Glen is still at Advanced Online and he still loves it, which is great! All I've wanted for him was to be in a work environment that he enjoyed and felt like he could grow and thrive in. That's where he is and it makes me incredibly happy.
I took the THEA test and I got all the scores I needed to to get rolling in the education program, which I am so completely excited about. I feel like I've been fighting through this degree forever and knowing that there are only two years left is like a light at the end of the tunnel. With that said, I get to dive into the program next month. I am glad to finally get rolling on classes that really pertain to what I want to do.
As some of you saw, we had some "fun" challenges in the past few months. One of them being that our only car died. That was a bit of a hassle but it turned out well and we got the car we have now that we like and we know it's reliable. If you want to know the full story, you can go to my personal blog because it's kind of long to repeat but it was definitely a good experience for us. If you want to read that you can do so here. My school semester ended and for the first time in my college career I ended the semester with straight A's which I was really excited about because the majority of my classes were ones that I really struggled with and i definitely worked for my grade. I have been out of work and off of school since early May and I know that I need the breather time because the next two years are going to be long and full of hard work, but I still get stir crazy. Luckily, I have a very sweet husband who works very hard to make sure I know that he doesn't think I am being lazy because he knows that is what I am worried about.
This summer has really been spent and will continue to be spent working really hard. We've been working on the website called Task Rabbit where we pick up smaller side jobs. I haven't had the best of luck in the nature of people I worked for but Glen has done so well and he works so hard. I feel bad sometimes because he comes home from work then works really hard from home until we go to bed. But I am also really glad that this last weekend he had a chance to have a little mini-vacation and go to Colorado and see all of his family. He got to meet Ruegar, our newest nephew and play with our nieces. I was planning on going but our family is expecting another nephew, which we are so stoked about! My sister Megan and her husband Gavin are expecting their first child, Caelan. Tomorrow he will be a week late and we have been anxiously awaiting his arrival. So I had to stay home and be on call; something I have been referring to as being on central baby time. But we know that if he doesn't come on his own, he will be evicted in a week from today.
I think because this summer has been very work focused, I really look forward to times that I know we're going to play and have fun. Days like Friday or around our anniversary in August are ones I really look forward to because I get Glen to myself and we get to have some fun.
So that's been our summer so far. We hope all our friends and family are safe, happy, and healthy. We love you all! Have a wonderful summer!
I found the following quote and really like it because we have seen it. Things have been tough but somehow we have been making it and I know how that is. We are definitely blessed.
