There's a bunch of new stuff going on in my life! ..where do I start..? *L* I spent 6 months at the begining of 2004 in Okinawa, Japan, helping to raise my new-to-the-world Niece and Nephew!

Justin and MinaBussa!

How cute are they?!?! I was SO happy to have gotten the chance to get to know them and my brother and his wife in such a wonderful place as Japan... And right now? I am currently living on my own in Marietta, Ohio going to school full time to get my ADN (RN degree) and working full time. How do I get from there to here..? *LOL* I'm not completely sure- but here I am! I've been living on my own for the past 4 months, and have only 2 weeks left in this symester of school. Unfortunately, my wonderful little Rio didn't make it.. There was a huge flood here in Marietta in September and I lost it in the flood.. :-( I did- however- get a litte bit of an upgrade.. :-)

So yeah- got a nicer car, but I miss the old Rio- it was such a good car to loose so early.. But I was working at the time when it happened, so I had other people move it as far from the hotel for me as they could, but it didn't do much good- it flooded all the way down to my apartment.. Talk about scared! But I never for a moment thought about leaving.. I love living on my own- paying bills suck, but I love the freedom (even if I don't do much with it *LOL*) But it's nice to know I'm doing it on my own.. My dad really helped me get on my feet and I owe him huge when I finally do graduate *L* But I miss them all so much, even being only 2 hours away.. *sniffle* Which brings me to my favorite person of all times: URIAH!!! :-)

He's such a huge part of my life and I miss him so much *sniffle!* He's getting SO big! And our Adoption hearing for him is in Febraury- *crosses fingers* Everything in our lives revolves around him- and I'm just SO happy that my family is growing so much! *gushes* Thank God for all the wonderful blessings in my life!!
