The Hope

I am hoping that I can make my blog into something a little more exciting than just random ramblings. I was just browsing around peoples blogs today, jumping from one page to another mostly through Lara and Allyson's blogs, and there are some really unique ones out there. I notice that I hardly have any pictures on my blog and I think that's weird. Should I be sharing more? I don't think that I am a private person, but I have to wonder when the only picture you can see of me, my head is hidden by a huge bubble (still haven't beaten that record=). My sisters keep offering to revamp my blog for me, but then it won't really be my blog. It will be a collaboration instead of something just from me. Oh well, I guess when I have the baby and I have a spare moment to blog, I will come up with something good.

Things are going well this week in the pregnancy. I am in my final week of my second trimester and things are starting to ache. I still haven't grown out of my work pants (thank goodness) and I honestly don't look that much bigger yet. Hopefully, the baby is sucking up and replacing all of the fat that was there before her and then after I have her, maybe I will be skinnier. Wishful thinking, but I can hope. Poor Chris has finally succumbed to my cold and is now on a regimen of NyQuil and Dayquil. It stinks cause we are currently sleeping in separate rooms and so he can't enjoy the nice soft bed to get better. Now, don't get the wrong idea, we aren't fighting or anything. We are having some slight snoring issues. He says I snore too loudly (thanks again to pregnancy) and I insist that it's not really me, but him. So since neither one of us can sleep cause the other is snoring, he is temporarily moved to the hide-a-bed in the couch. As the prego one, naturally I get the bed=) It's really weird though and I can't wait to be back to normal so we can both stay in the same room. The hide-a-bed takes up the entire living room and it's annoying.

I still don't think too much about the pregnancy, so that way I don't freak out too much. The only think I am thinking about is the money issue. We can't live off of Chris's paycheck alone at this point and so I am trying to save up enough money to cover rent for six months and then we can live off of his pay. I thought maybe we could try and live off of his pay for one month and see how it goes. We will try that for the month of March. So if you see us and we are starving, you will know it isn't working=) We are getting better about not eating out, although delivery is still an option=) The good thing is that a crockpot is on our wishlist and I found a really good cookbook. Well I hope that everyone is doing well and we will keep you updated on the drama that is our lives=)

PS: This is the best photo I could find and I hope you like it. It is Hurricane Dean from Space!!

The Name...

So I think we have finally found a name that we both like. After much debate and discussion, we are going to name our new baby girl....
Aubry Ann Godfrey

I think this is the spelling that we like as well, cause for some reason Chris doesn't like it to end in "ey". Which is fine by me. So no one else can use this name in the family. K? Anyways, I hope that every one has an awesome Valentine's Day with lots of conversation hearts. I already have two bags that I am eating and I will probably get through them all by Saturday. Things this week are going okay. I am starting to get tired all the time again and my hips really hurt. Plus, I am still not completely over my cold, I am still coughing a bit. I am hoping that by next week it will all be over.
We did our taxes and got almost nothing back this year. Kind of annoying. Last year we got a bunch back and I was looking forward to spending our tax return on Chris's new TV. We are saving up for the baby but I know that we will never be able to justify buying a new TV once the kid is born, and since we really need a new one I am going to get one for Chris's birthday. Nothing too expensive, but hopefully something that will last for the next ten years. Well, that is what is going on this week and for the next little while. Despite feeling a little crappy, I think that I am feeling a little less stressed about everything. Which is a good sign. Have a great week!

A Baby Girl (No Pink Allowed=)

So for those of you who didn't receive my text, I am having a girl. And just so we are clear, pink will be allowed, but not overwhelmingly so. I really prefer green and purple or pink and green colors. I also don't really fancy those bows that you strap to the babies head or glue there. Lets face it people, just because I am having a girl doesn't mean I all of a sudden like pink. You all know that I hate most things girly, but I do indulge sometimes. So just don't attack me with pink frills and lace okay? Oh and Chris decided that he really doesn't like Adriana, so now I need a new A name. It just seems all the good ones are taken!

Happy New Year!

