School is great. I got into that Accounting class that I needed to get into. It's taught by my adviser and also the Dean of the MBA school, so she knows that I absolutely have to pass to graduate school. Actually, I have to make a B, not just pass. This is the part that's hard. I have to make a B. Yikes. She sets up the class to make 13 quizzes, weekly. Then a final exam. She drops 2 quiz grades. I have to drop 1 because Vincent and I have an anniversary cruise and I will miss class. I have had 3 quizzes- first 58, second 75, and last week I don't have the grade but I know I at least made an A, if not a 100. I bought 3 extra books to help study. Seriously, I have more than enough help to get me to pass. I just pray that I can pass and make a B. It's going to be really hard, folks. Really, really hard.
So, the wood flooring hasn't happened yet. Vincent is dragging his feet and we probably won't get it for awhile because now his car is broke and he has to have that fixed and who knows how much that will cost. But I have a feeling that we won't be able to sell our house without it. I can't stand the floors. Vincent refuses to take the dogs outside on a regular basis when he's watching football so they piss on the carpet. Grrrr. Makes me so frustrated. They're house broken UNLESS someone keeps them from going outside. Obviously. Don't get me started. Our carpets are disgusting. I will only allow certain people over because I'm so disgusted by it.
Speaking of dogs, we need someone to watch the dogs while we go on our cruise. Any takers? We go from 10/24-10/29. My friend Lauren always watches them because she's awesome but she has 3 big dogs and a cat and I can't ask her to watch them again. If anyone can do it, we would really appreciate it. They are good dogs, once they calm down. They get excited about new people but after they get used to them, they're fine. They are house broken and easy to take care of. Bailey will even go up to the door when she needs to go outside. Lilly won't do that but she holds her bladder better than Bailey so if she goes out with Bailey, she's good. Think about it :)
So the latest around here was Tristan's surgery. He had surgery this last Tuesday on his eyes. He has really weak eye muscles and 1 eye was starting to wander. Since Vincent had this surgery at the same age, the doctor said that both eyes were weak and more than likely would need the surgery. If he didn't get the surgery then 1 eye would be lazy and lose all vision on it altogether. We decided to go ahead and get the surgery. It was nerve wrecking but passed by fast. It lasted about 1 hour from start to finish. We got breakfast, ate it, and went back into the waiting room as they were calling our names. His eyes were super swollen and that made me cry. But the swelling went down in a few hours and now his eyes are just red. That in itself is kinda freaky. Where the eyes should be white are red with blood. Every now and then he has a little bit of blood in his tears. The red eyes should only last 2 weeks at most. The pain from the eyes only lasted a day so he's good now. But the chance of infection is high so we have to make sure his hands are always clean and that he puts in special eye drops daily. Other than that, everything's good.
This last weekend we watched David and Becky's kid- Gideon. It was their anniversary- Happy Anniversary, David and Becky!! But we watched Gideon Friday and Saturday night. The kids loved it- all of them! Playing together wore them all out. Gideon was such a great influence because he can walk a lot better than Caleb so Caleb was totally trying to imitate him- I loved it! We had so much fun with him! I can't wait till we watch him again. I took a lot of pictures but they were moving so much that it was hard :) Here are the good ones
Super cute bum pic, but I had to cut out the bums for obvious reasons
Gideon tired of taking pictures, ready to take a bath :)
