Update

Its been a while since I have posted anything new, so I'll provide an update. Lets see... I have decided to change my major. Instead of trying to become an English teacher, I am going to major in Art with a concentration in Graphic Design. I have always been a lover of art, so I figure in order for me to stick with something and be happy, I had better chose art. At this point, I am not sure if I am going to stick with Spring Arbor and get a 4 year degree or go to LCC and get a two year degree. I have already wasted like three years, so for me to get a 4 year degree, the earliest I can complete it in would be three years. If i get the two year degree, I can finish in a year and a halfish, get a job, and work for a while, then go back to school at a later date and get the four year degree. The only down side to going to LCC is the drive. I hate the drive to Lansing, the scenery sucks! I am taking a drawing class this summer, so hopefully I will decided by the time that class is completed.

My boyfriend is finally working, thank god. Its not a permanent position, but its money. Pretty much he just gets called in to this sandblasting/painting shop when the owner needs a hand. So far its been pretty steady. He's been doing it for about three weeks, working atleast 4 days a week and getting paid at the end of each day. The owner seems to be impressed with his work, so we are hoping he will take him on as a true employee. Its such a turn on to see him come home all dirty and splatted with paint, knowing that he has worked his butt off all day.

Corbin is doing pretty good. He's really trying to talk. This morning on our way out the door, he stopped at the fish tank and said "bye fish". It was so cute. When I was getting him ready he was trying to say " I go to school". I cant wait til he can say more words. Here's a couple new pics of Corbin.

This is what happens when I leave your kid with friends, lol

Happy Birthday Baby

Yesterday was my boyfriends 30th birthday. I still can't believe he is that much older than me [almost 10 years older than me]. I like to pick on him and call him my old man. I was planning a nice quiet semi romantic dinner for him and at the last minute his ex called and needed him to watch her little girl. So it ended up being dinner for 3 instead of two. To make it worse, my boyfriend wasnt feeling to well so he didnt eat as much as he usually does and his daugher would touch my food. I cooked chicken n dumplin's, she just kept poking at the dumplin's. I did make him a sweet little card, though. He seemed to like it. I just wish I could have done more for him. Maybe some other time.

I learned of some interesting news a couple days ago. Turns out a friend of mine is pregnant. I could believe it, but I couldnt believe it. Personally, I think that if she goes through with this pregnancy and keeps the child, its going to be a big mistake. Mainly because her boyfriend is not a very good person. For lack of a better word, he is a major asshole and I dont think that he will give her the proper support she needs. I ran into his sister last night and she told me he plans on marrying her by August. Really, I think getting married just because you're expecting a baby is a bad idea. It just adds too much strain on a new marriage. Plus, they are only 21 years old and getting married young, even without children, is a quite difficult. Hell, marriage at any age is hard enough. I just have a feeling that if they did get married, they would regret it not too long after. I actually had a talk with her last night, telling her about the reality of having children and my experince as a young single mom. I just want her to be able to make an informed decision. She has already told her parents and her boyfriends parents. Also, due to an untrust worthy room mate, a lot of her "friends" know too, but due to the information going from person to person, it did get changed a bit. So it adds more pressure on her to make a decision because so many people know. So she is really pissed about that. I just love my friend so much and I do not want to see her throw her life away. I am really hoping she makes the best for her. Raising kids is a hard task and should not be taken lightly, as I now know.

On a brighter note, Corbin went to his first birthday party yesterday! He had such a good time. They had a clown that used animals as part of her performance (a chinchilla, ferret, pocket parrot, hedgehog, rabbit and a chicken[which was my favorite]). He seemed to enjoy the bunny. I am thinking about trying to get that clown for Corbin's birthday party.

I feel sooo happy today because my car is finally fixed. I have been without my own car for close to three weeks! Its amazing how much I rely on my own car. I also got lucky because it only cost me $285 verses the $550 I thought I was going to have to spend. Next is to get new tires.

I am also happy because I can finally relax, kinda. I spent all weekend reading a novel and writing a 5ish page paper. I read over 200 pages in like 3 hours and wrote the paper in 5 hours, minus the outline which took me all darn day. I need to be more proactive so that I dont have to do this again.

I had a consultation today with a dental surgen about my wisdom teeth. It looks like he is going to rip all 4 of the out next month :(. I just hope I get some really good drugs, hehe.

Well, thats all for now
