Bitter-Sweet

Well I had to say goodbye to my brother Jim today. He left to move down to Lubbock, Texas to attend Texas Tech University to earn his masters in children and family therapy. It was really hard for me to say goodbye to Jim, his wife Yvonne and my cute niece Elise. I know they will do great in Texas but I don't know how great we will do here without them! That was the bitter news, as far as the sweet, Johnny and I will be having a second child in February. Mackenzie was also a February baby and I would rather not have them share the same month, but I shared a birthday month with my brother Steve and we seemed to manage great. I am looking forward to this delivery knowing that I can schedule my c-section and not push my guts out for hours on end this time around! We will see how I can manage two children, people seem to do it all the time and survive..... wish me luck :)





My brother Jim, his wife Yvonne and their baby Elise. I will miss you guys!

Yeah Ellen! Congrats!! I think you and Jeana are pretty close with your pregnancy! How are classes going? are you done yet and ready to apply?

Yes I applied to SLCC's nursing program and got in, just not until spring '13. But I also just applied for Intermountain's program that Steph was in and if I get accepted I will start in January. So now I just wait.
