School starts for me next week so I thought I would write a lil before I didn’t have time to.
This semester marks my last year in this program. I am VERY excited to be done!!!
When I first started college, I thought I would get my associates degree and stop there.
I figured as long as I had that I could take care of me and Taylor forever.
So far I was right. Taking x-rays pays the bills. But after working at MUSC for about a year I realized that I would be stupid to NOT go back to school!!!
MUSC has a tuition reimbursement program. All I had to do was go back for something that would further my career and they reimburse me for most of the cost of tuition. That’s why I decided to get my Bachelor’s. To me it was free money sitting out there waiting to be used by anyone smart enough to utilize it!! Granted when I graduate I wont immediately get any raises or be promoted to any new position, but ill have my degree and later down the road I can decide how im going to use it!
I have even started thinking about going back after all of this is over. Maybe taking a year break and then see if I want to take the next step!
As much as I complain about it, I have found that I actually enjoy school.

Jack
So, I just thought i would update.
On 8-5-2009 Jason's best friend passed away :*(
His name was Jack and he was in our wedding.
This is a guy my husband has known for most of his life. The only way they these two could have been any closer was if they were brothers.
Needless to say, Jason is taking this pretty hard.
I'm trying to be there for him as best i can, but i know nothing i do will take his pain away.
It sucks seeing the person you love with all your heart hurting and not being able to do anything about it.
We took an impromptu trip to Jersey for the funeral.
It was heartbreaking.
This was a man who has touched soooooo many people!!!
He was doing better than he ever had and he got cut short!
He played on a baseball team and even though he had no children, he was great with them!
He was uncle Jack to his brother's kids and to Jason's!
He was even Neiko's godfather.
It was so moving hearing all the stories from everyone.
I am sad to say i didn't get to know him as well as i would have liked.
And i had NEVER seen the wild jack that i had heard so much about!
At the wedding he did a wonderful job as one of the groomsmen.
After reading some things he wrote, i realized what an amazing mind he had!!!
He was a sharp as a tack and never lacked sarcasm!!!
He was never afraid to tell you how it was even if you didn't want to hear it!
The viewing was probably hardest on Jason. Seeing his friend lying there and knowing he would never get to see him again.
Later that night on the way home we heard Freebird on the radio. That was jack's song! They even had it playing at the viewing!!!
Before the week was up we heard that song 3 more times and a number of others that were well known as his songs!!
Each time i heard the songs i wanted to cry.
I truly feel like he was letting Jason know that he is still here with him looking after him.
It is going to be a very long time before my husband recovers from this (if ever)
All i can do is be here for him the only way i know how.
We miss you jack.
Your pal is not the same without you.
Rest in Peace.
Love
Kim
