Well, we certainly did have a busy week! As I mentioned before, Caryl and I graduated on saturday. Caryl was pinned on Friday, we went camping this past weekend, and then had a memorial day/birthday party for Caryl's grandpa on sunday. I'm posting a new slideshow with some pics from the past week.
I have a friend who is getting married this weekend, and a bachelor party on wednesday, plus I went back to work yesterday, so my schedule doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Although, I can't complain about going back to work. Since Monday was a holiday, I made double time and a half. Nothing like a cool $280 for a days work! So I was pretty happy all day.
well thats all on my end, I'm gonna go check in on everybody else now. I'll post again soon!

look out Webster, here I come!
At last! I have finally completed my Associate of Arts degree at St. Charles Community College. Caryl and I both graduated on Saturday, and we are finally done! Caryl has completed her Nursing degree and after completing boards next month she will offically be a RN! I'm so proud of her. The program was stressful, tedious, and an emotional roller coaster. Filled with frustration, tears, many late nights and early mornings, Caryl tackled the tremendous task with a vengence. She is such a strong willed woman. When she sets her mind on a task there is no stoping her.
I completed my Associates in Business Admin after only 10 years at a 2 yr school. I think this last semester was the hardest, tho. I had lost all motivation midway through and hoped I would pass by the skin of my teeth. I was able to get 2 B's and 1 C, so I was pretty happy about that. I'll start at Webster in the Fall where I'll major in Management with an Emphasis in Human Resource Management. I should secure my bachelor's degree within 2 years. At that point I'll reassess my situation and decide if I want Verizon to pay for my Master's degree, too.
For our graduation presents, Caryl and I took the money we were given and bought each other some gifts. Caryl got a green amathyst (sp?) ring, and I got 2 tickets to a cardinals game and a new cardinal jersey. Both things we really wanted, but could never justify the expense until we had some disposable income available.
I ran into Ian and Katie at the ball game. They were both suprised to see me. It was a breif encounter, but it sure was nice seeing them again. It's been a while.
Now I think this is my longest blog in a dogs age, so I'll finish up now I guess. Hope every one is having a wonderful week! TTFN!

What twice in 1 month?
Thats right, I'm blogging again! School is winding down, I've got finals next week, then I graduate next saturday. Woohoo! Caryl is graduating next week, too. She'll have her RN degree, and I'll have an Associates in Business Admin. Finally done! Well until I start at Webster in the fall any ways :)
So, I was wondering, does anybody actually read these blogs? I know Jen is following my blog, but I didn't know if anybody else reads anything I write. I know I'm not the best blogger, but it is nice to know someone checks in on me from time to time.
Sophie, Dex, and I went for a long walk today. Soph is getting so big, we walk from our house to the mail box, which is about a 3/4 of a mile down the road. She walked the whole thing! I had Dex in a baby back pack. It was fun just spending time outside with my kids. We've been couped up all winter and really enjoyed going outside. Soph found a morelle (SP?) mushroom. Caryl has been hunting them ever since she discovered a patch near the house. Soph liked picking flowers and leaves along the way, but I think her favorite part was splashing in every single puddle.
Well thats it on my end. Let me know whats up with you all. Even though I don't post regularly, I do check in on everybody else. Later gators!
