As some of you already know, I finished my first college course in Computer Science and got 100%. After all the stress of not knowing what I was doing and no one to help, I finally found an 18 year old girl who was able to teach me a lot about excel and a little about power point. I am going to miss the teacher I had - Mr. Fisher from Texas was incredible. Now as of yesterday I began 2 new classes. One is on general science and the other on health care programs. My major is Hospital Administration and medical billing. I will graduate hopefully the end of November 2010.
Also, we have finished the paperwork to become foster parents again for the purpose of Adopting Isaiah. We had him in our home from the time he was 2 months old until 22 months, when the judge gave him to his mother while finishing drug rehab. She had him for 3 years and then he went back into the system. We were not informed of this and moved out of the area for a while. Heavenly Father put things in motion to get us back here to Imperial, Ca. and now in less than 2 weeks, he will be living with us again! Hopefully to be adopted and be ours for eternity.
David is working 3 days for free for the state of California and Mr. Arnold Swartzenegger wants him to work another 1 to 2 days for free. He said that unless we are losing our homes we are not suffering! Unbelievable! I'd like to see him try to live on less than $4,000 a month!
Anyway, David is losing weight and even though he has water on the knee, he is running 6 days a week on his treadmill. He is running 5 or more miles a day and the pounds are really coming off. Pretty soon, he will be able to stop taking the medication for his type 2 diabetes. What a great blessing that will be. We will however, keep eating the way we have adjusted because of the diabetes - it's just healthy. I also continue to lose weight although slower than David at this point.
We are extremely busy with school, work, church callings (David is the Young Men's President) in the ward and I am the ward activities chairman. Now with an almost 12 year old too, we will be even busier. We are really feeling the blessings of the Lord in our lives and hope that as we try to better our lives, we will become who we are meant to be.
