Yay for reciprocality!

Sorry for the lack of an update for a while. Here's what's new:

- I received my acceptance letter from Ivy Tech last night in the mail. At this juncture, we are merely waiting for my transcript information and my FAFSA to come in. Even though I live in Kentucky, Boone County is considered part of Indiana, so I will be getting the benefit of receiving in-state tuition rates. Yay for reciprocality!

- My wife and I spent a very wet and rainy Saturday moving the last of my grandmother's furniture into our apartment. As some of you may know, my grandmother is now residing in a nursing home and her home is up for sale in order to pay for her stay until Medicaid will take effect. It was hard for the family to have to go through Mama's stuff and figure out what to do with it. There were so many happy memories made in her house and sitting here typing at what used to be her kitchen tabke is very hard. But I am happy that the nursing home that she is in, as far as nursing homes go, is the creme de le creme.

- I think the bank is getting ready to foreclose on my dad. It breaks my heart to think of the blood, sweat, and tears that he, Mom, and the rest of us shed for nought. But all of the things that I so fondly remember, whether it was the smell of the old wood stove in the winter or the irises by the old garden plot that bloomed every May is but the shadow of better things to come, both in this world and the next.

So that is basically the latest news in our lives. Abigail is growing like a weed (and her appetite as well). She now smiles and is starting to learn how to laugh. She also enjoys sleeping, much to the joy of her mother and father.
