I have decided today that I will not be attending Full Sail anytime in the near future.
Although it is my dream to go to Full Sail and someday work doing some sort of 3D modeling this is not the time for that dream to happen. Many things weighed in on this decision. One of the largest factors was the fact that I would more than likely have to leave Arkansas after graduation. Julie and I both love Northwest Arkansas and a large part of our families live here. We just do not want Jonah to grow up away from his extended family.
Another factor in the decision is that after my current two classes I will have completed 30 credit hours with University of Phoenix. Most or all of these credits would not transfer to Full Sail. That is just too much money to spend to not have it count towards something. On top of all that Full Sail has a very concentrated schedule. Each class would only last four weeks. With a new baby, a full time job, and my love for procrastination I think this would turn out disastrous right now.
It does make me sad because I have wanted to go to Full Sail since around my junior year of high school when I found out about the school, but now is just not the time. So for now I will keep focus on my software engineering degree at the University of Phoenix.
On the weight loss front I am happy to report that I am down to 256.8lbs. Just 57 more pounds to go!
Julie had another doctors appointment today for a check up. Like most of the visits this one was very quick. The doctor asks if there are any questions or problems we have. Which has been no this whole pregnancy. Luckily for Julie this has seemed to be a very uneventful pregnancy. Then they look over her chart checking her weight, blood pressure, and other information. They have commented every time how her weight gain has been perfect. Then they measure her and comment on how great that is too. Then to the fun part! They listen to his heart beat and comment on how strong it is. Then we are on our way. We are now on to the once a week visits and the due date is only 39 days away!
I personally think it is amazing that there is a child having a pool party inside my wife! It really crazy to think that when we are laying in bed and I have my hand on her stomach that our son is just inches away! I cannot even begin to express how excited I am to meet my son. As the due date approaches I find myself thinking more and more about him. I wonder what he will be like and if he will think that Julie and I are cool parents. I even have very parent like thoughts. One day I was driving to work and saw someone who had a flat. Instantly I started to think about how I needed to get a battery operated fan to put in the car so Jonah would not get too hot if the car broke down in the summer and we had to wait for someone to come help us. I am sure these are perfectly normal thoughts though.
We are also one class away from being done with Rory’s intermediate puppy class at Petsmart. If you have a dog take them through training classes. It really does help a lot. We are luck to have a great trainer so that helps a lot. I feel a lot better about having Jonah around Rory now that we have taken her through training. When we got Rory we thought she was just a lab, but later found out that she was a lab-pit mix. This worried me because you always hear about pits being bad around children and just being aggressive in general. Luckily our trainer also has a lab-pit and was able to ease my worries. Now that we have had Rory for a while I know that she would never be aggressive towards a person. She loves people, adults and children, more than she does other dogs.
Looks like my little family is coming together very nicely.
