Update

Well, I know its been almost a month since I have been on here. Its been busy and I just keep forgetting I have this on here.

Basically in the past month, Andrew has been fired from BCBS. He is still currently unemployed but has applied at a few place. He filed for unemployment and I believe we can start requesting as of July 1st. He wants a job badly and we still haven't heard word back from the Correctional Officer. I just hope it is soon.

I am getting tired of BCBS. I have been there for 6 1/2 years and not sure if I can make it to 7. I am still there because I am now the only one bringing in a decent paycheck to pay things. I did get my tuition reimbursement on this last check so I caught us up on different bills that were past due and paid for some extra stuff to prepare us. I am afraid for the month of July and what that has in store for us.

I have been looking at different jobs. My friend Denise and I are thinking about appling for Huntsville Police Dept and maybe as Juvenille Correctional Officers. Either way, it is away from the desk and we are doing something different daily. I am trying to get into shape because if I decide neither of these work for me, I will try the military. I have till December 2010 to be able to join enlisted, otherwise I will have to wait till I obtain my Bachelor's degree and join in as officer.

I have also started my last term at Kaplan. Well, not really my last term but it is the last term in order to receive my Associate's degree in Interdisiplinary Studies. I do have to be able to pass Bioethics and right now that is a tough class even though we are near the end of week 2. I am thinking about obtaining a degree in Psychology once I get my Associates but I will update you all on that later.

I have also volunteer my Wednesday and Friday mornings for Rising Sun Ranch. Diana's view is to provide therapy to children and at the same will provide therapy to the horses. I love the horses and it is actually fun. Yes, being in Texas I might work in the sun but I actually do not mind it at all.

I am thinking about also calling the American Red Cross and volunteer with them as well. I was thinking about trying to be an Exchange Student Coordinator but still reading up on that. I think that will be fun and be able to share our cultures as well as learn another. As you can see, I am volunteering more but it is to be able to provide something for my community.

Well, I have to survive work just this week because on Saturday I'll be travelling to New Hampshire to pick up my sister-in-law and move her here to stay with my husband and I while my brother is deployed. I hope we can get her out of her shell and have her socialize more and be more open with others. Not saying she is totally shy but she can be. This will be her first time on her own and we hope to provide her knowledge to learn as she adjusts to being a military wife. My mother and I leave out Saturday and hopefully will return in 5 days but it will be our own mini vacation so I can't wait.

Well, that should be enough updates for now. I'll try to keep up on this more than before.