Well this will be my first post of the year 2009. I thought about what I should write and I guess an update would be best. So far I am half-way through this pregnancy. The first couple months were horrible. But thankfully I am feeling tons better, except for the migraines. I keep getting them for some reason and it's very annoying. There really isn't a whole lot I can do about it. If I still have them when I get home, I usually take a nap and they go away. But then I have a hard time getting to sleep cause I am not tired anymore. A vicious cycle. Chris only has 3 months left at the TSA before he can quit and do whatever he wants. See, you have to put in 5 years to receive certain benefits for retirement and he will have worked there for 5 years on his birthday this year. I am really excited for him. I am still working for the forklift company and I am enjoying it not that I am not sick anymore. I still have days where I don't feel good, but they are few and far between now. I find out in a couple of days what the sex of the baby is and I am hoping for a boy. Not that I wouldn't want a girl, but my two friends who are also pregnant are having girls and there needs to be some balance in the world right?
Anyway, I am extremely nervous about the economy right now and I find it very hard to think about having a kid, when at any moment I could lose my job. Plus, I know I am going to have to go back to work and I don't want too. I am really hoping to move to a different state where the cost of living is less than Nevada. It is going to be hard enough to do without having to pay over a thousand dollars in rent every month. I don't know how people do it. I would love to find a nice work from home job to do while I am with the baby, just to supplement our income when I am not working. Does anyone have any ideas? I am going to talk to some different people about it. I really don't want to have to do daycare, but I might have too. Well, enough about my stress worries and more about what I want to name the baby.
I have picked out three boy names and three girl names. Ready?
Anthony
Travis
Marshall
Adriana
Freya
Rosemary
These are subject to change, but I like them so far. I am hoping that I don't feel the need to name my kid something annoying. These seem to be good solid names with a low chance of bullying involved. I wasn't specifically bullied for my first name in school, it was the last name that got me into trouble. But, people soon learned not to make certain jokes around me. I am quicker and meaner than I look. I love my last name now, cause you can't really make fun of it. I guess one of my main worries for my kids, is the bullying that other kids tend to dish out. I don't want my kids to have to deal with that. And sadly the bullying is not limited to public schools or private schools. You seem to run into it all over and that makes me sad. But, there is no sense in worrying about it right now. But, I am not going to rule out home schooling if I hate the school system.
Chris and I have been working really hard lately on saving for the baby and when I am not able to work. We are doing pretty well with it, but in about a half hour, my work is having a meeting about lowering everyone's pay. I am not supposed to know about it, but what else can it be? I mean with the way things are going they don't want to let people go, but they need to save money. I am not sure how I am feeling about this. I know I make less than my two predecessors before. So I am kinda annoyed. I guess it just depends on how much they are reducing it by. Well, I hope this is a solid update for everyone who reads my blog and wanted to know what is going on. Have an awesome weekend and have fun!
PS. I have decided to get the Wii Fit in order to help stay in shape and loose the baby weight. I am excited!
P.S.S They are reducing most wages by 2.6 percent. It could be worse.

Obey the Fist!!

So you all know that I haven't been feeling particularly well lately, and so I usually spend my weekends not leaving the safety and comfort of my filthy apartment. I really let it go this weekend. and last weekend. and probably this next weekend. I don't think I left my house from Friday after work to Monday morning on the way to work. I know, I am lame. But still, as I sat there watching reruns of Invader Zim, I can't say that staying inside really affected me. You see, I loathe people. I loathe them as they shop around me, as they breathe my air, and mostly, when they drive within 100 yards of me. Am I a bad person? I don't think so. Because I don't despise all people, just most of them. But that's okay.
I am trying to decide what Chris wants for Christmas. He never says, and then I have to guess. Which is very annoying. I don't really want anything except to move away and to stop being sick. But I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving!! I can't wait. I get to see my cousin and my aunt who I haven't seen forever and we get to eat homemade Italian food. Yumm!! I am hoping to see my family before I go up there, and then next year, maybe my family can come up and visit me and have Thanksgiving in Idaho!! Can't wait to get up there!! Well I am off to read a good book, so have an awesome week!

