Ba ha ha

SO, does anyone else think it is as funny as I do that I haven't posted in like a year?? Cause I think it is hilarious! A lot has changed in the last year, and it has been quite the ride. It went something like this......

February.... I applied to nursing school, fully expecting not to get in, because I don't even have a degree yet.
waiting...
waiting...
waiting...
waiting...
May comes, and I get a letter from one of the schools I applied for letting me know I didn't get in. Boo.
Get another letter from another school telling me that I was an alternate. Yay? Well, sort of... If no one flakes out before school starts, I don't get a spot. So I basically thought of it as I didn't get in....
A week later, I get a letter saying Just kidding, you have actually been accepted to the LPN program at OWATC. That was the point that the freak out began. I do not do well with change, at all. So of course, I was worried about all the things that could go wrong, or wouldn't work out, instead of being excited I got in. Needless to say, that was 9 months ago, and I will be a LPN in 3 months or so. I couldn't have done it without my mother-in-law, and my little sister Lindsey. They watch my sweet Gunner every week, without complaining. I feel so lucky to have them.
On another note, I am sure you all are tired of hearing my whining about infertility, but I am still dealing with it unfortunately. I haven't been to the doctor to get meds for it yet, but otherwise it isn't working, if you know what I mean. I have done pretty well this time around since I was pretty much expecting it. If I don't think about it, then I don't get angry and have uneasy feelings. I am thinking of trying essential oils, but I am skeptical of them. Oh well, we will see.

Kacey has been busy chugging away at work. He works SO much. He works 6 days a week three weeks out of the month, and has one Saturday off a month. And he never complains. I have told you before, he is the perfect man.

Preston started kindergarten in August, and I was SO worried we would have problems with him because he is more on the impulsive side, and he doesn't have a volume sensor in his body, so he yells constantly. However, he has done SO well! His teacher sends home notes saying how good he is in school, and he even got in the Principal's 200 club for his good behavior! I am one proud mama. Now, we just need to work on his behavior at home. (If I can figure out how :)

Gunner is getting SO big. He turned two years old in November, which I still can't believe. He is my sweet baby. He is saying tons of words and says whole sentences as well. I am so lucky to be their mom. :)

We weren't able to sell our townhouse last year, and when school started we took it off the market. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it in such immaculate condition, and couldn't expect my sister or mother-in-law to either. We will probably try again this summer. We have GOT to get a place with a yard for the boys.

Other than that, we are just living day-to-day, trying to survive these last few months of school. I am planning on going for my RN, if I don't get pregnant before August. So, I will probably be going for my RN :)
