Keep On, Keepin' On

I'm doing pretty well with dealing with my anger, now my emotions are another thing. When I get upset, sad, or mad, I feel that intense feeling much longer than most people do. My therapist, Shane, and I are working on Dialectical Behavioral therapy for me. Yes, I did begin this previously, but am trying again. I am trying really hard so I hope that I just continue showing improvement, whether I stumble or not, I just want to do this. For more Information on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy CLICK HERE. Shane got another job and he's still been doing tattoos. He's doing really well. He's been working out like crazy! I'll post a picture so you can see for yourself. I am really proud of his recovery and bounce back!

Missin' my babies... It's harder sometimes than others... But, the are definately remembered in our household! We have all 3 of their "Certificate of Life" hanging on our wall! Everyone who comes to visit sees their memory and we awaken everyday to them. I benefit the greatest from that, but Shane has also made comments. Still been working on school. After week 1 I have 100 % in University Composition and week 2 ends today! Until next time...

I finally got my results from the first block of classes of my college career. In Financial Planning, I ended up with a 85.03%, which is a B! Now, honestly I didn't put much effort into this class so this just pushes me to actually try next block. University Studies, didn't start out to well. By the 3rd week in class I had an 52%, because I had sent my assignment in on the wrong week on accident... Dang it! I did it my work but got absolutely no credit. Well I finished this class with a 87.77%, which is a B+... The best part is that my final exam was a personal ethics statement, one of which I fretted over... I got a 100%!!! Helllllll to the yes!!! Needless to say I am content with my grades and these stupid B's... Helps me see that if I would just try I could do much much better...

This and That...

School has been keeping me super busy. I am currently on week 8 so my first block of classes are almost complete. My grades are decent, with both above 80%! WOOO HOOO... Gotta write an essay and take my final exam still but that's about it. I have started working out again, Pilates and weights! :) I also am going to be starting boxing on Monday! I'm scared, but heyyyyyy at least I have my own personal trainer, Shane! :) And it's in the privacy of our own home! We have gotten to spend a lot of needed time with Shane's oldest. I love seeing them together. Shane is such a good dad. The younger two still aren't allowed to come stay with us, but hopefully one day soon. It's just so difficult. I mean Shane and I have been together for almost a year now and we are well into creating our life together... but we are continually missing two very important parts. I finally got to print out Heaven, Alijah, and Aaliyah's "Affirmation of Life and they are proudly displayed on our bedroom wall! :) It's awesome to look up in the morning... see those 3 frames, a picture of Shane and I, and a picture of him and his boys from earlier this year! :)
