Busy family!

Oh my...have we been busy, busy, busy!

We FINALLY moved into our new house! Our brand, spankin new house!  It's kind of weird to actually think you're the first person to take a shower in your shower or sit on your toilet (assuming the workers didn't use it!)

We met a couple neighbors so far!  On our block...the houses on the same side as us are occupied, but the ones across the way are still vacant.  The houses are all sold....they just haven't moved in yet!  Man, I hope they're nice!

We decided not to attend the Ear Conference this past weekend ://  After all the counting down....we backed out at the last minute!  There's just a lot going on in the Hess household with moving and what not.  The Ear Conference also had events for the kiddos, but seeing as how Maxson is only 9 months old...he won't be able to enjoy the events or "meet" other kids like him.  I was really excited to meet all the doctors!  I got the schedule a few days before and realized I would only be able to meet with each one for 10 minutes.  I know, I know....what was I expecting??  A full hour?  There were about 400 people that were attending...so 10 minutes was awesome!  But not to toot my own horn....but what could they possibly tell me in 10 minutes of meeting Maxson about his "condition" that I didn't already know??  I feel like I would need more time.  My phone interviews alone are at least an hour.  I'm thinking we'll attend the conference in 2015!  He'll be almost 3.....he'll like the Smores, movie under the stars, face painting, etc.

I decided to attend college again!! For the 9th (and hopefully last) time!  I was really going back and forth between business or arts.  I know it's on two different spectrum!  I was hoping I would like something in business.  Everyone looks at me funny when I even mention an arts degree.  I keep hearing I won't make any money and won't find a job.  But when I look at the classes I'll be taking for the arts degree, I get anxious with excitement!  So do you follow your "likes" or your bank account??  I'm always lecturing Jacob on having a job you don't like for years and what it does to your soul.  Yet, here I am....thinking the way every other American does.  I decided to follow my "likes."  I should be starting next week on a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts. What am I going to do with it?? Who knows??  But I'm halfway there! And I'm still young....if I decide to learn more, I can! Wish me luck!!
