First day of school

Well, I made it through the first night of class. It was a little intimidating though. We have to write 3 papers and the first one is due June 23. This should be fun. Other than that, I really think I am going to like the class. Matthew told me last night that he wants to learn the music with me. I think he will enjoy it also.
This is probably the last post until we get back from Florida. So, until then...

Catching up

Well, things got a little crazy these past couple of weeks. Last weekend I went to Provincetown, Cape Cod for my brother's wedding. I went by myself so I really enjoyed two days with no kid or husband. It was so peaceful, I shopped most of the day and did what I wanted when I wanted to. Here are some pictures of the weekend. My brother Justin is the one on the left, his partner Dan on the right.








Then this past week was pretty much Matthew's last week of school. Although he has to go back for three days this week, it is really just a formality. On this past Friday his class did an end of the year "Praise Presentation". The kids were so cute. Then Mrs. Ward (Matthew's teacher) did a slide show of all the kids, baby pictures, the first day of school, and then the end of the year. She also had a bunch of slides from the school year, wow, they had a very busy year. Immediately following the the presentation we went to the Tucker's house for a pizza party. They have the best creek in their back yard that the kids got to play in. They had water games and water balloons, we ordered pizza and then had ice cream sundaes. The kids had so much fun, Matthew begged me not to go.






This weekend there was a conference at our church, so Joe and I went to a few of the session. Matthew got to spend some time with our friend Abby while we were at church. Abby took Matthew to his soccer game on Friday night and then they went to the park on Saturday morning. We met in M'boro so that we could get a couple of things for our Florida trip coming up next weekend. Now the rest of the weekend is relaxing getting stuff together for our trip. Matthew's nanny will be staying here at the house with the dogs while we are in Florida, so I guess that makes her the dogs nanny also. I will update probably sometime on Wednesday to let you know how my first class goes.

It's Official

Well, I just paid for my summer class. I will be taking Music appreciation Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6pm-8pm. This is the only class that would work with my schedule and it is a fine arts requirement, so I figured I would get it out of the way. I also found out yesterday that my English class from college 19 years ago transferred, so I actually have three credits already. Only 57 more to go. I am quite nervous about starting this whole process over. I start classes next Tuesday the 26th. Pray for me, Please!!!!

College update

Just thought I would let everyone know, I finally heard back from my adviser. He has recommended that I take English 1020 to start off with. I also have to take a math placement test on the 21st to see what math I will need to take. That should be interesting.

Not much else exciting here. I am getting ready to travel to CT. for my brothers wedding. Not sure what to expect but he is my brother and I will always be there for him. I will post pictures when I get back. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Storms

I desperately need a night with no storms. Matthew is really afraid of the storms since the tornado went through Murfreesboro. He thinks every storm is going to do that. The past two nights there have been storms and he has been in my bed. I promise although this may sound sweet that he wants to be close to me, there is a difference between being close and mugging me. He has his feet in my back or wrapped around my legs. He pretty much sleeps on top of me. So he hasn't slept well which has made for a grumpy whiney child, and I have not slept which makes for a grumpy mommy. Not a good combination. Please pray for a night with no storms tonight so that we can all get some much need sleep.
