Spring break...

Well, it's half-way through the semester, and everybody knows what that means....SPRING BREAK!!! I've got BIG plans for this week. So far, I've worked 18 hours the past 2 days, and I'm heading back in to work again this morning. I usually work in the afternoons, but since I don't have class I thought I would get work taken care of in the mornings. Plus, I told a certain little someone that I would be there when her mom came in to work out this week. I missed her yesterday though, because our staff meeting ran over. Sorry Brookie!!! 3 year olds bounce back pretty easy, so I don't think she'll be too mad at me.

About school...

Last week there was a class that I was pretty frustrated with because I wasn't able to turn in my final assignment the way it was suppose to be. I finally got it turned in, and I tried to talk to the instructor, but he was sick the end of last week. So I figured I would just wait and see if he accepts it, what grade he gives me, then dispute it if it didn't seem fair. I checked my grades yesterday morning, and it turns out that he accepted it and gave me an "A". I was pretty excited! And I looked this morning for the other class that ended last week, and I ended up with a "B" in it. I thought I was going to finish with a "C" in that course, but there were a couple homework assignments that she hadn't posted yet, so it brought my grade up.

About being an uncle...

Casey sent this really cute picture of Ainsley to me yesterday, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw it. She has started pulling herself up on things now, and sometimes she gets to a point where she can't move. She got caught in a semi-split, and Casey and Erin decided to take a picture of her before they helped her out. Check it out...



You can't help but smile when you see this and think about what has to be going through her mind!!!

Have I ever mentioned that I love being an uncle???

School...

So yesterday was a rough day. I got an email through my Blackberry around 11:30 PM Monday night stating that all the assignments for one of my online classes were due by 10 AM Tuesday morning. This was a shock, since as far as I knew they weren't due until Friday. So I only got 4 hours of sleep that night. Then, when I tried to submit them, the website to submit them through wasn't working right. So I had issues with that. Oh well, it was pretty lame. Now I'm waiting to see if the instructor will accept them since they didn't get there the way they were suppose to until about 2 hours after the deadline.

Mom came out to visit last weekend. We went and saw King Tut and got our names written in hieroglyphics. We didn't go a whole lot of different places, because her main reason for the visit was to see Ainsley anyway...it just was convenient that Casey, Erin, and I live out here too! Well, I know it wasn't like that, but it gave alot of laughs to people when I made that little joke. She was suppose to leave Monday evening around 5...or so we thought. We were about to walk out to lunch, when she looked at her boarding pass and saw that she was suppose to leave at 12 noon...and it was 11:50. Needless to say, she wasn't going to make it. We had been looking at the departure time of her connecting flight.

I'm halfway through my last semester, and I can't wait to be done! I'm already starting to look at my options for when I get done. We'll see what happens. I'm also entertaining the idea of getting a new car when I graduate.

No really cool uncle stories this time. The only thing I have to tell is that Ainsley is making little squealing noises now instead of growling. Casey and I have been trying to get her to growl again, but I think it's hopeless.

Ok, I'm gonna try something, and I hope it works. I'm hanging out at Casey's the other night while Erin and Ainsley were out of town, and I get a video message from Kory. She said CJ had been asking about Uncle Curt recently. Somebody let me know if this video doesn't work...



She's showing me Tinkerbell on her card and waiting for a response. That's the cutest part...she's talking to me like I'm going to tell her that I see Tinkerbell. Then, at the end, she asks Kory if my birthday is coming.

I haven't seen Ainsley since she and Erin got back from Florida, but mom is flying out Friday to visit, so I'm sure I'll be over there alot. I can't wait to see her! She is so fun to play with, and makes me smile.
