Hello friends!

Ok, so I know you are all wondering where the elusive Andrea has disappered to this time!!!! No, not jail..lol. Lets see, school started back last month, and let me just tell you that this semester is a doosie! Im taking 16 hours and Im just overwhelmed. I dont think I would really feel that way if my english professor (who is the dept head..ugh!) would realize that she is not my only class. Im not behind in anything, I just have so much to do that my life literally is passing me by, but it will be worth it. It better be!!! Riley is doing good, basketball season is almost over and he is trying out ( I almost sais auditioning..haha) for baseball. He has not played in years but he wants to. We will see. He still has his romance..ooohhhlala. Scary thing to be a parent of a teenager with a girlfriend. Dakota loves that he is the only one in the house now. I think he thinks he should be an only child forever..nope..sorry! He is just a joy to have around and I see so much of myself in him and his mannerisms. I am uber excited becasue this weekend we will be doing family photos, and good ones. It has been a good 6 years since we had them. I dont know why this excites me cause I hate photos, but I love my boys and not having Riley home, I miss him and us as a family whole. Im hoping the pictures will cover my walls and remind me of our family.
Gran has been in the hospital all week and I have been staying there for all except the last two nights, was getting behind on homework. I just got a call and Summer says that the test they did today shows the medicine is working and that she might get to go home. What an answer to prayer. Surgery was not what we wanted at all, a 20% change she would just make it through the procedure was not odds we liked. But God knows what he is doing, so Im just letting him work. Her birthday is tommorrow, she will be 86! Wow! She has lived a long and good life and its funny that shes ok if its her time to go home. We had that talk a few weeks ago, its an odd, yet comforting conversation.
Well, Im sure there is way more I need to tell you, but unfortunatly my next class is about to begin. I hope you all have a fabulous day and I promise not to be away from you for so long!! lol!

As always I will close with some prayer requests because I do believe prayer works...1. My Gran, we arent totally outta the woods and its going to be a long road, 2. Katrinia Bennett, liver needed to continue her service for the Lord, 3. Me, school, home, I need a better job, 4. and my boys! Being a teenager these days is not something I would want to do.



Have a fantabulous day Jewlers!!! (<---think it will catch on?)
