Good evening friends!

I hope you are all doing well. I will sure be glad when I get back on a regular schedule so that I can blog more. I miss all you gals!! I am still on nights for about another week and a half or so. The weather is great here...almost 90 degrees today! I love summer time! I am so tired of being cold and wet and I am looking forward to the warm weather!

We've had a busy week here with T-ball and baseball. The boys are sure loving it! Tanner's T-ball team has really turned out to be a great little team and he just looks so tiny out there on the field. I can't believe that he will be starting kindergarten this fall. He is really excited, but I have a feeling that I will probably cry...I did when Austin started!

Austin is doing great in ball too. His last day of school is tomorrow and he is really looking forward to it. I went to his award ceremony this morning after I got off work and he won two awards. One was the Writer's Excellence award and the other one was for Citizenship/Good Behavior all year. He missed getting an award for all A's and B's because he had one C early in the year...but, I am still very proud of him!

Well, I just got out of bed, so I better get off here and get some stuff done before I head off to work tonight. I hope you are all doing great. Have a fabulous weekend!! :)

Good Friday morning friends!

My hubby was offered a new job...and guess what...?!?!? It's a significant raise him!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!!!! We are so excited and feel so blessed. Someone is truly looking out for us. He is gone to Oklahoma City today to finalize the details and should be starting his new job next week. (just thought I'd share the good news with all my best, online, bloggin' buds!!!) Have a radiant day! :::hugs:::

Hello Friends!

My apologies for not blogging much lately. I hope I still have blog buds out there! This night shift is really starting to slow me down. I just don't know if my body is cut out for it. I sleep all day, go to the boys' games in the evening, come home and take a nap, and then head off to work at midnight. I feel as though I am sleeping all the time!! I really like the job, and I really don't mind working nights, but it's hard on my body you know?!?

I promise as soon as I get back to a regular schedule, I will get back to blogging like I used to. I sure do miss all of you! Well, it's about time for me to go to work, so I better close for now. Y'all have a great week! Here are a couple of pictures from my graduation...enjoy!

My sister and me

From my good friend Jade

From a great buddy...Tammy

Thank you!

You are all so sweet! I want to thank all of you for the wonderful tags left on my board and for the sweet gifts I got in my mailbox. It is so nice to have such wonderful friends that I've never even "met". Having so many online friends is absolutely wonderful. You are all so nice and kind to me.

Graduation went great!! I had such a wonderful time and my emotions were running high. I felt such a sense of accomplishment while I was sitting there listening to the Chancellor give his long-winded speech! There were 800 of us graduating, so it took quite a while to get us all up on stage and back to our seats. When I walked up on the stage to get my degree and shake everyone's hands, I couldn't help but smile and I wanted to cry I was so excited! I had quite the cheering section there too! It makes a girl proud to look out into the crowd and see so many people there supporting her! I owe my education to them all. They have supported me for the last 2 1/2 years on my journey to become an educated woman. They have all helped me study, kept the kids, listened to me complain, and lent a shoulder for me to cry on. What a blessed woman I am!

I am at my mom's now, and I am enjoying visiting with Granny, Mom, Dad, and my sister. It's been a good Mother's Day and I hope that you all had a wonderful one as well. Thank you for all the Mother's Day wishes. Again, you are all great! I am going to get back to visiting. Have a wonderful week!!!

Woo Hoo!!

I took my last final exam today and I am finished with school until August! I am so excited!! I will be graduating Saturday with my Associates and then I will take the summer off before I start working on my Bachelor's degree. This is going to be a much needed break for me! I've got a lot of family coming in for my graduation, so I am looking forward to seeing them!

I worked all night last night, and I have to go back in tonight at midnight. So...I am going to make this short and spend some time with hubby and get a nap. I hope you all had a great Thursday!

Good Tuesday morning to you!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I don't have much time to post because I have a lot of studying to do for finals. I got my car fixed from the wreck yesterday...I've been driving a rental car. I will be glad to get mine back! Anyway...got studying to do...have a super day!!!!! :o)

Here's my Tuesday This or That

1. TV or radio?
Radio

2. On the radio: talk or music station?
Music

3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)?
Actual books

4. Actual newspaper, or web version?
Actual newspaper

5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer?
Neither!

6. TV news...news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news?
Local news

7. A movie you've been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass?
See it anyway...you never know!

8. See movies when they first come out, or wait a few weeks for the lines at the theater to get shorter?
Wait for the lines to get shorter!

10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose...print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why?
I think I would choose electronic. I enjoy my time on the Internet, so I don't think I would want to do without it!

Good Sunday Evening!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I just worked my first two night shifts and I really enjoyed them! It's a nice change. It's rather quiet there at night, so I have had time to do some studying for my final exams. I am finished with classes for this semester and will be taking finals this week. I will be glad to get them out of the way! My graduation is this Saturday! WOO HOO!!! I can't wait!

Well, I better get off here...got some studying to do. I will try to write more later tonight. Have a great week!

Good afternoon everyone!

Everything is going great here! I am loving my new job, which is great! I will be working my very first midnight shift tonight...I have never worked a midnight shift in my life! I am actually looking forward to the change. It's nice to do something different every once in a while! I will only have to work midnights for a few weeks because one of the guys that I work with is going to be off with surgery.

The boys are both starting their Little League baseball tomorrow. Opening ceremonies begin at 9:00 a.m., Tanner plays at 11:30, and Austin plays at 2:15. They are both looking forward to it. I will be very tired tomorrow!

My car goes into the shop Monday morning to be fixed from the wreck I had a couple of weeks ago. I think once we get it fixed, we are going to get rid of it. We have had it for a while and I am ready for something new. I was thinking of getting an SUV of some sort...maybe a Chevy Trailblazer or a Tahoe. Something bigger would be nice, although I do like my Monte Carlo!

Well, I need to go visit all my blog buds, so I'm going to close for now. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
