Updates, updates, updates

I just realized that I have not updated you on my test results. Shame on me! I think the excitement just took over my brain that I forgot to post how I did. But since I haven't done that, I think I will post a few updates.

First and foremost....I PASSED!!! I was playing on e-mail on Monday morning (2/2) when I hit refresh and there staring me in the face was an e-mail message with a subject of "Your ETS TExES Scores". I knew what it was but my fingers sort of froze and wouldn't let me open it for about 5 minutes. Once I finally got up the courage, I realized the scores were in a PDF attached to the e-mail. Once again, I was frozen until I finally opened the PDF. But did I look at the PDF after I opened it? No.....I just let it sit open in a new window until I finally willed myself to look at it. Boy was I thrilled when I did. I first saw the word "Passed" and then saw the score was 278/300. I almost fell over. All I need to pass was a 240 and I had been asking God for only a 240. I had no reason to be greedy. But to see I scored 38 more points. Awesome!!! I sure wasn't going to complain. The thing I was most excited about was that I only missed 3 questions on the Math section. Given that I am hoping to teach middle school math, it was nice to see I did very well on that section. Thanks again to all my prayer warriors and supporters. I know it helped!

Second....Baby Reese still is quite comfortable inside my big belly. Today I am 39 weeks and 1 day. I went to the doctor last Tuesday and had dilated almost 2 centimeters. I was measuring 40 weeks and Dr. Smith said that Reese was head down but she was still sitting high and had made no move to "drop". She also estimates that Reese is already about 8 pounds. So we are still waiting. I am enjoying resting and having some free time as I know that will quickly come to an end once Reese gets here. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday and will provide an update either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Finally....Bailey has moved up to Pre-School 2. She was visiting the last week in January (which means spending half a day) and officially moved up on Monday (2/2). She's not really happy about it. We always have a hard time when she transitions and it usually takes about 3 weeks or more before she realizes the teachers don't have fangs and the class is actually fun! At least her Prince David is in there. I think that helps her - a little.

So those are the Sharp Family updates. The latest and greatest. Happy Saturday!
