Make Me Smile

“I’m so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you’re near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile.”

Well, what can I say.  I am really happy right now with things in my life.  Rob is great, he makes me so happy and I am undeniably lucky to have him in my life.  We spend most of our time together, but we still have time to do our own thing too.  Time with him flys by but stands still at the same time.  I enjoy every moment that I get to spend with him.  Playing golf, watching movies, cooking, listening to music and whatever it is that we’re doing.  I could sit in an empty room with him and have the best time ever. 

The family is doing pretty good these days. 
Kayla is finishing up her last couple months as a Junior in high school.  This time next year we’ll be getting ready for her Prom and Graduation! 
Chase is finishing up middle school this year and he’ll be heading off to high school as a Freshman.  I know his time there is going to fly by just like Kayla’s has! 
Tilli is finishing up elementary school and will be starting middle school! 
Maeve has no big milestone grade this year, though.  They are starting to make me feel really old! 
Ruby will be starting Kindergarten this year!  Now THAT makes me feel old. 
But I am so happy to see my nieces and nephew doing so well in school.  I can’t wait to see how their lives turn out! 
Mom and dad just celebrated their 30 year anniversary on March 31st, so we (the kids, grandkids and Rob) surpised them by taking them bowling and dinner at Chris and Chrisi’s house.   They were really surprised and without fail mom cried and dad was clueless as to what what happening.   It was a sucessful day and we were really happy to help them celebrate this milestone. 
Chris and Sharon celebrated their 16th anniversary on April 3rd. 
Another really exciting thing to happen – Chrisi finished up with chemotherapy!  She had a visit with the doctor and she told Chrisi that she doesn’t need to come back for two months!  Now she is on to have one of her surgeries at the end of May and hopefully her last one in June! 

So, some pretty exciting things taking place and going smooth for now on the homefront. 

School.  Oh the never ending story that is my educational career!  Will it EVER end?  Here’s the deal:  in 4 short weeks (May 7th) I will be finito with my Associates Degree in Applied Science – Social Sciences.  However, I am looking into doing a program through Tidewater Community College (TCC) that will allow me to take classes provided by the University of Virginia.  Basically I will be going to U.Va through TCC.  But, I have to take a few (5 to be exact) more classes to make me eligable for the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program.  In otherwords – SO LONG SUMMER!  I am looking at taking 2-3 classes this semester (summer) and then the remainder in the fall so that I can begin the BIS program in the Spring of 2010.  I guess the light is at the end of the tunnel and even though I am almost through the light of my Associates, I still have more classes to take and at least 3 years of the BIS program.  But I know it will all be worth it in the long run.  As least I hope it will!

Well, other than that, there’s not a whole lot going on.  Just trying to make it through this semester and hoping to be able to enjoy this summer as much as possible!
