Once again I have been MIA - Sorry - I have no excuse really - just the same ole one SCHOOL, still emotionaly recovering from the miscarraige and going through yet more emotions with my cousing missing......
I am almost finished with school though for a while --- I graduate from Ashford University in Iowa with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Social and Criminal Justice on December 12!!! I will still have 10 weeks of school left after participating in the graduation ceremony so my "official" graduation date will be March 8... But there is a light at the end of the tunnel!! I then plan to substitute teach while I continue my education by attaining my Masters in Mental Health Counseling with a Specialization in Forensic Counseling which should take approximately 2.5 - 3 yrs to complete. My plan is to start on my Masters in September -- I am in DIRE NEED of some time away from the class room, as I have been a student since August 2004 when I started college at the ripe old age of 39 and graduated in May 2007 with my Associates Degree in Social Work.
I will be flying to Iowa on Dec 4 and will stay with my daughter Ashley, her hubby Josh & my wonderful granddaughter Abigail (which turns 1 on Dec 15!! Time sure flies!!!) for a week before graduation, Hubby will fly out on Dec 11 to watch me walk across the stage and we will then fly back to Ohio together on Dec 13... I am exited as I recieved my Cap, Gown, Tassle, Invitaions and Addmitance tickets for graduation in the mail today -- I am also very excited to visit my granddaughter!!! I just saw her 2 weeks ago when they all drove up for an early thanksgiving together, but I can NOT get enough of my gradaughter !!!!!!
I think I have rambled on long enough.... Hugs to all-- Hope everyone has a great day!!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
