ya ya ya

okay, so yes, i am a HORRID blogger, who's surprised!! but this is for stacie and scottie and amy and anyone else who has commented on me being a slacker!!!! i really am sorry, i didn't think that anyone gave a crap about the things that i said on my blog! i figured if you wanted to know, you would call or email!! but since i did get calls AND emails saying UPDATE YOUR BLOG, i decided to do it!
so here is the latest on me and my lil family.....
skyler left us at the first of march to help a friend with some sales in texas, since he is the greatest salesman since sliced bread... and was suppose to come home the first of july. but seeing as he is doing well, he has decided to stay through the end of the summer, at least! so, z and i are here, without him... yes, feel bad for us. we get to see him about once a month or so, which is always pretty fabulous until we have to part from each other again and well, those moments are pretty much HORRID!!! but i suppose it could be way worse, he could be fighting for our country and be gone for much longer, with much more excruciating lapses in between visits!! ill count my blessing for that.
i am doing pretty good myself. i FINALLY finished my bachelors degree, which i will continue to shout out over the roof tops until something more remarkable happens. but yes, it is true, it only took me ELEVEN years from start to finish! and 3 different schools, but i guess that is just how i get things done!! i am hoping to start some kind of grad school in the near-ish future. i have just decided that i LOVE psychology and i need that to be a part of my life. whether it be in clinical social work or clinical psych, either way, i guess clinical is my thing. i just hope that it doesn't take another 11 years to get there.
on a separate me note i have been doing something recently that i absolutely love. and i have been keeping it quiet for sometime, but i have decided that i am such an advocate of this process that i need to share it with people. i have become an egg donor and have been helping couples who want to have babies, become families and parents. and it is the most beautiful process. if you are interested in more info on it, please please talk to me about it!! it really is one of the most incredible experiences!! and because of my most recent donation, i was able to take my family to so-cal, which was AWESOME...
we did disney and sea world and the zoo and the beach and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! who knew that the terrible twos could also be such a fabulous time!! z was just wide-eyed and thrilled the entire 10 days!!! it was SO much fun.
ummm, what else.... we've had a couple weddings and a couple buns in the oven in our families, which is exciting. (im especially excited that there is no bun in my oven... WAHOO!!! i thought that the baby-hungry thing was suppose to kick in by now... no signs of loving that baby stuff again, yet!)
i am ever so anxious to get my own house that i have started going through houses around here, even though skyler is gone AND there is pretty much no way we could get into one right now. but i suppose i am just being blissfully delusional. bummer.
and well.... i think that is pretty much it...
i hope that this was fill enough for all of you!!!
lots of love!!!
