The Goings-Ons...

I thought I'd throw an update out there =) I hope the cliffnotes don't bore you stiff...
WORK: I've planned the month of June (hard to believe it's almost over) for the 3 year olds and have been working my 40 hrs/week. It's been nice to have the slower pace of the summer and my co-workers have been so sweet to my pregger self. I am praying for God to do a big blessing as far as work goes. I've always dreamed of having my own pre-school class and am hoping for doors to be opened this coming school year. I've also gotten a few side orders for wedding flowers, so I feel like there's no room to breathe sometimes! Pray for our health and sanity =)

COLLEGE: (Background Info: I never finished my degree for many reasonable explanations and have been 2 classes short. I went to two of my old Professors and a few counselors and after auditing all of my classes, we found I had 7 classes that weren't being used towards anything and a few of them were comprable subsitutions for my 2 missing classes since the requirements have changed since I last attended SSC.) We filled out forms and have been waiting three months to see if the school board and the dean would pass them. After all this time, I got the final approval letter in the mail on Friday and need to go in to meet with a staff to apply for my official diploma! I will finally be a college graduate. Praise God!

I also enrolled in two online college classes (separate from my art degree) which will give me the equivilant of a CDA (a pre-school teaching certificate) and allow me to if/when a class opens, be able to teach! My first class is done and I got an A bringing my GPA up to a 4.0! (whoo-hoo) My second class will end July 29th, soon but close to my due date...(Aug 4th :But Isaac was a week early so we shall see...)

ISAAC: He loves fish so we hung up our old tank on the wall over his dresser in his room. (its long and narrow like a cool piece of moving art/picture--Hogwarts right Krissy?) I wanted him to have something special too (like paint, crib in the nursery..) We bought 4 fish, 3 shrimp (which he looked puzzled when we told him what they were b/c he loves to eat popcorn shrimp =) and a aquatic frog (which always stays underwater?!) ... Sadly, the number of fish is down to two...luckily, my son hasn't counted them yet...

MATT: Workin hard in this Florida HEAT (ugh) and being such a great support for me...always scolding me to put my feet up =) I am so proud and happy to have him. I love my husband.

BABY: Notice i'm still calling her baby at 34 weeks...we do not have a name yet but have been praying about it since we found out we were pregnant. She is moving and her kicks and turns are felt all over. I have felt a lot of lower pressure lately and Dr. said she is head down. She's measuring in the 51% and my hands and feet haven't swelled yet (still sporting my rings!) -knock on wood. We are looking forward to our baby shower on Saturday! B/C i've been so busy, this just doesn't feel real yet!? Well, I guess it feels real (pains and peeing and pressure, OH MY!) but its hard to understand what our new family dynamic will be. The nursery is painted but nothing is hung on the walls yet and we are missing a changing table/dresser. The theme is kind of a "Beaches and Cream" --a boardwalk ice cream parlor, feel. I will be so happy to complete it! I've been too tired to work on it recently. I lost my battery charger along with my mind but pictures are on my to do list.
