Higher Education

Kevin's having a very rough time finding a job, even with a Bachelor's degree. So, he has been thinking about going back to school to maybe get a Master's degree. We went to go visit NKU today to talk to someone about his options. It turns out that maybe a Master's degree isn't for him (due to his low undergrad GPA), but may a second Bachelor's degree could be the way to go. He hasn't made any decisions yet, but we're excited about his options!

"White Death"

There were talks all over the news about the huge storm we were going to get. There was a winter weather advisory from 2 today until noon tomorrow. Right around 3:00, the snow started-- big, huge flakes and high winds, making it look like a blizzard outside. Fortunately though, it has been in the high 40s all day and the days before, so it wasn't cold enough for any of the snow to stick. The temperature dropped and the snow is supposed to fall all through the night.. so we'll see if "white death" is truly coming.

Yummy Cheesy Biscuits

I hate seafood, but I kept seeing commercials on TV for Red Lobster's cheesy biscuits and they looked really, really good. So, when deciding where to go for dinner, I suggested Red Lobster. Kevin was ecstatic because he loves seafood. I seriously could have made a meal of just the cheesy biscuits, they were so good! I barely ate any of my actual meal, but I made sure to save room for the warm chocolate chip melting cookie we had for dessert.

Happy Birthday Joey!

Today is Joey's 3rd birthday! I feel like it was just yesterday when he was a young pup. Last year and this year for his birthday, we got him his very own cupcake to eat. He loves it! He gets icing all over his nose and crumbs everywhere. This year he also got a set of treats/bones called "Oinkies." After he ate his cupcake, he spent the rest of the night chewing on his Oinkie. I hope he had a great birthday and technically we owe him a drink, since he's 21 in human years this year!

First Day of School

Today starts my second semester of grad school! Winter break was nice, but I've actually been itching to go back to school. I am loving school this time around- I don't remember being this excited for undergrad classes ever. This semester I will be taking: Phonics, Instructional Technology, History II, Philosophy of Education, and Educational Administration. Here's to being one more semester closer to being a teacher!

Ready for School

I absolutely love buying school supplies! At the beginning of the school year, I went and got tons of stuff while it was on sale for back-to-school. It was enjoyable then, but now, for second semester, I can't go school supply shopping because I have some supplies left over from first semester. I am very organized when it comes to school. Everything is color coordinated for each class-- as you can see, with matching folders and notebooks for each class. When I write my homework down in my planner, I use colored pens that coordinate with that class's notebook color. My pen bag is FILLED with pens, in every color you can imagine! I use a different color pen every time I take notes. Oh, the simple things in life!

Kissing Uncle Kevin

Jackson is doing this thing now where he gives you kisses. Not just any kisses, but open-mouth, tongue-out kisses. It's the cutest thing! Jackson absolutely loves his Uncle Kevin, so naturally, Uncle Kevin gets all the kisses that he wants!
