New Title :)

Hey there friends hope the sun is in your face and the wind is on your back!!!!!
Today I will have a new unformal title given to me thanks to my beautiful niece
My brother also gets a new title (Grandpa) LOL He is 37 and says he is TO young but then I kindly remind him his baby girl (oldest of his 5 kids 4 of them being girls LOL) is 20 years old..... But she is having a baby girl today..... My brother drove most the night after he got off work last night to be with her. He lives in Indianapolis and she lives in Northern Arkansas....... She goes in for a scheduled C section at noon today :) So my unformal but greatly earned and wanted new title is GREAT AUNT Dawn :) YEAH ME ..... another generation of babies to love and watch grow !!!!!!! I cant wait :) My brother is VERY excited but ..... has a bit of reservation as his daughter is married (got married in July) but her hubby is a dead beat .......he dont work he dont do much of anything...... but as I tell my brother that is HER choice and she is an adult now so all we can do is try to help guide them in their marriage and pray for them......
Oy I cant wait to see the pics of my pretty great niece :) Just wanted to share and to ask for prayers that God will keep his hands on this new family and they will strive to have a good fullfilling life :) I am gonna be a Great Auntie YEAH

Here There and Everywhere

Hey there Blogfriends!!
Hope this finds everyone having a great life !!
School is going great for the most part..... I have gotten 2 A's in Math and 2 B's in respiratory class at school and a BIG FAT D in the respiratory class online......but I have figured out part of the reason for that ....... The instructor at the testing center said I could NOT go back and redo an answer on the test once I left that page ......(it is a computer test) so I know for a fact there was 6 question I knew I got wrong and would have changed if I could have went back and reread them and rethought them out ...... Talked to the class instructor and she said NOPE you should be able to go back...... so I have my 2nd test next thursday and I will make it a point to ask then testing instructor about the going back before I sit down to start the test :)
Work is going great !!!!!! Food is good water is great ........ Exercise is still a BIG ZERO
Went to the Gyn doctor today and he is another one of my doctors that has jumped on board about me going to get lapband done........... Still have not really made a choice one way or the other..... working in the medical field I can see alot of pros to it and also alot of cons from the medical stand point......
For now we will just buckle down to school and work on the exercise thing......
I have a recument (spelling) bike and my sister told me to get a typing stand at office max or walmart..... then I can read my text books while I ride the bike........
Hey has anyone ever had to change their belt on their treadmills???
I am thinking we may need a new belt for our treadmill...... but not wanting to get one if that wont help .......LOL and dont want to just through the treadmill out and buy another one if a new belt will fix it LOL......HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Welp need to get off here and get some online class work done while the house is quiet and the men in my life are fast asleep :)
Keep On Keepin On

Today was NOT a great day.
Well I am thankful for being alive, for having my family and friends and for my job :)

So it was NOT good
I took my 2nd test of the week today (my 1st test for my advanced cardiopulmonary a&p class) and did like crap big time...... got barley a C on it :( GRRRRRRRRR
Hoping that with DH being gone doing his thing in the day time I will get my nose in the books and really study ..... I need to get through these classes to move on in Respiratory training
So raising my water bottle to more studying
Have a great night and Keep On Keepin On
