last month of school!

I'm slowly starting to realize that the semester is coming to an end. There's only a month left of school. Finals are right around the corner. Thanksgiving is next week already. Christmas is a few weeks away. And then New Years. This semester has flown by. I'm no where near ready for finals. I only have 2 final tests to take and then the english presentation. After finals are over I move 2 days later. It's all finally becoming real to me that this is my last semester at SWIC and my last month in Belleville and then I'm off to a new adventure and a new beginning.

I'm getting really nervous about the move. I know I'm only going an hour and a half away but I've never been more then 10 miles from my mom before. And to top it off we have to give up our dog because we can't take her. That's the worst part of it all. It's gunna kill my little girl because that dog is her best friend. Hopefully someday we'll be able to get her a new dog.

I went down to Carbondale on Friday and registered for classes. I'm taking sociology, lit, elementary math, and two education classes. It's gunna be a hard semester. Somewhere in between my full school schedule I have to work, keep my house in order, and be a wife and mother all at the same time. This should be an interesting experience for me. We've been living with my husbands parents for the last 3 months so we could save up money for school and now we're going to be out on our own in a whole new place. I've time to grow up once and for all.

I have 3 more weeks working at the library and then I'm done with work until the move. At least I'll be able to concentrate on finals and not have to worry about going to work. And I'll be able to spend more time with my family. All in all I'm ready for the move and just patiently waiting for December 19th to get here and start the next chapter in my life!

halloween and my birthday

My birthday was pretty awesome. I didn't get to go to 6 flags because it was cold and raining so we just went the the bar a played pool. I didn't get drunk like most people get on their 21st but I also had to go home and take care of my daughter. I had a lot of fun though. I went to the casino for the first time too and lost about 40 bucks. I didn't mind losing because I still got to spend alone time with my husband and just hang out for a little while baby free. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with her, but I need some adult conversation and not all baby talk.

Halloween was great. My little girl was minnie mouse. She was so adorable. She walked around holding her little elmo basket all night and got to have her first sucker. She didn't really understand what was going on but she figured out when she smiled she got more candy. She loved it. We took her to a halloween party for kids and she was in a costume contest but didn't win. She should have tho because she was so much cuter then the pig that won. I guess I'm bias though. Can't wait until next year when she can go around and know a little more about whats going on! Time to start planning her costume so we can win that contest!
