Here's that Long one

Since I don't have to work till four tomorrow and I'm not really tired, I guess I will give an update.

I think the thing that is most exciting and new is that Jon's older sister announced today that she is pregnant with her second baby! I'm really happy for her because Tyler is 3 and change now. This is Grand kid number three for Jon's parents (Jon's brother has a little 8 month old boy) and everyone (myself included) is hoping it's a girl. Not that I don't love Tyler and Fintan, but I want to make girl things! I know it probably seems strange but in September I will have been with Jon for two years and I feel like I've known these kids their almost their whole lives (With Fintan it has been his whole entire life.) Anyway, I already feel very connected to them. Tyler already has called me Auntie Kelly. Now I know, I know this is not the first time I've had this title with a boyfriend's nephew. However, the difference is that in past the parents were pushing it and it made me uncomfortable. This time it happened on it's own through his mouth. He ran over to me on Christmas and thanked me and called me that. That means more to me than if Heather and BJ told him to say that. I've been in his life since he was just shy of two years old. He might not know any better, but in any case... I am constantly proven that I belong in this family. It's only a matter of time...

Okay enough sappiness.

In other Jon's family related news, he may be buying his brother's house! WOOOOT! Now if a job would just open up...oh wait...it's Connecticut and America and the economy sucks! God? Could you grant Jon TWO miracle opportunities?

My hand really effing hurts but that could be because I write everyday of my life for hours...My rough draft of Manumit is pretty close to done. Two months? Have I turned into Bach, or Mozart or James Paterson...hahaah. Busting out these drafts like I'm a machine? Guess I should enjoy it now...because in September...life beyond Elementary Education is OVER.

Also, I've lost 8 pounds! WHAT? Finally! I've only been dieting and working out since January! To be honest I've stepped it up a shit ton. I work out 3-4 times a week and I've pretty much stopped eating out (Like once every other week if that). Also on a New BC pill so that might be helping too, but whatever it is. THANK YOU GOD it's making me feel great. Oh yah and my clothes fit better too. :)

Sorry for Bragging.

I graduate in 31(?) days which is getting intense. My last Acabella concert is Thursday and I have one big paper before my finals week work begins. It's certainly been a long and crazy road, but I suppose that I wouldn't have it any other way.

Life has been good lately. <3