The Job

Well things are going good these days. Nothing really exciting is going on besides visiting Sheryl for Thanksgiving and then visiting Chris’s parents next week. Things are slow at work and actually not picking up. If I wasn’t so sure about my job, I would be worried that I would be fired. If it was a smaller company, I would definitely be fired. I really don’t do all that much, even though it seems like I do. I help out a lot of my fellow employees with what they are doing, so I try and stay busy. But mostly I just sit here and contemplate how nice it is to be working here. There is some concern by some of the people that I won’t be coming back to work after the baby. It really depends on whether or not I need to. We are planning to move to Boise next year, and to be honest, it might be a bigger pain in the neck to come back to work for a month and then quit. Plus, it would look really bad. Cause people always plan in advance a move so it’s not like I wouldn’t have known. But the cool thing is that when they hired me originally, I told them my plans to move away. I told them 1 to 2 years tops that I would be living in Vegas. And when I move, it will have been two years at this job. Probably my longest ever. Unlike Chris, who has worked at TSA for 5 years. He has staying power. I am pretty flighty. I have decided to back up off of school for a bit. I don’t think that I can really spend more time there especially with how I am going to be feeling. So I dropped a class and now I only have my American Sign Language class. I might take the next one, if I have time, but I would have my final right about the time the baby is due. Oh well, I have written enough especially considering where I am. Talk to ya later!

Nothing Much

Just an update. Nothing really happening except for some nasty morning or actually all day sickness. I have been feeling a little crappy, but hopefully things will be getting better. My doctor gave me some massive pills and apparently they are supposed to help. Other than the sickness, things have been going good. I have been trying to eat healthier and that may be my problem. I have never done good with healthy foods=) Anyway, we are heading up to Billings for Halloween to see Chris's parents and sister. We are super excited to see the new house and to hang out with them. Hopefully there will be some snow on the ground. It sucks cause it is still about 75 degrees here, which is awful. Anyways, heads up, we are moving to Boise, ID next year. We are really excited to be out of Vegas, and Chris is going to finish up his Bachelors program. And now with a baby, I am thinking that I will probably stop working, or only work part time. We really miss Lara and her family. We haven't seen them in forever, and even though Chris would never admit it, he misses Dallin being all excited to see him=) Well, this isn't a very long blog, but I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Prego

Well, I guess I will say it out loud. I am pregnant. Yup, not sure how far along, but there it is. And to be perfectly honest, my body feels like crap. But I am still feeling a little shocked, like I can't quite believe that I got pregnant, but whatever. This probably won't be a very long post because I have to drag Chris to bed so he can go to work tomorrow. I am really looking forward to quitting my job. It has become a drag these past few weeks. Oh well. Good night and I promise to blog better tomorrow.

Political Idiots

Well I guess since nothing exciting is really happening, I would like to rant a little on my blog. I am going to rip into this stupid political race for the presidency. Usually I know exactly who I am voting for, and what they stand for, but for some reason, I can’t seem to stand either one of the candidates. I haven’t been impressed by either one, let alone motivated to vote for them. I was disgusted in the last campaign with the commercials and billboards where one candidate would slam another. They say horrible things about one another and yet play nice when they are face to face. It is very irritating and I thing that they are both two-faced liars and hypocrites. I think that I am going to look at the independent candidates a little more this year. I think it is high time that we break away from two political parties and start broadening our horizons. Both parties are corrupt and neither one is really looking out for this country. It’s like a bad movie. It is high time that we had someone leading this country who wasn’t attached to some political party and had to do what they say every time. Don’t forget to register to vote. If we want to end the political lies at some point, everybody needs a voice. Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest. Oh and by the way, I hope both of them break out into hives for the debate=)

School and Such

Wow, I can’t believe it has taken me so long to post on my blog. So much has happened in the last little bit. Chris graduated from ITT Tech and I have been enjoying evenings at home with him lately. I started school again for this semester. I originally wanted to take a science class, but they haven’t processed all of my credits yet and so I couldn’t. Instead I am taking American Sign Language and believe me, it is tons more fun than some stupid science class. I think it has helped that I have tried so many different languages before this one. This one is going really well and I feel really good about learning it. I am hoping to incorporate it into my teaching degree when I finally get it. I am taking my time and trying to focus on life as a whole and not just school or work. Besides school, we think that we have finally decided where we are going to move next year. It looks like, at this point, that Boise, ID is our destination. When Chris decides to go back to school to finish his bachelors degree, he only has 1 year and 9 months left. I think that we can try out Boise and see how we like it. If it is good, then we might decide to stay. I am just really glad there is an end in sight. I am completely ready to get on with our lives and get out of Las Vegas. It hasn’t been so bad here, it’s just, I still feel like I am in the exact same spot I was in when we first moved here. I don’t feel as though I have grown or matured at all. I need new experiences and new surroundings. Well, I am super excited that Lara and Neil have purchased their new house, and I am very sad that they will be moving away soon. I am going to miss babysitting Dallin and seeing them in church. *sniff* *sniff* I am going to miss Jennifer when she goes on her mission and I miss Amelia now that she is away at college. Things are going to be really different for my poor parents. We are all spreading out and leaving home and it feels weird. Pretty soon we will all have to travel a long ways to visit. I can’t tell you how relieved I have been feeling now that we have decided at least a little bit, on our future direction.

