School

Well, I went and took the placement tests at Big Bend Community College last Friday so I am one step closer to being a college student. I don't think I've blogged about this yet because I am afraid that it might fall through. I've considered college a couple times before and I tell everyone about it and then I feel like an idiot when I don't follow through. Well, this time I think it's going to happen. I have the support of my family and my husband and it's something I really need and want to do. I am super excited! I have been wanting to be a nurse for about a year now. That's the longest I've ever been decided on one career so that is an accomplishment in itself. Big Bend has a great nursing program. I have a lot of prerequisites to take first so it is going to be a long road but I am still young and I know I can do it! So, everyone give me a round of applause for making the decision six years after graduating! It bums me out to think if I had gone right after HS I would be done already...but...then I might not have Aubrey and that wouldn't be right!
Speaking of Aubrey, here are so awesome pictures of her this last week:

Aubrey is 7 weeks

These are just some random pictures from the last month. I haven't posted for a while...Stacy has made me aware that I am overdue for a blog. :) I know I am but dang where do you find the time? So, here's some newer pictures...the one where Aubrey is wearing brown with polka dots is from when she was 4 weeks old...most of the other ones are more recent. The one where she's in the car seat, we were on our way to Kenny's parents house. They live about 3 1/2 hours away, in Arlington, WA. Aubrey was so good all the way there and all the way back. I am finding that she really doesn't cry all that much. Mostly, just when she needs something. I still get a little aprehensive about taking her places by myself but it's getting better. She really is a great baby! I am enjoying getting to know her everyday more and more. She is sleeping through the night except requiring a feeding usually around 3 or 4 a.m. and she usually goes right back down after I change and feed her. So, my sleep isn't suffering too badly. As you can see, Kenny helps out quite a bit. It's funny, we both have our own techniques for getting her to settle down. He extends his arms and bounces her up and down. I would die after about 5 seconds of that. She loves it though! He is really good with her. I think he enjoys her more and more as he can actually interact with her. She is starting to make cooing sounds. So sweet! Well, that's all for now! Tata!
