Work, school, and....

Well both Craig and I graduated this year. Craig will actually be done with his second bachelors degree which is in chemistry, in August. He had to take the second half of Spanish this summer. (Which he hates) He is working in a Chemistry lab on campus this summer and for the next two years he will be working on his masters degree in science education. Half of his classes will be in Education and the other half will be in Chemistry. He also works for the local newspaper and fills machines and has a driving paper route that he will continue to do.
As for me I am enjoying my free time. I still work for the school district as a bus aide. School will be done June 3. Then I plan to help with summer school. I also work for the city as a scorekeeper for city league softball at night. I really enjoy it except that it gets cold at night. But it is nice because Craig plays so I get to watch him and get paid for it! I plan to work for the school district through December.
We are also moving to an apartment in August. Craig's sister and her family moved back for Graduate school and are going to be living in the house. For now we are all living together till we are able to move out.
And now for the the big news! We are going to have a baby!!!! I am 11 weeks along and my due date is Dec. 15. We are very excited and nervous for whats to come!

Graduation and my coat

It's official, I am a graduate! It is crazy to be done. I am not quite sure what to do with myself. My parents and sister and her kids were able to come down and spend the weekend with us. It was great. We had fun.
For my last sewing class (Fiber Arts) we have to make a coat, using at least four different tech. that we had learned in class. For my coat I did twin needle, beading, machine embroidery, and painted my lining. I was very excited how good my coat turned out. I looked forward to wearing it. It will be on display at the American Heritage Center all summer. We had to name our coat and I named mine My Happy Ending.





This is my lining that I painted.
