and summer begins........

well, both of my boys passed and move up to the next grades. Jesse goes to the 8th and Dylan goes to the 6th...NO MORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!!!!!!! Just to let everyone know - I am not happy about this. Proud - YES, happy - no, because this means that my baby is no longer a baby, but turning into a young man :( On a lighter note, Jesse had his academic awards today and received 3!!! 1st - best behavior, no marks at all for the entire year!! YAY! 2nd - student council ( he never ever mentioned that he served on student council - see what I mean about not wanting them to grow up - they forget to share, even when I ask questions!!!!) but way to go Jesse!!!! and 3rd - playing football and keeping outstanding academic grades!!! SO VERY PROUD :) Here are a couple of pics, although you cannot really see them :( The ceremony was due to start at 9:50 and I got there at 9:40 and it had already started, so I sat at the back, near the door. Both of them had excellent grades - A's & B's, so I gave both of them rewards!! I better quite before I write another book...LOL! I have to get up early and take Jerry to the Dr., he has a fasting blood test to check sugar, cholesterol, ect. and then he has an appointment with the ear, nose and throat Dr. so busy day ahead. Also, just a quick note - I start school on Monday, but I learned today that after I finish my pre-req's in the fall, I can attend Mercy School of Nursing and I should be able to start right up instead of waitng 9 months to begin the nursing classes, plus they will pay 80% of tuition and student loans if I agree to work with them afterwards for a year. I am very excited about this because it will have me with a paycheck two years earlier!!!!!!! I am getting all the info, but pray for me that it works out - I really need to get through school as soon as I can :) Good night and I love everyone!!!
