So many updates, so little time!

Let me try and catch you guys up on the last few weeks.  June 10, 11, 12 was the Member-Guest Golf Tournament at Coosa Country Club.  We were the guests of Brad and Tiffany Smith, friends of JT and myself.  The weekend was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with my girls Tiff, Joanna, Holly, Anne, and Alison. Plus, it gave JT and me some much needed QT and a chance to get dressed up and socialize together. 

Most of you know that my husband and I were completely different schedules. He goes to school all day and works at night. I work all day and go to school at night. So it is rare that we get to spend weekends together.

Onto school. I am in my final class of my Masters degree and am working on my exit thesis. I submitted my 45 p draft last night to my committee and am waiting to get feedback. The 2nd draft and revisions are due July 6. I am on my way to being a Master. Funny, every time I say that, I think of Master P's song Make em Say Ughhhhh!

I did not get into the the DPA program at Valdosta but now I am applying for the Educational Specialist in Higher Education Administration at Georgia Southern. It is an online program too. We'll see what happens.

We are also moving right now, we have painted our bedroom, bathroom, and Ashtyn's bedroom. We have cleaned, and tonight we are going to start to put the decorative touches on. We are moving the big stuff Saturday.

All of these changes are overwhelming but exciting and remarkably I am composing myself and remaining fairly stress-free!

The final update is that Father's Day was the anniversary of the last dinner that my family had with my granddaddy last year. It is the time when the doctor's told us that treatment wasn't working and everyone made the decision to stop treatment. Who knew that by stopping chemo and radiation the cancer would have taken over and he passed away three weeks later. And although, I haven't really let myself think about it. It is like my body knows, my heart knows, my soul knows, and my psyche knows that the anniversary is coming up. He is in my dreams constantly. I miss him every day. The responsibility of taking care of my grandmother is a huge one that we have divided among family members. But it is still hard. Enough said, I am tearing up.

Point being keep me in your thoughts and prayers as the next few weeks go by, we have a lot of transitions to get through, and I am not good with change. So far it has been seamless, but I am anticipating the great break down! haha!

a new ride and a new roof

Our new car made it to its new home last night. It is so weird! I have never bought a car before. And it gives me an odd sense of anxiety, apprehension, and excitment. Next step, packing boxes and getting a storage unit. I have already taken all of the curtains and things off the walls down. It's sad. 212 Leland was our first home together as a married couple, it was Carolina's first home, but I know that this is the right decision! Tomorrow I am off so I am going to grab some boxes and start to packing. The good thing, we jsut have to move over a couple of streets.

In other updates, I have to put procrastination to an end and start on my exit paper's rough draft. It is a must! Maybe I'll do that this weekend too. In the mean time, I hope to catch some sunshine as well, I am in desperate need of a tan and come to think of it, a hair cut too! Anywhoodle, enough rambling for me this morning!

Eventful Weekend

Good Morning All. Well this weekend has been slightly eventful to say the least. First of all, JT's Tahoe is on its last leg. Like it only cranks when it wants to. So in an executive decision to be able to afford a car, we have decided to move to the small house behind his grandmother's (GiGi). Our lease was up yesterday, so we are going to sign month to month until we can get everything moved out, cleaned, and moved in. There are pro's and con's to this decision. Some of the major pro's is that we can save money. I have credit card debt from college, and with a car payment, this will give us a chance to get some things paid off. I am grateful for that. Another plus is a fenced in back yard! The downside, no kitchen. If you know me, you know that I LOVE to cook. But this gives me another reason to get creative with things! I have my crockpot, George Foreman, Toaster Oven, now all I need stove burner type thing.
Also this weekend I renewed my library card. I figured why buy books when you can borrow. I am interested in the Emily Giffin series, but the library only had "Love The One You're With" and "Baby Proof" on the shelf. So I got both, as well as "One 5th Ave" by Candace Bushnell. So these three are the beginning of my summer reading list. I also want to read Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat Pray Love" before the movie comes out this summer. I saw the previews during SATC2 and was excited because I feel like Julia Roberts needs a good movie. How lucky is Miss Gilbert? I think every American woman dreams of being played by Miss Julia in a film adaptation of our lives!

Now onto SATC2, which will be a whole seperate blog itself, I was extremely disappointed! I will provide you guys a complete analysis when I have time but because I love the brand, I appreciate the movie, but I was let down comepletely by Darren Star and SJP as writers. Anyhoodle... much to catch up on at work. In the mean time, what are you all reading this summer?
