Done with the challenge!

Finally. I've been putting off the last few posts lately, but I'm finally done. :)


So I have so much I want to talk about in here. For one, I have made a big decision for my life in this last week. I decided that I am going to pursue my bachelor's degree in nursing. I of course will have to finish my associates. But once I get that done i will start working on my bachelor's. I am so excited. I have never known anyone to ever be as excited about school as I am. I love being back in school and I love planning my future semesters and how I will work things out. I LOVE IT! :) Oh and also I am pretty much all set up for next semester back in Florida. Everything is in and registration starts this week so I can actually start signing up for my classes to. And the last step will just be to finish this semester with all A's and not to forget my transcript once it's time to leave.

Things are going well in the financial department as well. We have about $3000 in savings now. Which is awesome for only starting 2 months ago. I can't wait for income tax. Hopefully that will be another $6000 like we got this year and I will also be getting financial aid again. We won't have all of what we are saving up when we get back because December is going to be one of the most expensive months for us. So it is definitely a good thing we are saving. :) First of all, it's Christmas! I already started writing down what I should get for everyone, and I want to start slowly buying things now, that way I am not swamped with buying all these gifts at the last minute. Also, it is Joey's birthday. So I will kind of be combining his bday with Christmas but not really. Maybe like that week before or after but I will only buy him the birthday gifts and those will be for bday and xmas. He won't remember! And then that will be when Mark is coming back from deployment. So at the beginning of the semester I will be flying out to see him for homecoming, which will be a roundtrip ticket so I can come back here. Then on the 22nd his leave starts so he will fly here that day. And then about a week and a half later or so it will be time to DRIVE back to Florida for good. I can't wait!


I am also excited about something else. Well Mark's cousin Carrie is pregnant with her first baby. She is only 19 and her boyfriend is being a douche and has been good and been there this whole pregnancy and today she just told me he hasn't called or seen her in 2 weeks. So she changed her number and doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. She only has about a month and a half left or so. Well a few weeks back me and Mark were talking about them and we both agreed that we would love for her to come live with us. But we definitely didn't think she would want to. I had planned to talk to her about it when I felt was a good time, but I wasn't counting on it. I didn't think she'd want to leave and go so far away and be away from Martin even if they weren't together. Well when I found out about him not talking to her I told her about this and she actually said she was thinking about the same thing and has wanted to ask us about it at some point. That made me so happy! I can't even explain. I love Carrie so much and she deserves so much better than that guy and also deserves better than having to live with her parents because they are really not that great to her. I don't feel that their house would be the best environment for her and her new baby. So I am hoping that this plan stays in place and she really decides to leave with us when we do. Because we were both serious about it, we just didn't think she would be up for leaving. So hopefully it all works out and again I can't wait for this either. :)


OK well that is all for my night of babbling. "What are you babbling about?" I haven't made a REAL post in almost 2 months so it was about time. Goodnight.
