Cooper, The Big ONE

Cooper's Birthday is Sunday. I just can't believe that it was a whole year ago that two families came together and camped out in a hospital waiting room for 28 hours. All 20 of us there for one reason, one person. And I must say that although it really sucked sitting in the hard chairs and not to mention being trapped in a room with that much family I (and I am sure everybody) would do it again in a heart beat because Cooper you are so worth it. You are the best thing to happen to our family and we love you so much. This past year I have truly enjoyed watching you discover your world and learn new feats. If this year with you was so wonderful I can't even imagine how the next 50 will be.
Your Uncle Melly and Aunt Jeremey love you kiddo

Ta Ta to the Summer Term

One more class and it is all over for for 20 some odd days!
Last night was the final for my American Sign Language class. We had to stand in front of the class and sign a song. I am glad that I went first because some peoples songs were breath taking. (I did Jack Johnson, Do you Remember?)
So far 2 classes finished and 2 classes passed! One more to go. Wish me luck for my last final Friday night.

Looks like you can not erase what is not supposedly there

I need strength today and for the next several days. I really don't know how good it is to be lost in your own thoughts.

My quiting smoking is not doing so well right now but I am glad to report that the crave is gone all that is left is the routine. That is the hardest part to break. I keep taking the pills that are making me so sick. But now I have to wonder, is it the pills or is it just the stress of my life and the drama that has been filling it?

But on another note, I am joining the police academy in January. This will mess up my progress on my BS but it really seems like the right thing to do now. I have to be responsible for me. It is time. I will be doing this sooner or later, so why not sooner?
Wish me luck for all my upcoming adventures.

A New Beginning

Erase and start over....sometime that is the cure. (At least I hope so)

Saturday I started the quit smoking pill. So I am on day 3 and all I can say is I have never felt nausea like this. It should pass soon. Let's see how I do.

I lost my honors in Psychology this weekend. You can not fall below a B in any psychology class and I am pretty sure I did. It is my own fault. But it is a really big bummer. I really did want it. My whole reason is if I am going to go to a less credible school I should at least kick ass in it. Oh well.

Just can't wait!

In two long weeks I am going on vacation with my best friend Lauren. It will be our 20th anniversary of being Friends. Lauren, Hollie and I are going to St Augustine for the weekend. No kids and No husbands allowed! This is going to be great. I so totally deserve a weekend away.
September Jeremey and I will be going on vacation for one whole week. Not sure where yet but it will be great where ever, as long as it is not home.

The end of the road?

Today was much better.
As weird as it is I have been wondering about an old friend and since I didn't have anyway to contact him except an address I did the most ancient act...I wrote a letter. Now we just wait to see if there will be a response.
My father-in-law took me out to dinner. I had a really good time. And tomorrow I go out to dinner again. It is silent dinner night for my American sign language class. This is always interesting. So sorry Ashley's for the nasty trick. No we are not really all deaf.
My hopes are arising.

What I have learned.

I have heard many times that marriage is hard. I knew that it takes work. I got that. It seems sometimes that I am rolling a huge bolder up a very steep hill. How do I complete this task with only two hands pushing?

I wonder?

Have you ever hit the worst day of your life? The next day was just as bad but in a different way and this cycle keeps repeating. When does it end?
Have you ever wished that you lived near a cave? I would like one just far away, far enough to forget.
When is the last time you smiled? Really, truly, genuinely smiled. Can you remember? I can't.
I am looking at this blanked, I no more that 3 minutes ago folded and put away, in a matted mess on the couch. Did it even matter that I spent my time to fold it? Did I do it wrong, was it meant to be haphazardly thrown around? Was I suppose to wash it?
What else do I do wrong that is a waste of my time? But really what else do I have to so with my time? If I didn't have all these little pointless things I would have nothing.

Take me out to the ball game!

I was very happy to be apart this new adventure with the Woodruff family. Cooper's first Baseball game! I must say that he did so good even through the extra inning and the black out.




The nicest butt in the field! I had to get this picture.


Happy 4th to all!

Love you old man!


The "Dork" in the middle :)
