I graduated from college!! YAY - after 5 years!! It was such a roller coaster but I'm so grateful I finished! I started out as a nursing major and did one year of generals then one year of nursing pre-requisites. I had been battling with my decision, if nursing was really for me or not. The summer Brennen and I got enganged I knew I needed to change my major because I wasn't happy with what I was doing and would be doing for the rest of my life. So, I changed it to Elementary Education. I'm SOOOO GrAteFuL I changed my major. I love elementary and it will not only help with my career but in everyday life. I know nursing would do the same, but it was so not for me. Gag. There is not a day that goes by that I regret that decision! I'm grateful there are people that can be nurses because my nerves and stomach can't support that career! So, I commuted the last 3 years - 1 year, prego, 1 year with a newborn and one year with a 1yr. old.... and I'm finally finished!! YAY no more tests, 30 page papers, and no more 45 minute commutes everyday!
Brennen has been busy umping and playing baseball/softball. He has been playing in a league in Milford but is getting ready to start the mens and coed leagues up here! YAY for summer!
I started managing our families DQ. I was a little hesitant at first..after all I've worked there since I was 14 so I knew what it was all about..or so I thought. But it has been really good. With the economy the way it is and jobs..I'm so grateful to have a good job right out of school!
Dav finally got eartubes! After 5 or 6 antibiotics in the last 2 months...it was time! He did pretty well with them. He was crying when they took him and I warned the doctors he was pretty tough and it was going to be quite the task to get him out. They laughed and acted like no big deal. When he came in after the surgery, he said, "Well you weren't kidding he was tough! Probably the toughest one I've had to get out in a long time. He is really strong." Then once they had given him the normal dosage and thought he was out, they started to do the procedure and his legs started kicking up and down. They had to stop and give him more so he would stay out! I was so glad Brennen was there because he didn't want a thing to do with me! All he really wanted...Grandma and Grandpa Orton's dog, Sandy. Seriously, he kept crying for Sandy! He has done really well with the tubes and I sure hope they continue to work!
Last but not least...we're trying to get things ready so we can build a house! It has already been stressful getting the loan application and floor plans all figured out! We're not exactly sure when we'll be starting but hopefully soon (like next month or July)!
I hope everyone is enjoying this CraZy BusY time of year! We are so excited for summer to be here! Dav turns 2 next week, sad. I'll try and post an update about him. He is keeping us on our toes for sure!
