Springtime Update

So some people know and some people don't, so I decided to fill everyone in at the same time. I found out completely by accident that the college I was attending was not a nationally accredited college, and from talking to various people including potential employers, if your school is not nationally accredited, your diploma or degree is pretty much worthless. So I withdrew from the college I was attending, and I am now attending Herzing College Online. They have physical campuses and online campuses. So while I am attending college online, I do have lectures, papers, weekly assignments, discussion board assignments which is suppose to replicate classroom discussions, and I have group projects. When I signed up I did not realize how time consuming it would be. I have had to reprioritize my days, and give up some things temporarily until things slow down, like going to the gym; I have less social time, etc. I have enjoyed every single second of this experience though, I am learning so much already, and my brother, has helped me already with writing my first paper.

I have also started applying for jobs at various medicinal facilities and have gone on a couple interviews. I am hoping to get a part time or full time job soon, to get my foot in the door at a medical facility. I realized after thinking about it just because in two years I will have a degree, does not guarantee me a job in the field of my choice, people want you to have some kind of medical background. So I have applied for jobs where I have a strong background, and experience, within medical facilities. So please pray I find something soon.

So for those who don't hear from me as often, I am trying my best to fit everything in. I am also helping my wonderful sister in law Jess out as an interim babysitter, until her summer babysitter can start. So it's been a touch on the chaotic side for me. THANK GOD for nap time.

So I have two courses this semester, and I think three next semester, I am taking summer classes, oh joy!

I have already met some wonderful classmates online, and I feel like I am already growing with what I am learning

On the up side I have not had to give up exercises completely, Robert walks with me a good three miles every night he has off. It does help, and it is a hilly walk, so we will both have buns of steel at the end of summer... LOL!

Some things I am excited about. One of my best friends is flying in from D.C. for my birthday. Missy and I with our husbands are doing dinner and going to see Sex and the City on my birthday, WOOT! The fabulous friends of mine are all spending the day together as a birthday celebration on the 31st, and less than a month after that I get to go home to see my BFF and family! I CAN NOT WAIT!

The boys are doing great. Enjoying the warm weather. Justin and Daddy have made their very own worm farm. Justin is learning how to ride his bike with out training wheels. Lucas is finally showing interest in potty training. They are both as sassy and entertaining as usual.

Here is a slideshow of some recent pics of the boys.

Hey, I was glad to see an update on your blog! I check it every once in a while, but because we used to see you everyday, I pretty much knew what was going on anyway! Sorry you are missing out at the gym, you definitely didn't miss much today, besides PAIN! I'm glad things are going well at your "real" school! Good luck with the job thing, hopefully you find something soon. We'll talk to you later! Have a great week!

P.S. Thanks for the comment on my blog!
