My grandparents and Aunt Carla came in town this weekend! Well technically they went to Georgetown for the weekend and then Dallas until yesterday. They were in town for Amanda's senior weekend! It really meant a lot to us that they came down (my Papa is a little on the cheap side) and that we were able to spend some time with them. It's a little sad to be around them now because my Meme is not doing well, she has dementia and it's getting worse. But it's still great to see her. :-) Amanda had a GREAT senior weekend! They won their last two soccer games (her last two soccer games ever! oh my!) ANNNDD in the last game Amanda scored the winning goal! Here are some photos of the weekend:
Also, the weekend before was Halloween! I had a great time in College Station hanging out with my love! He was a doctor zombie and I was a madhatter (aka slutty costume).
Due to my life being in limbo right now I have been floating around options for my life in my head. I am going to apply for grad school for the fall for speech-language pathology. I really like the program and it gives me several options instead of just working in school districts. One option I really like is working with people who have had strokes. I could help them learn how to talk again! All I know is that I want to help people. I have always wanted to do that. I feel like in this job I can help many people from different ages and walks of life. I like that idea. I am applying to TWU, UTD and UNT. TWU is a three year program and the other two are two years. I would obviously like to do the two year programs, but either way I have to go where I get in right? It will take me an extra semester or year (included in the time I already stated) because I don't have a speech-language pathology undergrad. Oh well, you do what you have to do to get to what makes you happy right? Well that is my main plan right now. I am taking the GRE in January so I will be studying for that until then.
As a whole I am doing alright, some days are harder than others. When I decided I wanted to be a teacher over six years ago this is not where I thought I would be my first year of teaching. I miss my kids. Some family stressers aren't really helping either. Not my mom though, she's doing great! Her levels are down! She was 1400 this summer and it's down to 520! We need to be at 0 to be cancer free, but it's much better to be going down than up! :-)
I think that's all for now, I need to start studying for the GRE. I hope you are doing well and I love each of you! :-)
