I have a truckload to share and doesn't know where to begin but I'll try my best to cover some of the important highlights of my two weeks of absence. Friday, a week ago, I had a minor surgery and thank Heaven my benign "abdominal nevi" was finally shaved off me. I had it for quite sometime but since it's not something to be alarmed, I didn't push for its removal. I am positive the procedure will cost us some big bucks but thankfully my dear dearest has a great health insurance and that trip to the surgeon didn't cost us a thing. It was done early in the morning and my Dermatologist was quick and precise it didn't take him long to remove it. Anyway, Montgomery wasn't part of the plan but we had an "impromtu decision" to make after the clinic. The four of us never had any breakfast (just picture how hungry we were) and so we planned to visit Ihop when everything was taken care of. The facility's location was out of town and they're an hour behind us, so we kinda stuck there to think where to go after the surgery. In a snap, my dear dearest thought of Montgomery and everybody agreed. By the time we got there, it's almost lunchtime which answered our growling stomach hahaha. Ihop's plan was aborted.

Weekend came and went and I was stuck studying for my two BIG Exams. I'm glad it was over and really made good grades on both of them. The middle of the week, daddy dearest took the kids to fish after Josef had his "Orthodontist" visit (he may need a brace after 6mos). "Creekstand Fish Farm" wasn't operating till Thursday to Saturday and so Jann, our baby girl, got cranky and disappointed when the three of them found out they have to make another trip. I was at school (thank Heaven, I don't have to deal with it hahaha!) but daddy dearest handled it so well. Thursday was Josef's appointment to his eye doctor. Another eyes exam and a new pair of specs which simply means pouring out some cash.......AGAIN! In the afternoon, Jann had her "salon appointment" at JC Penney. Glad I came home on time to tag along and be my dear dearest's sidekick hahaha. Just trying to make things a 'lil easier for him. After Jann's hairdo, we headed straight to have lunch at "Zaxby's" and then geared toward the fish farm.

Oh my, the main topic I am trying to cover is push to the side hahaha! I told you I have a truckload. Well, let me just embed here the fotos of Josef's epistles of recognition. I've been wanting to discuss about it since last month and here I am just now featuring about it. Thanks for reading and have a fun filled Friday to all !!!

Above foto (on the left) was Josef's "Finals Exemption Letter" from Middle School. Foto above, on the right, was sent to him from "Congressional Youth Leadership Council" and was nominated by his Language teacher.

Thnks a lot for your update Jeth. That was nice to hear your two weeks happenings. It sounds like life gets better [as a family] despites your heavy schedules....

you family life is still admirable despites of busy routines. keep up the wonderful work and enjoy what you love doing.

Your son is really smart. He's indeed making a name for himself. Congratulations Josef! You always did a great job in everything you do

Hi Jeth, you mentioned you wrote a thesis..can I ask what your topic was? I'm just wondering to get an idea of potential topics to think about. How many pages did you have to write and do you use APA style writing? I am not fond of all this research and although still early, it takes a long time to gather the information. We also have to present it. I am taking a nursing research class right now and everything we use has to be evidence-based practice. Is there a particular website you found most helpful? Any info would be great. This is a tough semester for me because I had to pass my comprehensive exam, continue with my studies, and started studying for the nclex RN.....take care & congrats!

It is always a great feeling to get exempted from any subject. So, for your son to exempt from taking his finals, that must be very exciting. He's truly a pride. He deserves my congratulations.

Congratulations to Josef for being on top all the time. I can see the bright future in front of him. He's definitely talented and always excelled. Way to go Josef!

Wishing you a lovely Saturday. I hope you have fun....
