Summer is pretty much official in the Cochran-Taylor household. I wrapped up my Spring semester on May 11th, and it was a life changing experience. I thought school was never in the cards for me, but once I took the first steps and enrolled I realized this is what I want. Not only for myself, but for my daughter and Adam too. I am proud to say that not only did I finish the semester with honors, but I finished with a 4.0 GPA!
I never imagined I'd do that well, but I am very excited about that! I'm taking summer classes, to speed up my graduation date, starting on May 31st and going until July 21st. I'm taking intro to communications and intermediate algebra. The math is making me nervous, 7 weeks is a really short amount of time, for me, to take a math class. I feel like that's the number one thing I struggle with, but I know I can do it. Thank God for Adam and his bachelors in mathematics or it'd be a lot worse. For the fall semester I've signed up for my final math class, college mathematics, my final English class, intro to criminal justice and college critical reading. All of which are required for my criminology and criminal justice degree. I'm what they call a MAPP student (Maricopa ASU Pathway Program) which guarantees my acceptance to ASU in the Spring of 2013, it all ensures all of my CGCC credits will transfer to ASU, and most importantly it looks the tuition in for me, at today's rate, regardless of if it goes up between now and then. So technically I am an ASU student. Pretty neat!
Bella is doing awesome! She had a dentist appointment on Monday and I am so proud of her, no cavities, again! She was so happy with herself. Her top two teeth and loose and should be coming out in the next 3 to 4 weeks. School is out on the 26th for the summer, her last summer before kindergarten! I just can't believe my baby is going to be in elementary school, it seems like just yesterday I brought her into this world! She is sooo excited about starting too. But, I don't think she understands how much earlier we'll be getting up for school. Right now we sleep until 8 or 9 everyday, and even later on the weekends. She's already hard to get out of bed lol. So it'll be interesting. Thank God for the Mesa school district and full day kindergarten. Because of them, I will be able to attend school full time without having to pay for child care. June 1st she has her surgery on her herniated belly button. I am terrified! I've actually considered cancelling it a few times already. The thought of my baby being put under for surgery freaks me out. I know she'll be fine, but I'm still freaking out! We'll see how it ends up! I know I need to do it, it's just scary! Tball wrapped up about 2 weeks ago, Bella did so well and I'm so proud of her for doing so well. On Saturday we're going to the end of the season party, and she'll get her little trophy and pictures back! They're having it at a pizza joint, should be fun.
Adam is well, busting his ass at work. He's got that electrical job at the Indian Medical Center and they're in the middle of a 2 week shut down. 3 guys working different shifts, 24 hours a day. If one of them is sick, Adam has to go sit in and watch the job, so he's been working some early mornings and weekends. He's a great man. He works so hard so that I can go to school and Bella can have the perfect little spoiled life she has lol. We're having a Memorial Day party on Saturday the 28th. We should have about 15 people here. Adam is going to make wings and pasta salad, I'll probably do up our famous dilish bacon jalapeno peppers. I'm going to fill up a couple hundred water ballons for the kids to thrash eachother with lol, it'll be fun!
Other than life, not a lot going on here! We're watching our friends two dogs until Saturday, so I've got a house full at the moment! Til next time!
