Lets see ... the semester is over, thank goodness. Two A's and one B shocking is that one of the A's was in my global cultures class which was the most stressful. I'm excited because now I get to go to school for free because we make under a certain amount, and because I'm not taking a full load at UTA the government allotment covers it all. So mom and I only have to pay for books and my tcc class, which is 1/9 the cost of a uta class.
David lost his job at best buy and has been interviewing and had an interview for one of the mid-cities police departments last week. Hes waiting to hear about the second round of interviews and all of the people he had put as references told us they had called them. We've been worried about the house stuff but because Dennis co-signed the house is still going through and we will be closing at the end of this week/beginning of next. Our first month of mortgage is included with our down payment so that gives us time to get stuff together. Plus we have plenty of small work to do to the house before we move in so our utility's and such won't be that much anyway for the first month or two. Most of which we can do ourselves, with the guys being so handy & my cousin Branden coming down who builds houses with his dad for a living. The biggest thing was the carpet & stove but my parents said because they won't have a student loan payment for me they are more than willing to take on helping with one or the other.
We went to California for Davids cousins Tianna's graduation. She got a BMW for her graduation gift from her parents! Much better than my hami-down laptop I must say, but she deserved it. We had fun, Azzie got to go to the beach, she didn't like the sand or the water. It was to cold and big for her so she was holding on to her grandpa. Aunt Rolanda was so happy she got kisses and hugs from her as we left. Azzie had her first plane ride and she did outstanding. David was with us on the way there and we were on our own on the way back. Which was scary because it was the second time I had ever flown by myself, the first I was young enough to have the flight attendants navigate me everywhere. So I was a bit scared because I am very challenged at navigating in the first place. Yet we did great and I didn't even have to ask for help other than having Uncle Donnie carry in Azzie's car seat for me to check. Dennis Tori and Becky had taken our suit case in the truck for us because they had driven. Sadly the red truck is no more, they had an accident on the way back and it was totaled. They had decided to drive straight through the night and Dennis started nodding off and rolled the truck. Thank goodness everyone came out with nothing more than bumbs, cuts and bruises.
