It is official! I will be starting an online degree program on December 3rd. Woohoo! I will be studying to get my Associate Degree in the Medical Assistant field. I will be taking 2 classes every 10 weeks and the best part is that I never have to leave my house! Lol! My hope is to use this degree as a stepping stone to becoming an ultrasound technician, but we shall see what the future holds. At this point I just want to concentrate on getting through my first 2 classes.
Oh, we had a really nice visit with my SIL yesteday. I guess that her husband decided to stay in Ireland and work so that they would have some extra $$$ for the holidays. Sounds good to me! Piper and Allissa took awhile to warm up to Julie since they don't remember her from last year. I am not really surprised, as they are both that way around anyone they don't know. My FIL was trying to explain to Piper (who is 18 months old btw) that Julie is her Aunt, so she is ok. I think it really bothered him that the girls didn't want anything to do with her at first. Oh well.
Can I just say that I forgot how different the slang is between Ireland and America? Julie would open her mouth and say something and I would be searching my brain to see if I could guess as to what she was talking about. I did pretty good for the most part I think. Who knew that a cookie was a biscuit though? I also forgot how everything is either gorgeous, brilliant, or beautiful. Like the tacos we ate for dinner were gorgeous. I am all for using descriptive words in slang, but really, I have yet to find anything that I have eaten that I would describe as tasting gorgeous. ;)
Julie got everyone gifts for Christmas. She got the girls dresses, and Adam a nice sweatshirt. We also got some nice pictures of her with the kids. Or at least as nice as 4 wiggly kids can be at the same time.

I will post pics of sock progress in another post, as I think I have just about maxed out my patience with this one. Lol
