Life

It seems like forever since I last put anything up and I have wanted to for a while, but sometimes I can be a little OCD about things and so I have been postponing posting anything because I wanted the events to be in order of when they happened. I finally realized that if I waited to post again until I actually sat down at my computer at home and uploaded the pictures I wanted to use, I would never make another post. :) My semester of school is over and I am extremely excited to have a little break before I take on my final semester of my Bachelor's Degree. It will have taken me a full 10 years to complete my degree, but I figure that I at least finished and that is the biggest accomplishment. If it took me longer than most people, oh well... I did it and I have to be proud of myself for that. I will be the 3rd person in my family to achieve this accomplishment and for that I am extremely proud of myself. I will let everyone know when I will be actually walking. I know it won't be until May of 2009, but as it gets closer I will update the exact date.

Jackie and I will be heading to North Dakota at the end of July for her nephew's wedding. We are excited to have the opportunity to go back for another family visit, but more importantly, we are extremely excited to share our road trip to North Dakota with her sister Mary and Mary's youngest daughter Karmen. Mary and Karmen will be coming out to California for a couple weeks as a graduation gift for Karmen (I think ?) and we are thrilled to have them come! It will be nice to have the time to better get to know Mary and Karmen (as I have not had the opportunity to visit with either one of them much) as well as for Jackie to spend some quality time with her sister and niece. :)
