Well, it has been a while, but I am still around. I graduated from Tennessee Technology Center with 2 diplomas on August 23, and took a temporary job with Adult Education through the Tech school on August 22. I am enjoying being in the labor force. It is work that I went to school for and a good work experience, and I plan on keeping it until they don't need me any more.
B.J. started her senior year, man does that make me feel old. She will be 18 in a few more months.
John would have been 16 on the 25th of this month had he not went to be with the Lord in Heaven.
Becky is still working and doing well, and Brad may be deploying soon. He would have already deployed had he not broke his foot a few days before deployment. But it is healing and he may be going overseas real soon.
Well, that is about all I have to say for now. May God Bless You All!

Another day of class
Well, another day of class is nearing its end, and I am so glad. I only have about 4 and 1/2 more weeks, and I will graduate. I need to be working on my cover letter, thank you letter, and thank you card. I also need to be printing examples of my work, but oh well, I can do all that this weekend. I am glad for the weekend to be here, I need a break from this stuff for a day or two. I hope to find a job pretty soon, but I have faith that I will get one when the Good Lord is ready for me to have one.
It is hard for me to believe that it has been 4 1/2 years since John passed away. Sometimes I feel like it just happened. That I just came home without him from Vanderbilt, but it isn't so. My heart still aches for his smile, loving arms, and sense of humor. I know he is in a better place, but that just leaves me here without him.
B.J. and I are at each other's throats at least every 3 days. I will be glad when we get through this difficult time and can be closer again. I miss when she was little. She and I were as close as could be until I had to go to Vanderbilt with John and had to leave her at home so that she could continue her schooling and such. I sometimes wonder that if I had taken her with me how things would be now. I know that we did things the right way, but there is always that doubt in my mind.
Brad will be deployed soon. It seems unreal that he will be so very far away. I feel almost like I am loosing another child. I know he will be okay, if that is God's will, but my fears still get the better of me sometimes. I guess I still need to work on my faith more, huh.
Becky is still doing well. Working hard, that is for sure, I just wish her husband would take a notion to find a job and help pay the bills. I hate to say it, but he is starting to really remind me of my ex-husband, and that is not a good thing. He buys her things to make her feel good, but at the turn of a dime, he will say things to make her doubt herself and feel bad about herself. Just like Charles always did me. I just pray that he will grow up, and treat my daughter the way she deserves to be treated.
Joe and I are doing well, just trying to make ends meet until I can graduate and get a good job. I worry about him, as he doesn't really take good care of himself. He takes care of all of us as best he can, but he doesn't take care of himself. I guess life insurance is the first thing I need to start after getting a job.
Well that about wraps it up here. I need to get ready to go home.
May God bless and keep you safe, happy and loved.

Hello again
Hello again, it has been quite a while since I posted. I have been pretty busy, but thought I would take the time today to post an update.
I had my surgery and it went well. Pathology came back OK, and I went back to school in a reasonable amount of time. I got caught up and even got a little more ahead. I have 2 more tests until I am done with one of my third trimester books, and the second trimester isn't even done yet. I have today and tomorrow, and then awards day and I will have the 2ND trimester over with. I have a 97 average, and will receive another academic award as well as my Information data processing certificate. One more trimester and I will get my Accounting Assistant Diploma, if all goes well.
The family is doing good, and I am very happy. This past week has been tough. It was the 4Th Anniversary of John's passing, and it was a tough one. Watching the kids that John was close to at church doing their LLL stuff was a real rough time for me. I couldn't help think that he should be up there with them. And also wondering what he would look like now, and who he would be friends with, and how he would be doing in school. It really sucks sometimes being a mom who lost one of her kids to a disease like he had. I sometimes feel that people don't understand and that they just expect me to "get over it" and I just can't do that. It isn't easy at all. I don't think I will ever be quite the same again. But I will go on and try to make him very proud of his mom.
I will finish school,
I will get a job,
I will help his sister get through,
And I will go on.
I don't really have a choice, do I?
But I will be "okay" and life will go on. So may God bless us all!

Another Day
Well, today is just another day in this cold winter God has decided to grant us. We have had a lot of cold days and snow too. But what will be will be. I will be having surgery soon, a hysterectomy, because of fibroid tumors. I am a little scared, not because of the type of surgery but because of the fact that I am diabetic and asthmatic and that could cause difficulties with the surgery as well as recovery. Hopefully I will be able to have the procedure lapriscopically (sp?), but we will see.
School is going well, I have a 98 average overall. I have finished Accounting I, Microsoft Word, and almost done with Excel. I will then only have PowerPoint and Access to finish this trimester up. Then it will be Accounting II, Quickbooks, Payroll procedures, and Your Career, I think that is all of them for the 3rd trimester.
Hopefully I won't get behind during my leave of absence for my surgery. Well, it is time for me to do something other than play here.
God Bless,
Judy