Besides all of the life drama, I am just so excited to recommend the new Terry Brooks book, The Gypsy Morph. I absolutely loved it, and I will have a hard time waiting for the next book to come out in a year. I am really looking forward to the next Eragon book. I need to replace my whole set and I am hoping to do it with paperbacks. I have been buying hardbacks because I want to read them right away and I am wasting a lot of money. I am really loving the whole Karin anime, as well as the Manga Chibi Vampire. They are funny and I recommend them. Oh, one more thing, I hope that everyone is registered to vote. I don’t really want to have to kick all of your rears for not voting. Have a voice people=)

A Day In the Life Of...

A day in the life of a regular person. How boring right? I mean, isn't drama and uncertainty what makes the world go round? Well I do try and avoid drama in all of its many forms. And I would like to think that in most ways I accomplish my task of avoiding it. I just need to avoid my trigger people. No names need to be mentioned, because I am not sure that this site is entirely secure. I guess what it comes down to, is resilience. Can I last another year here and can I focus only on the good in my life? I am hoping that I can focus only on the positive sides of things and not on the negative. I guess a positive is that soon I will be getting to spend more time with Chris.
I am really looking forward to it, because in less than a month Chris is graduating from school with his associates degree, and he thinks it will be some time before he gets his bachelors. I can't begin to describe how excited I am to have my husband back. It's been two long years of missing him everyday he has been at school and now that it is almost over. Having him around is one of the nicest things about my life. I miss just hanging out with him and enjoying each others company. I am really looking forward to finishing up my associates degree sometime soon as well. It sure has taken us a long time, but I think it has been worth it.
I am hoping that I can put my main focus, not on a job that I am not planning on keeping, but on my education that has been put on hold long enough. I never realized how much I enjoy learning and how much I want to be a teacher so I can get my summers off. I know, purely selfish, but at least I can admit it.
Have a nice summer!

The Missing Me

So it has been a roller coaster ride this past July. First, the 4th weekend which was really stressful at work but I got past it. Then Rachel came down and hung out with us in Vegas. Well, for any of you who know me, you know that I have a tendency lately to get really stressed and freak out a little. Most of you also know that I have alot of stomach problems. Finally, I listened to the advice of my mom and went to see my doctors. That and the fact that I missed an important work trip because I was freaking out before my flight. So I went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with anxiety and some kind of anxiety depression. He also gave me samples of a medicine that he had me on about a year ago for my stomach. It prevents acid which can cause ulcers. So I have some new medicine that I am trying out. My biggest fear when going to the doctor was that he would tell me it was all in my head and that all I really needed to do was exercise. I know I need to, but when I am stressed all day at work, I am always exhausted when I get home so I thought that it would be a vicious cycle. I was very heartened to learn that he had a battle plan for me. He gave me something to help with the anxiety and whatever the depression was ( I can't remember the name he gave it.) And my favorite heartburn medication.

It was like a whole new life. I haven't felt this good in ages. I can eat something and not get sick two minutes later. I can go out in public and not stress out about the bathroom locations. I hadn't realized how unhappy I had really become in the last couple of months. It has alot to do with work and stress. I have a certain trigger person who can send me from happy to pissed in about ten seconds and I hadn't realized how badly it was until, I had something to help me deal with them. I just want to thank everyone who was so supportive when I was having health problems, and not making me feel guilty for cancelling stuff and being a grump. My only regret was waiting so long to see a doctor and have someone help me through it all. For those of you having a stressful time these days, I urge you to get help from somewhere. Don't let it get to the point of depression and ulcers!! I hope that everyone has an awesome August!!

Nothing Too Interesting Yet...

