Lucky # 13

I'm lucky enough to be an Aunt for the 13th time this year!! My younger sister is expecting her first child and will find out in a few weeks the sex of the baby. It's really exciting, and disappointing at the same time. I guess I was always somewhat jealous that my older brother was able to do so many things first, and now, even my lil sis is passing me in motherhood. I really wish that she had waited 5+ more years before having her 1st child, not because I haven't had any children yet, but because she is so young. I don't know that she fully understands that her life will NEVER be the same. She will give up so much of her own life and experiences because of her little one coming. That may sound selfish, but I'm so glad that I haven't had children of my own yet. I'm glad that I have been able to travel a little and do some of the things that will be restricted once parenthood comes along.

Been a while

It's been a while since I have been here and posted a blog, so long in fact that I had to request both my username and my password. HA. I'm going to try to come here more often, even when I don't have something really great to say.

I have plenty of stress on me now, and I'm trying so hard to not allow it to consume me. So much is going on with school and jobs, and then my mother graduates in May and I need to find the perfect graduation gift for her. She has done so well in school and currently has a 4.0 GPA, I am so proud of her. I have no idea what she will be doing after school, but I'm sure it'll be something fun. I know she is going to Greece for a trip, and I know she'll have fun and bring back some amazing photographs.

I am working my way through the end of the Spring semester, and then will have 29 credits to go. I'm really glad that I will finally be a senior at the end of this semester and see an end in sight. I do plan to complete 8 more classes (5 Major courses, & 3 phys ed) by the end of this year and then will have only 9 credits to go. It's so amazing, and stressful at the same time.

I guess I need to work on only stressing about the current moment and allow the next classes to consume me only when they absolutely have too!

Write more later.
