Our new addition

We are so excited to announce the arrival of .......

OREO

Everyone is very excited to have such a cute little guy join our family. He is just so precious and we all love him tons already!.

and I think he is getting use to all of us as well

Happy Birthday to ME! I have been telling the kids and James for about 6 months now that I wanted a puppy and "teasing" them when they asked me what I wanted for Christmas, Valentines day, and my birthday. I didnt actually think it would happen. James surprised me last night and I couldnt be happier with his choice of puppies. This is the exact one I have always wanted. Thank you so much. So far, I am sleep deprived from being woken up by cute little puppy squeaks every 2 hours last night and keeping Jameson away from him is proving to be a chore in and of itself, but he is just so CUTE that it is all worth it. So, welcome to the newest member of our family! Oreo, we are glad to have you with us, I hope you can survive the love and affection that will be thrown at you by 6 very excited kids.

Rejection

It is a hard thing. I try to stay upbeat and happy, but it still hurts! Unfortunately, I did not get accepted into the nursing program this time around. I am saddened and my heart hurts a bit, but I will survive this. I can reapply in September/October, which gives me time to retake a few classes and get better grades. This will only bring my GPA up and make me look that much better on paper so maybe next time they will give me a chance. We will see, I will keep you updated. For now, I must concentrate on my current workload and keep on swimming.