Well I have not yet posted for the month of July and I feel kinda bad. There really isn't anything going on besides some medical problems on my part. But hopefully those will be fixed really soon and I can go back to enjoying life again. Chris is really looking forward to finishing school in September. We will probably take some time off and visit some family in celebration of some free time. We don't know yet if we are going to finish he schooling in Las Vegas, but we are hoping to find a better location in the near future, cause I don't like it down here. We miss the family and we are hoping to find a permanent location in the next year or so. Rachel is coming down to visit and we are really looking forward to spending some time out with her. Work is still stressful, but I think I am getting a handle on it. I don't mind it as much, just a little tedious. But other than all of the above there isn't anything going on.

On the other hand, for those of you who know how much me and Chris love anime, not many people know that anime was one of the things that brought us together. We struck up a conversation about Inuyasha and he invited me over to watch Slayers. It is now my favorite anime and I thought that there were only three seasons. Well we just found out that they just released another one in Japan! We are kinda watching them on You Tube right now, but I am so freakin' excited!! That is basically the only awesome thing to really look forward to for me. That and Terry Brooks new book that is out in September or August. Been waiting for a year for it, and I won't have to wait much longer!!!=)

Aww School Days...

So I am three days away from completing my first summer course online. It has been really long and very stressful. I do not recommend cramming a 15 week course into 4 weeks. In fact I should be doing my homework right now, but I really don't want to=) Naughty. This past weekend my sisters came down to visit. We had some fun, got sunburned, spent some of my mom's money, and basically had some fun. I do hate to admit that my stomach was on the fritz yet again and we had to cut out some activities=( Kinda makes you hate to eat. Oh well. Other than that there isn't much going on. Oh except for the fact that there used to be 3 girls in the office, but on thursday I will be the only one for awhile. Our new awesome receptionist has to relocate back to Arizona. Which sucks, cause I really liked working with her. *sigh* I guess I have to train a new person and try and do all my work. Not that I have a ton at this point, but our office manager is out for a week, cause her daughter is having a baby and so I am like the one kinda in charge. Everyone keeps asking me questions I don't know the answer to!

I am having a little trouble concentrating on my assignment. I wish the voices would stop telling me to watch TV and blog. Silly silly school. Soon to be over!!

School Days Hit Again

(I love this picture. It is from the movie Spirited Away, fan art! Enjoy!)

Hello everyone!! How is the summer going? Probably not so good for Rachel in Idaho Falls cause I just saw on the news that they woke up to some snow in June!! I am so freakin' jealous. I mean, what do I gotta do to get some kind of cold weather down here? I hate this place. I cannot wait til we are gone. Not for awhile though. Well, Me and Chris started school this week. He actually has four classes altogether and I have two. I am doing online courses so at least I get to stay at home. He has to be in class Monday through Thursday and I miss him. Oh well. I just hope he gets all of his homework done. If he does, then he can graduate with his associates in the September!! Woohoo! First college graduate in the family, all two of us. But I am close behind him, let me tell you. I could probably have my associates by next may if I am good. That is why I am busting out two online courses right now. It is a little harder to be motivated to do the homework, but so far I haven't fallen behind. One assignment is due in 2 hours and I am done already! Well almost. Someone has to respond to my postings, but no one has. So if they don't, then I will just submit it. I posted yesterday, so I don't know what everyone's problem is. Oh well. I will post as soon as Chris gets home. I am still fighting a nasty cough and last night I slept on the couch cause I was bothering Chris. He was trying to sleep but at 12 am I decided to take pity on him and leave the room. Only problem is that through some random actions, I ended up sleeping in and being 45 minutes late to work! I know, I know!! I about freaked out right there. I made it to work in 10 minutes and thanked the stars that I had showered the night before.
Well, I will probably work all day tomorrow and Saturday on homework. One class is only 4 weeks long and it is very busy. Anyways people, have an awesome day and have a good weekend!!

Complaining & Not Sorry

I hate being sick!!! Grrrgh!! I was trying to take things easy cause you are supposed to rest and get better right? I slept and was good, but I keep feeling worse!! Oh well. It only sucks because now I am a little stressed at work and I don't think that it is helping my cold, or my allergies, or whatever else is wrong with me. I just need like a week of sleep and cough medicine and I would be good as new! Other than that nothing has been going on this week. Just some changes at work and just playing my game. I am in the middle of breeding my Gold Chocobo. And I know nobody knows what that is, but believe me, it is important and hard to do. Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I am sorry, this was like my most boring blog. I did want to congratulate Amelia on her graduation though. I hope she loves college and doesn't get too bogged down with it. And Jennifer is doing great as far as I can tell. They both need to come down and hang out with me though. Hint, hint. We are going to get a scooter though. Gas is over 4 dollars and I can't take it anymore. We are going to sell Chris' car and get a scooter. A bright one so no one hits me. =) Have a happy day!!

