Work, Work, Work...and MORE work.

It begins...

In the past couple days, we have been checking out all the details of Full Sail University. The school sent Tylor two more thick brochures, one of which, was a housing guide. Now that I have become more accustomed to the fact, my planning side began to come out :)

   So while Tylor was busy oogling the programs offered brochure, I began marking the few apartments that I would approve of, I have found 2 that I absolutely LOVE! Both pretty much have the same amenities, including pools, fitness centers, walk-in closets etc. BUT the only difference is..

PRICE

(of course)

and the more expensive one has a fireplace a screened in patio AND a built-in bookshelf! tough choice.

After I had narrowed it down to these 2 choices out of the original 10 that I had had, I began the virtual tours, which were BEAUTIFUL! I even went to MapQuest and planned the trip, how much gas will be, and even set our rest stops to be in Aurora, Nebraska and Antioch, Tennessee. It is a 34 hr. and 40 min, drive if we don't stop, with a total of

2,315.30 miles!

  I also found about 6 clinics within 4 miles of the apartments and the University that i could work at, one only requires BLS certification, which I already have, and certification by either the AAMA or the AMT, which is what tests I will have to pass in order to graduate! It seems like this is how everything should be going.

    Tylor has been working hard, as usual. He is ahead in school and is doing great in his studies. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished this year so far. He is going to school, working, and dealing with me on top of it all! He is amazing.

   This year, my New Year's Resolution was to lose weight, so far I have lost 6 pounds, and still going strong! I just finished up my second term yesterday and i am so grateful for the week break before I go back. but only one more term until labs!

   Also, yesterday, i got to go to Logan and visit my very best friend, Deborah McBride! It was SO much fun, especially finding the place ;). I missed her so much! We had great fun catching up on yearbook news and what had happened in the past year and everything. She has a wonderful boyfriend, Christian, who is so sweet to her and I am so happy for her, they were so cute together and I wish I could visit more often. She is so much fun, especially when we talk about things that are only exciting to us because no one else gets it!

Oh what fun it is to find a college to go to!

"Growing up too fast.."

I am about to finish up my second term at school and I am so excited, because after my third term, I get to start labs! I got a 4.0 first term and hope to this term also. :)

Now, while Tylor is still in high school and just finishing up, he had decided that he was going to school for the recording arts in Emeryville, California, so our plan was to move there around next August. Until, the Internet introduced Tylor to the "best school in the country for recording arts" in Orlando, Florida.

And I thought California was far enough away! He has called the school multiple times figuring out all the details and....that's where i will be going around next Autumn. I'm nervous but he has his passion, and I know nothing will stop him.

Also, something new, our second car, a 1991 Toyota Camry, has just blown the transmission, so we now have a 1987 Mercury Cougar. Yes, I know, we don't seem to be moving up do we? But, it actually runs better than both of our previous cars. Amazing as it may be..

Some more good news, Tylor got promoted to Assistant Manager at his work. It's called Kim Long Vietnamese Cuisine, and he loves it there, he is doing a great job.
