Some Updates

Well, my surgery is scheduled for this Friday, October 31st. Good thing Logan is too little to know that I won't see him on his first Halloween. :(

I have to be at the hospital at 11am, and surgery is scheduled to begin between 12:30-1pm. It should last about an hour, barring any complications, and recovery is about 3-4 hours. Then I should be on my way home. Nick's parents are taking Logan for the weekend. It will be the longest I've ever gone without him! I am sad already. I am hoping I will either be A. In too much pain to notice, or B. On too many painkillers to notice! Haha.

I'm sure I will be fine, but it is still scary going under the knife. Before having Logan, I had never even been admitted to a hospital! I am not one to be sick or anything, so this is all pretty new to me.

Dad is leaving Monday for Colorado for Amanda's 18th Birthday. I hope they have a great time together. I am so happy that Dad was able to do that. He will take the train both there and back.

I can't believe that my baby sister is turning 18 this year, and that she is graduating from high school in May. It is not possible.. I swear. She is still the five year old in my memories! When did she grow up?? Happy Birthday Kiddo! I love you!

School is going great. I'm really enjoying what I am doing. I am working on getting my A+ certification, the most basic IT certification out there. I also was elected President of the PC User's Club (haha.. it will be a good resume booster), and am doing all of the product requisitions for our Repair Shop, through the college. All of these things are giving me extra experience for the job search.

The only thing that irritates me is that there are a lot of students in my program who don't really care about being here. My classroom is very noisy and disruptive. I try and block it out since I am actually paying my way through school, I don't qualify for financial aid this year.

Hopefully I will continue to move quickly this year, and be able to finish by the end of June. If I can't however, I will be done by next December. Yay! I can't wait until I finish, so I can get a career job. When that happens, if we are not out of the condo by then, we will hopefully be able to at least rent it out and get out of there.

It is getting so tight with all of Logan's stuff, and we are all on each others nerves. Who knows, maybe we will actually be able to sell it when we get it back on the market!

Well, I should get back to my schoolwork.

Don't forget to vote on Tuesday!
