I am still here!

Long time and a lot of things have changed / happened. Hope you all had a blessed Christmas and New Years. We did.
First things first. I am not going to South Africa. After what I thought was a close personal sponsor promised and then waited 2 weeks (until the day before it had to be done) to cancel, they completely screwed me out of any chance of going. So I am going to work very hard and hopefully as a graduation present to myself in 3 years get to go. I will never be nominated again so hopefully my grades will be stellar enough for them to accept my enrollment. Bitter --- maybe just a little.
I am back in school now and am doing ok. Physiology is rough but the writing class I am in is helping to take the edge off. I am going to try to be published this semester in a popular magazine so if that happens I will let you all know, and send you copies.
The tweedles are doing great and getting bigger all the time. We are trying to home school both of them until the Bronco has his surgery and I have mine this summer. We will then get them into school. I am hoping to be able to enroll them both in a private school in our town that I heard is the best around.
This past weekend we had our family pics done with my dad and they turned out great. If you want to see them email me and I will send you a link. We had them done at Target so they will be available on that website in 7-10 days.
I promise to try to keep this more up to date from here on out. I have a lot of homework so it’s been hard. Stay well and keep smiling! (that’s the motto for this semester)
