I am finally a college GRADUATE!!!!!!

Hi guys and gals. I have been missing in action again for a while and just havent gotten to posting anything. I have lots of pix to share and my life with you. But afraid to share in case potential jobs find me on the internet.  Its scary from what we have been told. We have been told that some jobs require us to open up our Face Book accounts for them to see what we post and such. I will not be opening my FB account for anyone anytime soon. Even if it means I don't get the job. but here are some photo's of graduation.

the room the school rented for graduation. this was before the ceremony.

me in my cap and gown waiting for the photographer to take the group photo.

our practice run before the actual ceremony.

me with my program chair.  she is really sweet.

right as the actual ceremony started.  the girl you see right there by the edge of the front of the pix. she had just had her baby two days before hand. i call that tough and wanting to get her degree.

the last stage of graduation is getting our covers to our diplomas which will be here shortly in the next week or so.

Wow its been a While

HI all. Its been a while again. I have been busy with work and school. I have three weeks left of my Associates Degree. Can you believe that?? I am so excited and nervous at the same time.I am having a hard time with finding a job in my field of study though.  I keep looking and I keep hoping really. Jeff has had interviews but with him not graduating till December of 2013 he cant get into many of his positions he has applied for. They require travel and he has to be here for school.  But we are all excited. I promise to post pictures when I am done.I am going back for my Bachelors Degree. Classes start one week before my Associates Degree Graduation.. 

The girls are doing great. They are going to go spend three weeks with grandma in September and come home on my graduation party.  We are doing it at Bay Beach. Our local Amusement Park. Its the last weekend of the year they are open. I wish I could get my videos uploaded to my blog but for some reason they wont let me.  I have some awesome ones to show you guys and also I will have one to show you in about two weeks. 

I am sorry I am bouncy with my posts like usual. they are both enjoying there horse back riding lessons. Kora didn't do so well this last time because she wouldnt kick the horse to get him to listen to her. but other wise they are enjoying themselves. They are learning how smart horses are really. they were asking this one horse questions and he was actually answering them with yes and no answers. It was funny when they told me this last night before I fell asleep on them finally. I have been wore out from my job. 

I have some photos from all over the last few months. I wont post them all in one sitting and I hope not to take three months to make another post. I just havent had the time or energy to do much lately about any of it. But I will  post some here in a minute. We had a party at our house here last weekend. it was fun. A friend of ours and his wife own a Karaoke Business and they brought the system into town to our house. We had lassagna for those that came early and hamburgers and hotdogs for those that showed up later.  We had a few beers and soda and water. They even got me to sing a couple of songs. I dont think I will be doing that again but it was fun while it lasted. 

Enjoy the photos and I will keep you all posted on whats going on here in the next few months. I am graduating September 26th and my graduation party is September 28th.  Its been a long road but I am willing to make it even though it might kill me in the long road. I want this so badly. Take care my friends.

snowie isnt to fond of dogs but this friends female boston terrier likes her.

me and the girls. I have lost 30 pounds since posting pix of me.

mothers day and memorial day weekend.

Lots of Stuff going on the last few weeks.....

Lots have been happening the last few weeks. We have been busy. Last weekend was my first weekend in four weeks I have had off.  The whole WEEKEND!!! WOW!! Yes I enjoyed every minute of it. I spent time with the girls on Friday and then Saturday we went to our local  Amusement park that opened for the season on Weekends till May 31st. Then they are open all the time. We went Mini Golfing before we came home on Saturday. Kora beat us all.  It was a blast. I miss having family time like that and yes there are many pictures to come. Just trying to figure out which ones to  post. Brianna went up on the Ferris Wheel all by her self.  She went up with daddy the first time but then she wanted to do it again and she wanted to try by herself. So we said here are your tickets since the ride takes two tickets and let her go.  My babies are growing up way to fast.

Then on Sunday we got up and I  made breakfast and we went for a medium sized hike and saw alot of turtles.  boy were they out sunning themselves. We went to Barkhausen. I will have to look the link up for you there if you are interested in looking.  We are looking at having my graduation party out there. on September 28th.

