A lot can happen in three months

In the last three months since I've blogged...

I've taken and completed three college hours of Medical Terminology and received an "A". So very excited about that, cause I worked my stinkin' butt off for it!

I've observed 8.5 hours at an amazing pediatric clinic and loved every. single. minute. of it. (My next setting will be inpatient, only because I want the experience. I can tell you right now that that's not where I want to be.)

I've registered for seven hours to take in the fall (starting Monday!!), and I'm very excited about everything that goes along with that. Though that last summer course was tough, I liked working hard and seeing good results. I know it's going to be a great semester.

I've visited my dad a couple more times. I wish I could go see him weekly, but life does not permit at this moment. He's doing great, making progress and doing better each day. I'm still waiting for him to pick up the phone to call me. Soon, I pray.

I went on vacation with my family and five of my favorite people in the whole world. We went to Orlando for ten days and had a wonderful time. Lots of sun, coffee on the patio, Disneyworld, Phase 10, good food, and laughter!!

I overcame my fear of elevators. Looong story saved for another post, but I promise-- this was a HUGE thing for me. Just to put it into perspective... At one point in an elevator on vacation, my 16 year old said to me, "Wow Mom, this is the first time I've been in an elevator with you." And he was right!

I resistered my youngest son for public school and watched him have an amazing first week. He jumped right in without grumbling or complaining, and his teacher said that he is "a breath of fresh air" in their classroom. What a blessing for this mama to hear!!

I stood in the driveway as my daughter drove off to college. She came back that afternoon (since she's living at home), but I was still very sad that day. It was the first day all three of my kids were gone, two of them taking big steps in school this year, and it was rough on me. But I'm so very proud of both of them!

I turned 36. I celebrated at my favorite restaurant, and I had family and close friends with me to celebrate. It was an amazing night!

I went to a Rangers game, got a great tan, went to a Beauti Control spa party (where I signed up to sell the products though that's just not gonna work out for me- though if you wanna buy some of their products I have a bunch of stuff I need to sell), and I went to my home town to visit my grandmother and a friend that I've had since I was about 13. It was an awesome trip!

Oh... and I got a brand new car! First new car I've ever had. It had 9 miles on it when I drove it off the lot and I loooove it. It still smells new and is shiny and rides great and is so beautiful. It's a 2011 Camry, and I wanted one of those because my daughter is driving our 2001 Camry that still runs great and most importantly-- is paid for. I plan on having this car for a very long time.

I plan on getting back into the routine of blogging again. I should probably notify the three people that used to read this blog...

Have a happy Sunday!!
