It's Been A While!

It's been a while and we've had a lot going on! Here's a small re-cap of my life since my last blog.
***Just a warning, some of thie pictures may gross you out...if you don't like it, then don't read it!!!***

Surgery- I had minor surgery on my neck back in March. I had a cyst on my neck under my chin. I've had it for about 5 years and it was the size of a pin head when I first notice it. Then over time (about a month's time) it grew to be the size of a golf ball! It was inflammed really bad and looked really nasty so the doctor ordered some tests and then cut it open and drained it. He taught Paul how to clean it and pack it. I had to pack it everyday 2 times a day for about a week. Now, it's closed and all that's left is some scar tissue. I go back to the Doctor on Thursday for a check up. Concert Fun- Paul and I, along with a group of PA students went to the 3rd Eye Blind concert at the Norva. It's a little small concert hall in Norfolk downtown. There's no seats, it's all stand up. So we stood about 2 rows back from the stage and listened to a great concert!
Work- I really enjoy my job. When I first started, I lacked the confidence of getting people to lease apartments. I would do this really awesome tour of the building and of several apartments and would end with just, "Thank you for coming in and I hope to hear from you soon." I went from that to, "Out of the apartments you saw today, which one did you want to reserve in your name." My co-workers are amazing and gave me a pep talk that made me want to earn some extra money. There is a bonus for every apartment leased and I'm finally at the point where I have earned a couple (once the people move in).

Easter Weekend/Birthday Celebrations- Some of Paul's friends had birthdays at the beginning of April so we got together to celebrate! We went out for drinks when i got off work and had dinner. Then we went over to Plaza Del Sol for kareoke! Paul sang Margaritaville and there was a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny! Paul and I went home the next day when I got off work to celebrate Easter with our families!
Family Weekend- Paul had family weekend at EVMS and that was fun to be a part of! On Friday they had a Pot Luck lunch at school and we mad an Italian Dip for him to take. It was all gone when he brought the dish back so it must have been a hit. Then on Saturday they had sports day. He played flag football and did an egg toss! It was fun to sit outside with other families and support our PA's! 1st Semester Down- Paul survived his first semester of PA school. He finished with ALL A's!!! I'm so proud of him! We had an end of 1st semester cook out at our apartment. We cooked on the grill, set the theater room up with Rock Band and had several games of pool going on. His class is a class of celebrations! They like to celebrate the little accomplishments! He had a week break and the 2nd semester started this week. We'll see what kind of celebration they do this time! Break in between- Paul had a break in between semesters. So we went to DC for a few days just to relax and have fun. My sister went with us! It was her first time going to DC! She had fun, I hope!!!
Next time, I won't wait this long to write!!!
