I'm back and ready to TYPE!

Lol hey guys! Thanks to my amazing brother-in-law I am finally back in action and on the Internet again! I must say that until you are cut off from the Internet world you don't realize how vital it is as part of your life.

I wanted to blog tonight to fill everyone in with the small things that have been going on in the fun life of Matthew and Kasey!

First and foremost, just to give some of you peace of mind, Zappa has had no further seizures and seems to be doing fine. This is huge due to the fact that when or if she has another one we will have to start her on medication that can cause her to become even more lethargic then she already is. (For those of you who know her, you already know that could be interesting for a lack of better words.) The medication can also cause her to think that she is hungry all the time, so we are thankful for small blessings that she has not shown any more signs of seizures.

In the school world I can definitely brag a little considering I made a 91 on my first medical terminology test, an 86 on my first Art Appreciation test (scary!) and an A on my first American Sign Language test (numerical grade not yet known). So yay for me!!! For my parasitology class we only have a midterm and a final so I haven't and won't take one of those for a couple more weeks. Oo and another cool thing is that I can now play my first song on the piano! It's amazing but learning to read music is not near as hard as I thought it would be. (I have to confess that even in band I never really learned to read music, I memorized the fingerings and sound that went with each note but never knew what note was which letter.) I am now truly learning to read the music and am loving it!!! I wish I would have taken one of these classes earlier! My piano professor has put me on a fast track to learning piano because she could tell that I was ahead of my classmates when it came to knowing about reading music. (knowing beats, rhythm etc.)

As for Matthew, I must say that I am extremely proud of him! He is currently getting ready go to the job fair in which he will interview for internships. We are particularly hoping for a paying internship in Missouri. A couple of weeks ago we went to Men's Warehouse and bought 2 new designer suits. His interview is on the 11th and we are picking the suit he will wear for the interview on the 10th (due to alterations)...lol yea we know, cutting it a little close! We also bought 4 new shirts for his suits. That in it's self brings to mind a story.

When we walked into the store we were initially thinking we would pick out a few shirt colors that we thought looked best on Matthew, sounds simple right?! Lol, shows how little we know about the business world! Upon walking into Men's Warehouse we are greeted by a woman representative, who asks us what we are looking for. We tell her that we are looking for dress shirts. She then measures Matthew's ever growing shoulders and then proceeds to take us to the dress shirt section. Immediately we start oo'ing and ah'ing over the colors that we like best. The representative then asks us, "So what is the occasion?" We simultaneously respond, "Interview." The lady then asks, "What profession?" again we reply, "business." She then replies, "Your shirt choices will need to be either White or Blue." We then go on to learn that those are considered "Power Colors"...ooo how close we were to a big mistake. When she then realizes that we had never heard of that rule she also informed us on the tie color rule to business interviews as well. Tie "Power Colors" are considered to be Red and Blue I believe. (I know red is right, I can't say I'm 100% correct on the blue.) So at the end of our shopping spree, we came away with not only very valuable clothing but very valuable business information. I can't help but think what colors we would have picked out had that lady not helped us. (I think I was leaning towards lavendar and yellow shirts, which I must say we did get but not for the interview.)

On another note I can happily say or well shout to the world....I AM NOW A SIZE 8!!! WOOHOO! I've been able to fit in a size 8 but as most of you know I don't like my jeans to be tight, so I can now comfortably fit into a size 8 jeans, and not just any jeans but skinny jeans!!! Yes, I bought my first pair of skinny jeans and am starting to think that I like the look of them on myself. I'll have to post a picture of me in them along with the couple of new shirts I bought to go with them.

As for the not so happy parts of my life, I am having to get my wisdom teeth pulled along with a deep cleaning on my teeth that takes up to 2 hours. Yuck! However, there is always something good that comes from most bad situations, mine is that I get to get the stupid bar off the back of my bottom teeth! SWEET! (By the way Mom, I'll send you the info for the dentist tomorrow, you'll want to call them soon though.)

Well I think I've pretty much filled most parts of our story in over the last couple of weeks. I'll definitely keep you guys better updated now that I have my computer back!

Love You All,
Kasey
