Goodness gracious

It has been a busy few months. I signed up for two classes this semester, Math and Chemistry. Just had the finals this week and things are settling down for the summer. It's been very hard working full-time, going to school, and rebuilding a house.

The house had some issues, and we ended up tearing down a little less than half of it. About 600 sq. ft., leaving us with the original house sans addition. It's good it we took it down, and I became quite proficient with a sledgehammer. Six dumpsters later and we were back on track. I managed to get all the appliances for the house for about $1700. This includes a frech door refrigerator, vent hood/ microwave combo, double oven gas stove, and a super fancy dishwasher. Thank you Sears scratch and dent outlet, and the nice woman on Craigslist that wanted a stainless steel fridge instead of a white one. Now all the electrical has been redone, the plumbing has been removed and replaced, the yard has been cleaned up, floors in the kitchen and bathroom have been pulled up, the list keeps going and going. Needless to say we've been busy.

The classes I took are now over and I did pretty well, B's in both classes. I am totally fine with this. Now the pre-req classes are done I can sign up for the Radiology program. It will take me a while to get through it all, but in the end it will be worth it.

I ended having to take 3 months off from skydiving during this whole process, this made me sad. Plus I had to have a recurrency jump when I finally did make it back to the dropzone. I will not take 3 months off again, if I can help it. I missed it too much. I was invited to join a competition team this summer, but with the house still a work in progress I don't have the time or funds for competition this year. Next year for sure!

Work is still good, and I like everyone I work with. It's nice to enjoy being at work for a change. I have no problem staying there while I continue to go to school. That's a least a few more years.

All in all, life keeps getting better. Slowly sometimes, but I'll take it.
