Plans for the Summer

Since the beginning of this year it has felt like more things are settling into place and it is so exciting. I have made some plans for this summer and I hope they all work out. Unfortunately my Great Grandmother is not doing so well so I have decided that this will be the year we visit, no matter what. I have saved a little cash and will be able to give Julian a great party as well as go on a little road trip.

Some minor details that might get in the way is the fact that both Julian and I will be attending summer school and will have to find a way to fit in a little getaway. I'm excited to be on this path with the end nearing to a new beginning.

I have very high hopes to be where I want to be very soon. Plans are coming into place for the very first time, which makes me a bit hesitant. I am not saying it has been easy or that the stress is not over bearing but I wish it could just lighten up a bit. This year has brought my 25th birthday already and my siblings' birthdays and soon  my son's. It is all overwhelming and I hope I continue to have the strength to continue what I started. I know I start to crumble when there are people who do not comply with the parenting mode and ignore the responsibility it requires, but intend to fix that situation one way or another. How do you make someone believe that they need to take care of a life other than their own?

Life Happens

So it has been almost a year since  have posted anything and there is a good reason. Mostly school has kept me busy as well as the little monkey boy. I still have the same problems and they seem to accumulate but I am pushing forward. On to the new things:

I have joined an international honors society for 2 year colleges called Phi Theta Kappa. I am so excited to be part of such a great group and have been an active member. So active in fact that I just submitted my application to be the new Vice President next semester. Crazy right? I barely have time for myself and I am piling on the responsibilities.

Next as you guys should know that July is quickly approaching where Julian will be 5 years old! I am truly amazed at how fast he has grown and where he is in his development. More news about him is that since he will be the big 5 he will be attending Kindergarten next year and will be in a general education class with an assistant. He also received a digital voice output device to help him communicate (so exciting) and will have it for the rest of this year and for all of his Kindergarten year.

Finally, drum roll please.. I'm glad to announce that I will have my associates degree by the end of Spring 2014!!! Wahooo! Graduating in a year has really put everything into perspective and now that little man will be in school full time hopefully I can be too!

I'm not crossing my fingers for an easy time because I know that would never happen but I am for sure glad that my life is getting somewhere.. What next? Probably Disney for Julian when I graduate!
