Hello...Is This Thing On?

I honestly could not tell you the last time I did an actual blog post. I had to go back an look...4 months and 1 day ago. A lot has happened since then, but most of it has been a little on the dark side. Meaning: I couldn't post about it without pissing some or all of my family off. So for my own well-being I kept to myself. But let's just say it's been a rough few months and I've spent the majority of it in my room with my door shut. That's how I like things. I like being alone. And yeah, this probably sounds like I'm the most depressed person right now, but I'm actually not, I'm very happy with life right now and I'm in a really good mood today.

So a little update on life...I started my final semester in college in January and this week marks the midterm point, meaning only 8 more weeks until graduation. Yes, it's taken me 6 whole years to get through this. If I hadn't switched my major, it wouldn't have taken this long, but I don't regret the switch, I love my major and I love my career path. I really can't believe I've made it...I remember being a junior and senior in high school thinking I'd never make it, simply because I was from Keota, not many people from my small town ever graduate (or even go to) college. My parents didn't graduate, my sister didn't go. So how was I supposed to do it? This is a super proud moment for me, I get to brag a little.

For those wanting to know about Gammy...I'm not 100% sure on details. We don't get along very well these days and I try to stay out of her way. Therefore, I don't know much of what's going on. She's been in and out of the hospital and she's still taking radiation and some type of IV treatment to make sure her cancer doesn't come back, I'm pretty sure she said she's doing that through at least September. Her hair is finally growing back following her chemo treatments, so that has definitely boosted her spirits.

What else? I'm currently in a holding pattern waiting for niece number 3 to be born. As some of you know, Amber (my best friend since second grade) is pregnant with her second daughter. No, they're not biologically my nieces, but I treat them as such. Elizabeth Shae was supposed to arrive March 6th. However, this stubborn little girl has decided she likes being in her mommy's belly too much. After going to extreme measures to make sure Amber didn't go into early labor in January, I guess Lizzy has decided to pay us back for that. We thought she was ready to be born, but at Amber's last doctor's appointment, she had moved back up to where the doctor couldn't induce if he wanted to. So we're hoping she moves back down this week to where Amber can be induced soon. Wondering why this is such a big deal to me? I get to be in the delivery room when she's born! I'm not gonna lie, I'm super nervous about this. I've obviously never gone through birthing a child, nor have I witnessed one. It will definitely be an experience and I think it will bond me to this little girl forever.

After the baby is born, I plan on getting a job so I can save some money for my big move. Where am I moving? Well, I'm keeping my options open, but my heart is set on one place in particular, but if you don't already know, you probably won't find out until I'm ready to move. I like keeping it on the down-low :)

Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on in my life. It's Saturday and I have nothing to do all day long, so I decided to get a little blogging in :)
