is also taken, and all I need now are my books and a parking pass and I'm ready to go. I think I will only need one book this year, so that's a serious plus! Calculus I, and it's far less than my Trig book for this semester and MUCH thicker. It will also work for Calc II! So surprising! I also found out about the financial aid and what a relief that was. My tentative schedule is as follows:
I also have two online classes scheduled. Middle Eastern Geography and a computer programming lab. The total credit hours are 14.5. I feel so much more relieved with this schedule than this semesters schedule. 16 credits is far too many for me to work full time and spend time with the family. All of this stuff has happened so fast and really stressed me out when I was reminded of the financial aid I might have had to complete.
Acceptance, check.
Financial aid, check.
Orientation, check.
Meet with counselor, check.
Register for classes, check!
