Hallelujah!

Logan and Dylan have finally found interests that do not include video games! Logan had Music Appreciation last semester, and the teacher really made an impression on him. He signed up for beginning band, and is now learning to play the flute. He said he has always liked that instrument, and wants to learn to play. He is even taken some ribbing from other kids, who tell him it is "gay" for him to play the flute. I asked him how he handled that, he said when a guy on the bus said that to him, he just shrugged, grinned, and said, "I know". I can just see him doing that. He told me he didn't care what anybody said about it, that was the instrument he wanted to play. My baby is growing up.

Dylan joined the Jr ROTC, and is very excited about it. He learned the creed in a couple of days, and has his uniform. He even got a buzz cut with no arguments. All he talks about is "ranking up". Pop is so proud of him. Says he can help him learn to march and stand tall. Dylan said he is the newest member, so his patch doesn't have a rank yet. His nickname is "FuzzyPatch". Apparently, every new member gets a nickname that will stick with them through school. My baby is growing up....

They will be 15 this month. Hard to believe, they still seem like my babies. I guess they always will. They are growing into fine young men, and I am so very proud of both of them.

School for me starts this Tuesday. One class, one night, from 5:15 to 10:15. I can't even imagine how this is going to be....5 hours? I just hope I can bring coffee...lol....

Also, I have lost 16 pounds since December 5th. With the help of Phentermine, drinking lots of water, and the 2 girls I work with, it has not been too hard. It is just a start, but it's a pretty good start.
