It's been a while since I've posted anything and not that I have a whole lot to say, but figured I better write something.....
So, 6 days and I graduate college! HOLY CRAP! Four long years of school....no, not just for my bachelors....I got my associates in there somewhere....but Saturday is for my Bachelor's. I wish when you got your degree that your pay automatically went up 100%! Well at least 15%.....is that asking too much? I have to pay the student loans back sometime....
My brother is coming in Thursday afternoon to hang with us until next Monday! So excited to see him - so is Ethan for that matter - I miss that guy more than I can even express. I cannot believe how old we are now....me turning 30 this year.....him getting married next year! Wow! I remember (get ready Mac kids) when I would visit my dad in La Quinta and the Mac kids, John and I would spend all weekend swimming, "Going to the Mall", hanging out without a care in the world. Now, we are dating, married, having babies, raising families, working our butts off, getting old! :) I'm sure I have a ton of different memories but since I just finished reading Sarah, Emily, James blogs, they were in my mind...
My mom is coming in Thursday as well as her mom. I'm excited to see my mom but in all honestly, seeing her sometimes makes me sad. She's mom, but not mom. Not sure how else to describe it. I miss her dearly. Grandma is super excited to be here! She is getting so old to travel now but she said she wouldn't miss it for the world!
I have friends and additional family coming from all over to celebrate with me! Wonder if I will be sober on Saturday night.....there are too many people wanting to buy me a drink.....good thing I'm not the one driving that day! Oh, good too that Eric doesn't drink. I actually shouldn't be drinking since I got a diagnosis from my doctor....I'll post that in a different post.
I am throwing myself a graduation lunch in my honor (that sounds conceited - oh hell, who cares) on Saturday before the graduation at Claim Jumper. Love that place! Won't be great on the pocketbook but I will only graduate college once. :)
So, I suppose I had more to talk about then I thought.....I'm off to do homework!

Nikki, I couldn't be more proud of you if you were my own kid! Congrats from the bottom of my heart!
Please hug John and your mom and grandma for me. I'm not sure you knew this, but your grandma was amazing while we went through Mackie's illness and death. She sent cards to your uncle Jim every week or so. Beautiful, tender cards, it meant the world to him.
Have a fabulous time, I will be with you in spirit, in fact I'll even have a "spirit" or two in your honor tonight. (((giggle)))
Oh and (((sigh))) I love Claim Jumper! We don't have them here...
I love you to pieces!
Way to go Nikki.
Very proud of you. Not many married adults with children and full time jobs do what you have done. Be very pleased with yourself. You deserve it.
Say hi to Eric for me.
Jim
I know I've already said it (or written it, rather) but Congratulations!
"Goin' to the mall" (finger up, finger to the side) Repeat.
Hee hee Sarah! That is one memory I will never forget!!
