Saturday

This is my last Saturday class. Happy and sad. I made some friends that I hope to keep in touch with. On to bigger things now. I hope that all my classmates have a wonderful summer and wish you all luck in your careers after your done college.

Thank you Prof Owens for the last 2 years of teaching. I had a difficult time getting started due to unemployment and class size. You were the only person to return my calls in reference to signing up for classes and you told me to just show up for your graphics one class. I was feeling discourage and thought maybe computer graphics wasn't for me after all, but I showed up and I'm glad I did. You switched some classes around for me and put me into web design classes which I loved and would have never even looked into had I had a different teacher. I know I have to work on my confidence in my work and hope to be very successful in my designing endeavor. Thank you again!!

Friday

Here we are at Friday. I am coming to the end of my college days. I'll say for now, because I dont know what the future will bring. I really enjoyed being in college. It was so different that high school. Made a lot of friends. Hopefully we will stay in touch. I hope finding a job will be easy.

This weekend I am finishing up with my final web page and I have to study for my final in my psych class.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's I know!!!!!! Enjoy the weekend!!

Monday

Its Monday. The work day went pretty fast. I was training someone to process loans. Count down is on to graduation. 5 more classes!!! Cant wait, I have neglected my house so much since I have been working and going to school. Actually looking forward to spring cleaning.

What a beautiful day!!! I'm in class today, but Brian and I have a kid free weekend and we are going to dinner tonight. My boys went up to see their dad for the weekend and go paintballing. I got my cap and gown for graduation and I was so excited I didnt want to wait for graduation, so I put it on ( I hope thats not bad luck)

Havent heard from Ashley since Tues., But we are always thinking of her.

Ashley called last night

When I got home from school last night, Brian was on the phone with Ashley. He motioned to me to let me know she called him and that she was crying. He gave the phone to me and I asked what was going on. She said she was very sorry for hurting us and for what she put us through. She is thinking about coming home because she misses everyone. We are still hurt by how she chose to handle things, but I am glad she called. Thats a step in the right direction. She said she wants to be home for my graduation. I really hope she grew up a little from all this. She has a lot of thinking to do and some choices to make about her future. I just hope that one of those choices are to keep the lines of communication open.

Monday

Nice weekend. We went up to the mountains to get the camper ready for summer. Long day today. Seemed like I was the only loan processing assistant in today. There was so much work!! Now I'm in school and looking forward to being home.

They found Ashley!!

They found Ashley! She is in Iowa. Thats where the boyfriends mom lives. She is ok and safe. We spoke with her and she does not want to come home. This is tearing her dad apart. I know in time we will come to except it, but its hard enough when your kids leave home on good terms. She left because she couldnt stand the rules. She made poor judgment and a really bad decision and her whole family is torn up over this. We can only hope that she stays safe and she learns a valuable lesson on how important family is and she comes to realize how much her family loves her. I hope that no other parent has to feel the hurt and sense of loss that we are feeling right now. Hopefully one day she will understand, and hopefully one day she will come back.
