Unknown Fate of Graduation

I am very disappointed today as I just returned from picking up my test grade from last week. I felt very good about the test & prepared adequately, it not extra. I ended up with an 84% which is still a good grade, but I needed an A. I don't know at this point what this means for the fate of my graduating. I had decided before I even knew the grade that no matter what happened I am going to finish out the next 3 weeks & see what happens. There is still a chance that I could be approved to graduate by the broad of the school.

I hate to be a downer, but I just feel so sad & frustrated! I am good student & this is just so many emotions I have never had to deal with before when it comes to grades & school. I am just hoping & praying that everything will work out.

25 More Days of Class

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated. It has been a busy few weeks at our house.

Dustin went on a trip to Oregon with some guys from work that was hosted by one of there vendors iLevel. He was gone from 10/13 to 10/17. I was a long few days in a quiet house for me, but he had a really good time. He got to go to the sand dunes on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, on a fishing trip, to visit 3 saw mills (he really enjoyed these) & to many good restaurants. He was glad to be home when all was said & done & very exhausted! He is back in the grind this weekend working on a side job.

I have been doing nothing but school. I officially have 25 days of school left & I just found out there is a chance I could not graduate. I am asking everyone for there prayers that I pass with the grade I need!!! I am soo frustrated with my school & this whole ordeal I just want to graduate & get on with my life. I won't go into it, but I have 1 more test, a paper, & a final that I have to get A's on. I have been studying nonstop & an doing everything I can to achieve those grades. So sorry everyone, but for the next 3 1/2 weeks my social life is nonexistant.

That is about all that is occuring at our house. We are loving the fall weather! Not so much the leaves with all our big trees, but that is part of living in a 53 year old neighborhood.

Hope everyone is doing well & I will try to update again soon!

Day-To-Day


Okay, now that I have finally remembered my password I can update our blog!!

Nothing too exciting around our house these last few weeks. W are LOVING the cooler weather and all the Autumn smells in the house (of course I already have all my fall stuff out)
I have started back to school for my LAST quarter, yep you heard me right. I will be done on 11/14 and Graduation is Dec 1st!!! I can not wait. Until then I have a lot of studying to do, a 10 page paper, and 96 hours of clinicals to do, no pressure right? Oh and did I mention I have to get an A in the class to graduate!?!?!? So that is what I am doing with my time.
Dusitn is working hard as usual. The good news is the Lumber yard is picking up a little. Last week he had to stay until 5:00 on 2 of his early days, that is a good sign. He has also the last couple of weeks been working on a cabana for Tony Richardson's house. He has really enjoyed that and now gets to go to a party there next week!! He also has about 4 more decks in line to do in the next month or so. Busy, Busy, Busy...
We have recently found out that 2 of our friends are expecting little ones coming up next Spring. A big CONGRATS goes out to them. We are keeping them in our thoughts for a healthy and easy going pregnancies.
