Catch up!

I am a sucky blogger as it is and I am even worse when it comes to actually sitting down and writing a post. So here's a little catch up from what has been going on in our lives. School started obviously, so far so good I guess... I have a really tough schedule this semester so I'm hoping I can pull it off and get good grades. I am way too impatient though and I just want this part of our lives to be over already. We have both been students since we got married and I am ready to just be done and settle into our careers and get going on the rest of our life. McCall only has this semester and then either summer or fall left for his Bachellors degree. I can't wait! So depending on if his schedule can work out or not- he could be done by August! yay! The only problem with that whole situation is then he gets to start applying for jobs and has to go through the police academy as well. Law enforcement agencies take FOREVER to hire too so it might still be a while after that until he has a set job. So if anyone has any connections- we are always looking for an opportunity for him. Let us know- we need all the help we can get! As for me.. I am still doing pre-requisites for Dental Hygiene.. I kinda keep thinking about other options though. I love the idea of dental hygiene but I definitely want to keep my options open. And if any of you know me- I change my mind ALOT! I just get too impatient. So hopefully I will be done with the prerequisites this year and can get on the waiting list. I have decided what I'm gonna do while I'm waiting to start my program.. maybe get my dental assisting certification... or just take more college credits. Just whatever will work best I guess. So this semester I am taking Human Physiology with a lab, Chemistry, Microbiology, and Sociology. And after I'm done with those (if I get good enough grades) I will have Math, Micro with a lab, Chem with a lab, and maybe an english class- not sure about that one yet. My physiology might kill me though. That's for sure.
Enough about school though- we will be lifetime students it seems like between my dental hygiene and McCall is planning on getting a Masters degree later. ugh! so much school! anyways... I scheduled my surgery finally. I am getting my Tumor removed on April 26th. I'm not quite nervous yet because it seems really far away but I've never had any surgerys other than a colonoscopy (if that counts?) so the idea of going under the knife kinda freaks me out. I'm supposed to be off work 4-6 weeks but hopefully I will have a speedy recovery and be back sooner than that. I am also getting my teeth fixed this year... again. I am getting 4 teeth removed while I am off work for my hand.. so that will be a total of 8 teeth pulled in less than a year! crazy I know! good thing McCall is a good nurse and can take care of me- I'm kind of a wimp! The orthodontist says my teeth are too narrow and thats why they went crooked again was because there isn't enough room in my mouth for all my teeth. So he is pulling 4 teeth and then I get braces on a couple weeks later. The braces will fill in the gaps from the missing teeth and make my bite wider.. more like a U shape instead of a V like it is now. He did McCall's teeth when he was younger and did a way good job- they let me see his dental impressions from before and after his braces and it was amazing! I never would have guessed that McCall's teeth were so bad before- he has such a nice smile now that you would never have guessed it. McCall just keeps telling me how expensive I am.. he says I'm worth it though so hopefully we'll be ok. It's gonna be expensive to miss 6 weeks of work and have to pay for the surgery. Then on top of that we have to pay for my braces too. I feel kinda bad that I am doing it all at once but it will be better this way. I am grateful I have such an understanding husband who really has my best interests at heart. It's not like it's my fault I grew a tumor and have horrible teeth. I'm just glad he sees that it's important to me to fix these things. It's not like I could just leave the tumor in there anyways. My teeth will be a good investment in my career too. No one wants to hire a dental Hygienist with crooked teeth. :)
As always I keep getting that itch to move.. or find a new job. I just have issues being content. I like change. And so I constantly try and change my surroundings to something new and exciting. It would be dumb to move though with McCall almost done with school and it would be dumb to change jobs when I have such a great one already. So we are staying put and maybe if my hand has issues I will be forced to find new employment. I have actually found some pretty tempting jobs lately but I can't apply because I have school in the mornings and most of them are mon-fri 8-5 type jobs. So I'm trying to stay content and stay put where I am. I really don't have anything to complain about. Our place is way nice and I work with awesome people. Life is great! I'm just weird I guess. Oh well! Things are crazy though- we lead very very busy lives. Lots of things have happened in the new year already.. sad news.. and very very very exciting news! (not telling though! *and no I'm not pregnant- I know that is everyones first thought lol!) starting school.. valentines and our anniversary are coming- way excited! tests and homework.. trying to keep up with friends. Just craziness all around! So I'll try and be better with posting so that my posts aren't like novels when I finally get around to it. I feel so out of touch with the world though with all our craziness so feel free to shoot me a text to catch up- I am always up for a chat with old friends! :)
