Good things

Two good things happened today... I was able to drop my chemistry class and lab, and Skeet told me that he canceled his trip next week so he will be here for Avery's birthday.
I feel so relieved on both counts! Now we can celebrate her birthday on her birthday and because I don't have 3 hours of homework every night, I now have time to plan something special for her birthday.

The amount of stress that the chemistry class was putting on me was getting to be way too much. I studied more for that class than I ever have for any class and I still did awful on the first test. I don't need chemistry for the radiology program so I decided I would rather drop the class than chance getting a bad grade and having my GPA go down. I will have two "W"s on my transcript, but I checked with Weber and they said that it shouldn't count against me when it comes time for them to make their decision. I feel like celebrating!! I honestly don't know how to act now that I don't have all that homework ahead of me!

I think that now is the time for me to start running. I want to train to do a half marathon. I need to research and find out when the next one is (hopefully in the spring) so that I have a goal to work towards. I would love to lose 10 pounds too so hopefully that will come with the running.

I have my next counseling appointment on Friday so I will try to update again then.

Candi,

I have been reading your blog off and on for a little while now. I came across it through Tonya's blog dealing with dwarfism. My husband and I also dealt with infertility, and one miscarriage. Although the Lord ended up blessing us with fraternal twin girls in January 2008, and it was a total God thing. That is just a quick summary, but I wanted you to know there is hope. The Lord brings you to my mind often and I pray for you when He does. Just know that the Lord is the Great Physician, and He has the final say over your life. Below is a link to a story that might encourage you. It is kind of long, so make sure you read all the way to the end (page 2).

Be blessed and know how much God loves you.

We have an angel Avery too. Our little hero fought for 107 days after he was born. My heart goes out to you. From one Avery mommy to another.
