Storms, School, and Stuff

I have been in Michigan for a week now. I was here for an ASCLD-LAB training class. I hope I passed the final exam. :o) The class was very informative and I learned a lot about criteria, policies, and procedures for working in a crime lab. I had the pleasure of meeting some great people in the field (MSP, DEA, etc.) and hope get to possibly get to work with some of them someday. The instructor of the class made information a pleasure to learn. Great Class AE!

It has been storming like crazy. Right now it is thunder and lightening outside. The other day it was raining so hard and the sky was so black that I almost had to pull over on I-69 West because I could not see a stinkin thing. I haven't driven in rain like that in years. CRAZY!!!!

I have been so busy while I have been here that I haven't had time for much. By the time I get home from school it is almost time for bed. Ha! The time change is killing me. It is going to be weird going back in time when I go home. The day is going to seem long. But, I am so glad that I will get to spend Father's Day with my hubby and Kaci. He sure does love his baby girl. And she sure does love her daddy. :o)

It's back to the grindstone on Monday...right after Kaci's 6 month well baby checkup. I can't wait to find out how much she weighs and see how long she is. She is growing up so quickly. I can't believe she got 2 teeth at once and never fussed about it! What a good baby!!! She is so good natured. She has such a wonderful personality. I love her.

Look at those Choppers

Kaci HAS TWO TEETH POPPIN THROUGH! I can't believe it! My baby has two bottom teeth coming in at the same time! She is getting to be my big girl! I love it!

She did well on the way to MI. She has been very good for Auntie Sherry. And her loves her some Uncle Brad! Chloe has managed to find several ways to keep her laughing!

The ASCLD-LAB class is great. It is a lot of information. I am learning a lot. A little nervous about the exam though. EEEK! Well, speaking of class, that is where I am headed. So...

Until next time.

The half-way point...

MY BABY GIRL IS 6 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!!!!!

I can't believe it. Where has the time gone. I am glad that I am camera happy and have literally hundreds of pictures of her. I think in March I took like 3 hundred and something. Now, I didn't say I was an expert. I just said I was camera happy! LOL

We are going to be packing out suitcase and carry on and heading to the Midwest. Yup. Training. But, at least I get to bring my life's purpose with me. I love her. She loves me. She is a little Kirsten. Her personality is so cute. And I still love that crinkle nose. And...she even hates peas like me! LOL

She is such a wonderful gift from God. I praise Him and thank Him everyday for my Kaci.

Until next time...

Time...

It seems that I don't have enough time. Obtaining my Master's Degree is soaking up all of my time like a sponge. Then there is work, that is taking up more of my time (but believe me I am NOT complaining). With 40 hours a week at work and 22 hours a week of school where is the time going? When will I have time to hang out with the family? People think that being married to the military is all glorious and fabulous. People are always under the impression when they find out my husband is Active Duty that I shop all day, blog all day, FB and MS all day, sit in front of the TV and eat Bon Bons all day, get manis and pedis all day, but they never assume that I work and go to school. Some people are so stupid! UGH!

Anyway, I am exactly half way done with my Master's as of today! Woot Woot! Only 5 more classes to go. While sitting doing some homework last night I actually pondered the thought of getting my PhD. Hmmm. It's only 3 years. We'll see.

Well, i am running out of time before work so I must go...Until next time....
