Catching up...

(Insert huffing and puffing here) Man it just feels like sometimes life never stops! A brief recap, we had a wonderful albeit busy weekend. Friday night we let the kiddos hang here with their much adored cousins and bestest babysitter in the world (well at least in Ohio :) ) and we braved Fright Night at Kings Island with the sister and brother-in-law. We had a blast even if we didn't get to ride Diamondback, touted the world's best coaster but I think Sheikra at Busch Gardens, Tampa could give it a run for it's money, anyways I digress. We had a blast, it was fun to have an adults night out. Saturday we had a wonderful family morning, then Daddy headed off to the church to work for a few hours prepping for Sunday. Then the moment the kids had been waiting all year for, or at least Sweet Pea had since I let her try on her costume and she didn't want to take it off...TRICK-OR-TREATING! (Pics to come I promise, as soon as this ride slows down!) The kids all made out like a bandit as usual and my waist line is not digging all the extra candy in the house despite my insane efforts to bump up the workouts. Then Sunday, the service went beautifully and we had quite a few visitors on our second official service. Again I will reiterate that even though it's been a lot of hard-work, getting to be part of a start-up church has been so rewarding! Sunday night we were off to the pastor's parents place for a big bonfire. It's nice to start to get to know people here, it makes me miss home just a little less. Oh and thanks Mom for letting me know it was in the 30's back home, that makes me miss it even less! lol

I'm happy to say classes for school are done for another six weeks as of Thursday thankfully, I need the break. I'm still struggling with what to do with my schooling. Those who know me well know how much I LOVE medical stuff and how much I would cherish an opportunity to switch fields. But the honest truth is, right now I'm the breadwinner, the sugar mama as Daddy likes to joke and that means I have to keep my high paying technical job for now. At least until he finishes school and gets his high paying technical job. So I continue on the schooling path towards my bachelors in computer science because to stop at this point for a what-if and possibly-when would be insane and discouraging. Not only that, I truly do love the technology field as well, it is after all a "science" field. But sometimes, oh just sometimes I wish to break free from all technology and be plunged into all things medical. I'm a total geek but I'd love a career doing medical research, of course that requires an MD, PhD and I believe at least five years in the field of study. And although I wouldn't consider myself old per say, I certainly wouldn't survive all that medical school so it would be nursing or back to sonography for me. Both of which pay decent and are lucrative fields IF you have two incomes. I know God has put these challenges before me for a reason and I trust Him, even if He moves a little slow for my liking sometimes. ;) Well it's another up too late night, going to try to stay awake tomorrow via extra caffeine, kinda day gearing up for tomorrow so, so long and farewell my dust bunnies in cyberworld, 'til we meet again!