I am almost done with school. I have one more quarter after this one. I am nervous. The school is also adding a mandatory class that we all have to take. its an advanced course to one of the first classes we took. We are trying to petition that we dont have to take it but it looks like we are going to have to take it anyway. but anyway i am fustrated with school in a way. one of my classes is online this quarter and the teacher isnt being very helpful. he keeps telling us to call the support hotline.  Then he has the audacity to tell us that we can write a 1200-1500 word document from the videos on the lab that we have to do but we cant access the labs??!! I don't get it.that is all that is getting to me this quarter. I have a few teachers that are vouching for me. I am working on an internship.  Just hoping they call back soon or Monday they are going to get another call from me.

I graduate Thursday, September 26, at about 7 PM. Anyone interested in coming just let me know. I know some of you live far away and its impossible but the graduation is September 26 but my party is Saturday September 28th.  Havent decided what exactly we are doing with it. I have a friend working on some cakes for me.  i wish i could have her do more sophisticated cakes but all she knows how to do is round cakes. I have found some shaped cake pans I would love to use but she doesnt know how to do them.  and I am not a cake decorator.

Jeff is working on something for himself too. he went on a field trip with his electronics class this last Tuesday and found a possible out of Pomp's Tire.  I will tell you all about it if something comes to light on the subject. the girls are both taking riding lessons now.  I do not have pix of there last lesson because my hubby for got my my camera at home.

Also talked to my doctor last Friday and she said if i can lose another 20-30 pounds and keep my blood sugars at about 100-130 we can take me off my meds in November when I have go back and see her. If for some reason they wont keep stable by then she might have to put me on another med. So I am trying my best on dieting and keeping away from anything I shouldnt be taking in like alot of soda, candy, and such.

Ok off to do some photo's for here and then I am going to go spend sometime with my family. Miss you guys terribly. N..

kora is old enough and tall enough to drive with brianna now.

bris first FerrisWheel ride by her self..

mini golfing. What a great day and way to end it.

the little train station that is in the Bay Beach Amusement park.

look at those turtles..  they were just sunning themselves.

Lets Guess WHO Today!!!

They were scanned in this morning so if they are too small to see i can hopefully adjust them but just guess who. Life is going ok here. I have today off and I have some stuff to do. But first of all I am going to lay down for a couple of hours and get some much needed rest. Hopefully I can sleep tonight if I do just this by laying down. but I am about ready to fall asleep at the desk.Have a wonderful Tuesday my friends.

Break Was TOO Short.

Hi all.I start my classes back up tonight. The break between quarters was way to short.  We were suppose to get a week off between but last week we had to go make up some lost time.  This quarter I have Professional Communications, Group Theory and Email and Web Services. But this last class they are doing online.  I am nervous about that one. But I will do fine. I struggled through Comp one online so I can do it again.

Jeff and I didnt do much this week. He had this last week off for vacation but with my work schedule we didnt do a thing really until yesterday. We went to our Wild Life Sanctuary and walked around and saw the animals. I got a good photo of the Wolf they have finally. She came right up to the fence.  She has never been that close to the fence before.

Jeff and I all dressed up on tuesday for no reason.

aww sisterly love.. 

me feeding the poor hungry duckies and geese.

take a close look at this one. You may miss them. they are my favorites at the Sanctuary.

Jeff being himself and letting me take photo's of him. Not usually a thing he does.

this is the baby that they just got back this last summer. he/she  has grown.  beautiful animal.

aww yes this one..  doesnt the bob cat look harmless up in that tree.

the wolf I have never gotten a good photo of until yesterday. 

I miss blogging so much. I miss all of you but it seems no one is blogging anymore. I have been on here since November of 2006 and it seems everyone of my friends have left but a few. Its hard to make new ones. I dont know who to talk to anymore with new friends.  Alot of you have went to Facebook instead of blogging. I have my FB account but I dont use it that often.  Anyway talk to you all soon.

Fun Stuff

Hey all. We have given Kora her riding lessons back.  We are working on things here to make life more bearable for all of us. I have a few photo's and a video of Koras riding lesson last Saturday. It wont let me upload my video. Dang it. its only two minutes long but its giving me troubles. I hate when blogger does that. Anyway here are the photo's. Hopefully they will have her riding outside where I can get better pix of her riding. they have a beautiful one named Sophie.  I didnt get a photo of her but I will try next time we go out there.

meet shocker. He likes to run his nose against the electric fence and shock himself.. silly horse.

doesnt she look like a natural sitting top of shocker.  she is doing well  even after her first lesson.
