January - June 2008

Okay update so far this year. I got a new job at the University. I work with online degree programs now. It has been wonderful so far. We are at the development stages of it so i'm in the trenches with getting things up and running. The best thing about the job is the students. I teach a one credit class that is mandatory for the program and I get to know all of the students that participate in the online degree. They are just sooo grateful for the chance to finish their degree. Many are stay at home moms that quit school to raise their babies and have moved for the husband's career. They just have great spirits and determination and it is so rewarding to be apart of this new venture. About 2 weeks after I started the job, my mom and my sister in law Julie all took a week off from work and went to New York for a girls weekend. It was a blast! It was non-stop activities each day. We would go sightseeing during the day, and then at night we would go and watch a Broadway show. We saw Jersey Boys, Wicked and Phantom. We went to Brooklyn, Jersey, and all over Manhattan. It was too much fun. Oh we even went to a Yankees Met's game. What an experience! The fans were sooo entertaining.

The most exciting news I have to share this year is that when I got home from New York I found out that I am pregnant! I'm still in shock by it and can hardly believe that it has finally happened. Tahri and I will be having our little addition in January. It seems so far away, but hopefully the time will go by fast. I've been miserable the last couple of weeks, but things are starting to get better. I think the best part of it is that my two sister in laws Lanayia and Kira are also expecting. Lanayia will have her baby in October, and then I'll have mine in January and we think Kira will have hers a couple weeks after me. So it is sooo fun being pregnant together. They are probably so sick of me because I panic about every little thing. :) But they never show it, they are sooo good to me.
