David starts the first day of his spring quarter today. He is taking a bear of classes (well at least in my opinion.) He is enrolled in Monetary Economics, Upper level Managerial Accounting, Finance something-er-other, and Business Calculus. Yikes! However, he is excited. I am glad. That just means he is smarter than me, and I am completely OK with that!! I am so unbelievably proud of him. He is really doing it. Each quarter he starts and finishes, is just one step closer to graduation. I am not sure either of us thought we were really going to get through this season, but we are! One step at a time, we are slowly, making our way through. And yes, there will be a HUGE party once we are done! :)
Now, I do have some randomly exciting news... I joined the adult readers book club at the Bienville Parish Library. I did drop the average age down 40 years, and while I know you are disappointed in my news (because I am sure you don't think it is that exciting), I am! All you have to do is read twelve books by May 18, 2012. I totally got that. I am still keeping up with reading at least one book a week! So I know I can accomplish that goal. LOL. Yes, things are JUST that exciting in Arcadia! Arcadia is growing ironically, they have a new little strip center that has opened - it contains a bank, pizza place, tanning/clothing boutique, and a Mexican food place. Again, while you may not find this as exciting as I do - it is because you live in a populated area that everyone doesn't stare at you when you walk into ANY public building (restaurant, library, court house, church, gas station, etc.) I am not upset about this, because my husband now knows everyone in Arcadia, and while I still get blank stares towards me - they all chum it up with him, so some how - "I am OK" because I know him... gotta love small town USA!
I know one day, David and I will look back over 'the time we lived in Arcadia, Louisiana' and just laugh. There are so many things that still shock the socks off of me, and all I can do is laugh. I had a guy the other day tell me Arcadia was a little piece of heaven.... HA! I simply smiled and looked at him and thought, "my God is WAY bigger than Arcadia and calling this place ANYTHING but heaven!!" Too funny. I do believe that at one time, it was the most idealistic mayberry.... but those times are about 40 years gone... Like I said, now we just smile, and nod, and try to laugh about this place called Arcadia. :)
