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!

  1. Good luck, Crystal! I am horrible with change too, so I know exactly how you feel. I also spend a lot of time taking care of my grandma, and I know how difficult and wonderful it is at the same time. She is so lucky to have you!
