Deep breath In.....Deep Breath Out...Deep Breath In...

So I am trying to remain somewhat calm but we just found out that there are 70 people applying to Mike's program at the University of Guelph and only 9 seats available. EGAT! Last year there were only 13 applicants and 6 seats available. Man alive! This is me from now on trying to have an optimistic point of view and saying to myself, if it's meant to be it will be (Although we sure could use all of the faith, hope and prayers we can get).

In other more exciting news, I had my first Accounting test this past Monday and got 96/100! WOO HOO! I really couldn't believe it. I am pretty proud of myself because it's not easy stuff. I'm quite enjoying this class so far so we'll see how the next 8 weeks go.

My 1st official mother's day was wonderful. Like I have previously mentioned, I had the opportunity to attend Time out for Women. It was exactly what this woman needed. Sunday morning I woke up to 2 dozen white and red stemmed roses along with a pancake breakfast. It was delish. I also received a great present...a new camcorder! I've been wanting one for quite sometime. I also got the most darling card from "Jack" that said "I'm just a pup, but i'll grow up and as I do, my love will too, especially for a mom like you" and then Mike wrote a little blurp on the bottom from Jack saying Sorry for all the poo! I died laughing and then started bawling like a baby. I have loved being a mother and watching my "little pup" grow up. I can't believe that he is 10 months already, almost a year old. Time has flow by and it's been amazing. I love my lil' Jack-a-loo and cherish everyday we get to spend together.

Only a couple of months left before my lil sis's wedding/when I get to see my sis Liz and her family. I can't wait. It should be an exciting summer..and the weather has been absolutely GORGEOUS this week. Bring on the summa, I'm a-ready! Here's some pics/video taken lately.

He loves staring at his reflection. He often kisses and talks to it.

Here I am Mom

I love his "sleepy" face.



He's going to kill me one day for this. Mike was changing his diaper and he just all of a sudden sat up.

You are awesome for being a mother and going to school. I could never do that. I don't think my brain can catch up to school work anymore...:)

Hilarious! I will be thinkign of you and Mike witht he whole application process, I know that it intimidating. hang in there and enjoy it, it will work out. Maybe there is the same program over the border, like NY or Ohio, you could be even closer to us! I wish I could go to Ty's wedding, but I won't have the funds :( I don't know when I will see you next?
