I am not sure why I haven't posted in well over a month.
I'm not that busy, though for the last 2 weeks I have been battling a cold and bronchitis..so that is yuck-o.
We went on a campus visit at USD in Vermillion, and Jim really liked it, as did I (can you say 3 coffee shops ON CAMPUS??)
We are both looking forward to moving there this June. We will be saying in family dorm housing (read:tiny) its basically one room is living/kitchenette and one room for bedroom and a tiny bathroom. I guess it is better than when I was looking at freshman dorms at a couple of colleges and the entire floor shared a big bathroom :)
The new kitten (Lizzie) is doing well. We are babysitting my mom and dad's dog while they are on vacation, and Lizzie is scared of the dog(bailey) -- so we will see how this week will turn out ;) lol
I've gotten so much sleep, and drank so much water in the last week. Holy cats.. I should be the picture of health :) lol
My brother's friend Ryan (a friend of the family really, actually) -- came back safely last Saturday from 16 months in Iraq. I am very thankful that he came home safe. On a leave last spring, where he was home for 3 or 4 days, the guy who does the job he usually does in his group was killed. Very sad. Again, we were thankful that Ryan was home safe, but to have to attend a friend's funeral while on leave is not good at all. So, welcome home Ryan, and here's hoping that your adjustment back to day to day civilian life is not too rocky... *hugs*
My brother was staying with us since June, and he moved out the first week of October. It is always nice to be able to help family out when they need it, but nice to see them move on and go back to just being Jim and I as well. So... that is about all that is new around here....
Also, I am not sure if I blogged about this yet, but my cousin is pregnant. I was there the day that she was born, and babysat her all the time... she feels more like a niece to me than a cousin. Anyway, she is 16 years old.... so, it will be a very rough start I am sure. We are all trying to be supportive, and I look forward to taking care of the baby if she'd like after she is born... I think that she has decided the name will be Makayla Angel Lee (lastname here) -- I was honored that she wanted the baby to have my name as her middle name. As I am sure anyone knows, Jim and I would love to have a child, but it looks as if it won't happen. It was very sweet of her to think of me, and to think that I am a person that she would like to turn to for help and advice with the baby. *warm fuzzies* She is due mid December. So far, everything looks to be well with the baby, and she kicks a lot, which should be a great sign...
Ok, enough blog blog blogging for me today. I hope to start working on our website again soon... www.jimandangel.com -- it isn't up and running (it might be, with an old version) -- but.. I intend to work on it as the nights and dark get long...
Take care all
Angel Chasse (again)
