One Week Left

In exactly one week, Kevin has to decide where he will go for school...will it be Rochester, Miami, or UMass? He's still waitlisted at UMass so we aren't sure about that just yet, but we are actually visiting Rochester in a few days to see how we feel! His Miami trip was stressful to say the least. Evangeline had been sick the entire week beforehand, and Kevin even called the pediatrician to make sure it was okay to leave. The doc had been under the impression Evangeline was sick with strep throat, fever, and cold. But I felt like it was worse, and that it was progressing to become pneumonia. The doc gave Kevin the go, and once he landed in Miami, not only was Evangeline still sick, but Elianna got a 103 fever! It was a hot mess in our home. Both girls went to ER, Evangeline had gotten admitted and was in the hospital for five whole days due to bilateral pneumonia (which is the worst it's ever been!) Kevin was out of town for the first time ever, and it was just exhaustin...

GRE scores update

I feel like I blinked and 2016 kinda fast-forwarded to November. And it's kinda strange, but I am in a VERY excited state of mind, and I think it has to do with the holidays. Woohoo! Halloween was a blast, and I cannot wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's!!! A couple of exciting things have happened, but one was a pretty big deal for me: I took my GRE!. Today I found out all my scores. Let's just say, based on the (lack of) time I spent studying for 2 weeks, I am genuinely surprised bc my scores were better than I expected! I'm competitive enough to qualify for all the grad programs I want to apply to once I am done with my post-bac (the main four I want to apply for are: CSUN distance program, NYU distance program, Chapman University, and Biola University) The way that the GRE works is that it's a multi-test that lasts for 4+ hours. It's EXHAUSTING. Honestly, I felt like by the end of it all I was losing my mind lol I also felt like I failed! I ...

This Is Us: Why It Hits Home

A little over two years ago, I was crying to my cousin because I had just found out I was suffering a miscarriage. Not only was it a miscarriage of a baby whom I was losing, but it was also the loss of a twin that Elianna would not grow up with. And when a person miscarries a twin early enough, the baby doesn't come out the way a typical miscarriage happens...the baby just gets reabsorbed into the mom and into the twin. "You should really watch This Is Us. The first episode is about a miscarriage too, except the character played by Mandy Moore loses a triplet." my cousin told me through her tears, as she comforted me since the wounds were so fresh. There are a lot of things within the show that I do not relate with: I never lost a dad to an unexpected death. I do not have an adoptive sibling or was adopted myself looking for a birth parent. I do not have an addiction to eating. But I could relate to miscarriage, and I do plan to adopt one day, so that's as far as ...
