Well, I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. I now have a week off. Wow. A week off! Okay, well, not quite a week off, I do have some research to do for school, and research sucks, but oh well.

Corinne and I had a good weekend. We went and looked at some furniture on Saturday. We want to buy the chair and ottoman to our set, but doubt we’ll be able to aford it. :(

We went dancing on Saturday night, which was quite fun. It was nice to get out and boogy.

Last night was strange. After going to bed, I just started sobbing. I get so emotional when I think about my daughter. I don’t ever want her to have to endure hard times and I don’t want anything bad to ever happen to her. I know that’s not realistic, but it’s just how I feel. It’s so strange.

I’m sitting here typing this with a headache. Not a splitting one I guess, but the kind you just “know is there”. It’s quite annoying really.

School is going well, I’m pulling A’s in all of my classes I believe. So, that’s good, and I’m happy about it. I’m off to bed for the evening.

Yup, it’s quite obvious, an apology is in order. The last two weeks have been quite hectic; honestly. I had exams in EVERY one of my classes last week. It was truly heinous. All in all, I do believe that I fared very well with my lowest score so far being a B.

Work has also had its ups and downs. Last week was just bad. Things were going wrong all over the place, people were upset and taking it out on each other, it was very unusual.

I lost 4 of my new guppies last week, which is really a bummer. One of them appeared to have died whilst giving birth (guppies have live babies). I did find 3 new babies in my tank today though, so I am happy about that.

I’m still unable to find any really “good” information on getting down to UNLV. It seems that the place is just SO big that nobody knows what is going on. I know that I just haven’t reached the right people yet though.

The REALLY good news is that Corinne and I did finally get some new furniture. It’s not quite new, it’s like a year old and barely used, but we’re excited nonetheless. It is made by Ashley Furniture and is the Mission-Pewter colletion. It is dark grey, and VERY nice. I will be posting pics soon.

The baby is doing so well. She went to the Dr. last week and is now 14.5Lbs. and 25″ long. She’s getting big, quick! I fall more and more in love with my little girl every day. I can’t even imagine not having her in our lives now. It’s so strange. Everyone I talk to is so surprised that I’m happy to be a Daddy. I get that feeling that, more often than not, many people are not ready for children. Quite frankly, I think that is horrible because my life has been so enriched by my daughter.

My calling in church is going well, and I’m feeling much better about even going to church. I was really struggling there for a while. Corinne and I had to speak this last Sunday and all went very well. Corinne acutally had to sing that day as well, so she got double-duty. I unfortunately, got not time to speak as we were already 5 minutes over when I got to the pulpit. I was annoyed because I thought I had some important things to say.

I’ve been reading a new book lately. Acutally, I’m cancelling our Cable TV so I have more time to read. I just make excuses not to and sit and watch the toob at night, which is not good. The book is called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I very much recomment it. The book is about finding your “destiny” and going after it. When you do, the book says, the universe conspires to make it happen. It’s quite interesting really and is a good motivating force for me.

I think that just about covers everything. I promise I won’t take so long to post again. Until next time…
