Update from the homefront!
Ok so besides the update made earlier I figured I would go back a add a post just to let everyone know what’s been up lately. Dirk has not been keeping up with the posts to well lately. But considering that both of us are working two jobs right now and he is in the process of getting enrolled to go back to school, I would say that is understandable. As of right now he is supposed to be starting classes on Feb 22. However, the enrollment process is being hampered by the fact that we still need our W2’s for 2009 in order to get this process completed and a couple of forms we are waiting on the Coast Guard to cough up so that we can get the MGIB in place to pay for all this. Dj is going to school to earn his Associate of Occupational Science in Aviation Maintenance Technology and to get his FAA A&P License, and maybe a private pilot license if he has time. All this fancy talk basically means he will be able to repair and fly airplanes by the time he gets done.
Also, I had a Dr. appointment the other day. I found out that I have a tumor that they are going to have to remove. So far they are not too worried about it being cancerous but we will have to wait and see. They won’t be sure till they can get in there and take a look at it. I will be having surgery on Feb 25 to get the tumor removed. I’m really nervous but hoping everything goes ok. I’ll keep everyone posted when it happens.
We have also manged to make it past another milestone, every year around this time something happens that I dread worse than anything else in the world. The kids have science fair projects that are due! This might not seem so bad to some people but I personally hate the science fair and wish it would die. The only thing I can really see that they are trying to accomplish with these projects is to see how many forests one school can kill by using up a ton of paper. Both Andrew and Ashley turned in the projects on Friday so I am officially done with science fair for this year. Andrew decided to build a Mousetrap Powered Car this year and focus his project on Energy. Ashley decided to go a little more simple this year and do her project on different materials and how they conduct heat. But I am sure no matter how awesome the project we come up with, as in years past, the kids with the project about the moldy bread will win first prize. Moldy bread is not first place material people, moldy bread is just gross! Anyhow, as the moment that’s all we got going on around here. I’ll be sure to post an update later in the month about the school situation and the Dr. appointment when we get more news on both!
