& I'm back. Well I technically haven't gone anywhere, except to Stress Town and back. Life has been hectic since my last post and so now that I have about one minute to breathe I figured I'd let you all know what's been going on!
I began my very last semester of college! This is exciting because I'm student teaching this semester (in an amazing school) and, for those of you who really know me, know what a long hard road it has been to get to this point. I have two and a half months left before I'm a certified licensed teacher (whoo hoo!) Now that I'm pretty much teaching full time and working at the store on the weekends (yes boys and girls - that's 7 days a week) I have NO time for anything. Really, it's been almost a month since my last post and I feel terrible about it!
As for my little Jack. He's not so little anymore. Brian took him to the surgeon yesterday for x-ray's to see how his hip has done this past month, and to be honest, it hasn't done too well. The positive first: Jack is still responding well to his anti-inflammatory (although he's been limping a little more lately) and he's now 33 pounds! The not-so-positive: The x-ray shows his hip has gotten worse and the surgeon suggested to get the surgery done next week! What?! While we have received very generous donations from friends and family, we're still not close to the total cost of his $2,000 surgery.
We're stressed out but hopeful!
Here's a look at what we've been doing this past month while I have not been blogging!
