March...

It's March and I haven't updated since February...

Life is going pretty well right now for the Mdivanian's. I am done with my third quarter of graduate school and only have one more left. I have my comprehensive exams on Friday so hopefully they go well. Everyone tells me they will so they better be right!

Tigran has started back to school again and is currently sitting next to me reading. He is taking a business class right now and I think is actually enjoying it a little. Next quarter I have my final three classes which are working with adolescents, crisis intervention, and child welfare policy. Everything but crisis intervention sounds interesting...I'm not sure if I would be good at crisis intervention...I think not because I like to have time to think.

I'm heading to Chicago in about a week to see Rachel! I'm very excited because I have never been to Chicago. Hopefully Tigran will behave himself while I'm gone...unfortunately for him I think he works the entire weekend.

I've had to retire as a babysitter as well...at least as a weekly babysitter. My class, internship, and GRA schedule just didn't leave room anymore for babysitting. I will miss all of my little guys. I hope that when I have kids they are boys b/c at this point I'm not really sure what do with girls.

Our membership to the local gym is working out well. We have been going an average of 3 to 4 nights a week. Everyone there is really nice and its so close and covenient. Tigran is a great runner I have realized so I hope our kids get his running ability. He ran 3 miles at I believe an average of 8 miles an hour. I don't think I could ever do that so I'm amazed by that right now. We have begun lifting weights as well which adds an extra half hour to the workout but seems worth it.

In apartment news...haha...we bought a bookshelf from crate and barrel. We already have filled our other two in the office so we put one in the living room. Its the new style that leans against the wall. It was more difficult than we thought because of our old crooked floor but Tigran got it to work. So now we have our pretty books and scrapbooks on it but are leaving room for a few art pieces such as a vase and hopefully a small world globe. I also am saving for a rug from Pottery Barn for the dining room. I'm about 3/4 of the way there thanks to Tigran's dad who got me two gift certificates.

My fish is still alive but still struggling. I'm really beginning to get depressed when I see him...sometimes I think I should euthanize him but then other times I think it would be wrong because I actually don't know if he is suffering. Although I'm guessing fish don't like swimming upside down and laying on their heads!

Well it's 11:35 and I should be getting to bed!