An Astounding Disappointment & A Second Chance

Yeah, I am talking about Prince Caspian. I know I might be a little sensitive about books being made into movies, and I understand that things are never the same. However, when a movie doesn't even follow the same plot line and insists on making a conflict where there is none, well, I tend to get a little defensive. Prince Caspian completely undermined the importance of the 4 original children and turned Peter and Caspian into some kind of testosterone driven rivalry that didn't even begin to exist in the book. Not to mention, a complete battle that had no place in the story and the non-existent appearance of Aslan, and you can imagine my frustration when I had no idea what was going on. I didn't even know how it might end and I have the book practically memorized! I fail to see how the movie did the series any justice, and the only reason some people liked it was because they haven't read the book. I cried during half the movie because I was so disappointed and hurt. Whatever. Once again I had my standards set too high for Hollywood. I mean, all I wanted was the actual plot, but I guess that was too much to ask for.
Well, now that I am done ranting about a low standard movie, lets move onto more exciting things.

Like the fact that I have once again discovered my passion for Final Fantasy VII.

I know, I know. I can see my sisters all rolling their eyes at me (as I roll mine to all things pink and fluffy), but I meet their eye rolling with a stubborn set to my jaw and continue to waste my life in front of my favorite game console.
I started playing FFVII when I lived in Spokane before I even met My Chris. I had a best friend named Chris Park who worked at Denny's with me and he introduced me to the game. I found a slightly used copy for 18 bucks (unheard of nowadays) and bought a used Play Station and started on a journey. I bought an unauthorized strategy guide off of Chris' younger brother for 20 bucks (another thing impossible to find now) and that completed everything I needed to have a grand adventure on one of the best known games in the entire series. One of the most frightful enemies in the entire game arena comes from that game. I guess more than anything, the game reminded me of an entire fantasy series played out with me interacting and being able to control the characters. There isn't another game I have played that I have liked as much as that one. Although Kingdom Hearts 2 is close. Of course it is made by mostly the same people and thats why I like it. I guess, I just really enjoy the chance to go back to a simpler time and enjoy the fun of running around on an airship with bunch of weird characters; a thief, a weird shaped dog, a foul-mouthed captain, a giant robot, a grumpy changeling, a really grumpy freedom fighter, and a tough girl who constantly kicks butt. I know, it sounds boring right? =) Well good luck to me and to all of you out there and with your summer vacations!!

The Pain of Pillows

How many of you out there have the same pillows you had growing up? I mean, I know I took mine with me when I went to college and to every house I have lived in the past five years. Then when I got married I still had it. Kinda gross when you think about it. I've been sick, dyed my hair, and had bloody noses on that poor thing. So why is it, that no matter how many pillows I buy to replace that one, they never feel right? I mean, in the past 3 years I went out and paid for 5 different kinds of pillows that are at this very moment becoming cat beds on my bedroom floor. Currently the one I am leaning on right now is one that I never planned on using for my head and at night it hurts my shoulders. I was at Costco today and I picked out another experimental pillow. Hopefully, this one will not end up on my floor every night as I toss and turn.
In case you are wondering why I don't just use my old pillow, which I still have, its because it is a little gross when I think about. Plus, when I tried to dye my hair green with Kool Aid in high school, it got all over it and it looks gross still. Not something you want to share with your husband. Things are pretty uneventful at home this past little bit. I still need to clean my house, even my co-workers complain about my dirty car and I still want to change my hair color. The black is fading and my roots are growing in. I did register for classes this summer. Which even though I wanted to take a science course, I decided to instead take two education classes that I need. I am actually really looking forward to it all. Finally, I get to go to school and learn stuff. I never thought I would actually look forward to that. I mean, what kid would ever want to go to school and how many adults wish that they had paid more attention or could go back and finish what they started. I am really happy that I have this chance. Well, I hope everyone got something for their moms for Mother's day and have a great week.
