So Crazy Busy

     Well, what do I say, life has been extremely busy lately.  I will assure you that I am so tired that this blog will surely have many grammatical errors and typos.  Now...to the updates.
     First off, I finished the first summer semester at JU with a 4.0.  I only took one class, philosophy, and I found it enjoyable.  I was even offered a job by my professor which I had to decline because of classes.  I would love to take the job in  year when I am down to one year of school left and I would need a job at JU to get free classes my senior year.  But, I am covered for this year with the employee benefits that Huck gets by working at JU.
     I just finished my second week of Math 104, College Algebra and Spanish Essay Writing.  So far I have a 98 in the class (from homework and quizzes) , but I took my first 'test' today, and it hasn't been graded yet.  I don't think I did bad on my test, it didn't seem too hard and I wasn't stressed while taking it.  So, fingers crossed!  I don't know how I am doing in Spanish, good I guess.
     We have made some life altering decisions lately...we are wanting to try to adopt our nephew.  He is currently in foster care, and the first step would just be placement, followed by adoption.  We have finally gotten to the step where we can pick him up and spend time with him.  I hope that changes soon, because I can see he really needs a stable home.  The poor guy hasn't had it easy.   We are praying that we can make a difference.  But, we aren't disillusioned...we know it will be hard.  He will have to get used to us and vice versa.  We have cleared a room for him, I just need to touch up paint and get a smaller bed.  We currently have a king sized bed in there, but it's too big for the room, so we are looking for a smaller one. 
     Finally, after a year, we painted dad's old bedroom and Christian moved into it.  He wanted it because it was the bigger room.  We painted it a nice light gray.  We are going to put up black curtains and maybe a black bookshelf in there.  Christian has a tan desk that I would love to put a black finish or mod podge some cool black paper too.  I'll see if I have the time to take on that kind of project.
     I have recently been hurt by a family member, it's probably my fault, because I try to offer 'unwanted' advice.  I am a very observant person, and I can surmise things that are highly likely to happen.  It has happened before.  I hate watching something go down, and knowing how it will turn out and there is nothing I can do about it.  Well, I tried to have a conversation with this person about my concerns and was treated very rudely and dismissed.  I've been here before, and now I am trying to fix the aftermath of the train wreck I knew I was witnessing before.  I hate to say this...but some people have told me..."You can't fix stupid".  I hate to think that this is the case.
     I guess I needed to vent about that.  It's been bothering me.  I was hurt that my worries weren't even considered.  I have learned my lesson, I will not say another word, this person will not here any opinions or advice from me.
     So, overall, things are great.  I have the best kids in the world, the best husband.  School is going well.  I am so tired right now, and couldn't sleep without getting this off my chest...at least to the few who might read this.  LOL 
     Well, I'm done for now.  I hope to be posting some good news soon.
