Sorry I haven't posted in quite a while. We're still paying off bills and so our internet connection will remain off until they're settled. Which might be some time. Mike and I are doing very well. Mike's job has kept their word about giving him his 40 hours. I'm actually in the middle of studying for two different things. I'm currently studying for my GED so I can finally get that overwith. I got a GED study guide that's like a million pages long, arrgh. But we've been having fun with the history portion, Mike is quite the history buff. Once that's taken care of I'll be going back to work. I'm going to apply at some local hospitals doing the same admissions work I used to do. It pays well. I'm also studying to get certified as a Doula/Birth Assistant. My ultimate goal being a midwife, but a birth assistant gets me experience with labor and birth, and I get paid while I'm doing it. The average pay for a Doula here in town, is around 4 - $500 a patient. Most Doula's see two or more patients a month. Not bad! The bulk of the money needed to get certified is all in the books. They have a required reading list that will take a while for me to afford. I did, however, make a wishlist in case anyone is feeling charitable, *wink wink*.
Collin is doing great and is driving us crazy with poking our faces while he tells us the names of our parts. He's also obsessed with the movied Milo & Otis, which is about a dog and cat on a farm. He talks pretty well but he mostly repeats words you say at that moment. He's quite the little cutie still and lucky we haven't had any more teeth come in. He just got over a sinus infection but that's all done with. So, it's smooth sailing with him for a while at least. Last night my mom watched him for the entire night. We saw a bunch of friends at the bar and it was just like old times. I laughed and smiled so much my cheeks hurt. Well, that's about all I can think of right now. I talk to most of you so this is just a little update.
