Getting There, Bit by Bit

Ok - made it through a whole semester...and made the PRESIDENT'S LIST!  I CAN do this! It has been a real challenge, complete with tornadoes, quitting my job, and a switch in majors, but I think I am finally on track.


On April 27th, my area,(heck, my whole state!) was ravaged by killer tornadoes.  Seeing the devastation made me long to be able to help like I never had before. My kids and I volunteered in disaster relief, and did what we could, but I knew I wanted to do more. After prayerful consideration, I decided to become an RN, and so, now, I am working to get into Nursing School.  I can clearly see God's Hand at work in my life, and I am so grateful!  My prayer is that He will enable me to affect the lives of others in a good way, and that I will overcome the parts of MYSELF that stand in the way of that.

Praise God, I'm on my way!

Starting over in 2011

Well, I just applied to college.  Again.  And I'm almost 40.  Just seeing those words scares me to death. 

With work, and the kids, and church, and couponing, and the housework; it feels like I work two full-time jobs right now, so I don''t know HOW I will also fit a full-time college career into it for the next two years.  But, with God's grace, and a great sense of humor, and, (PLEASE GOD) some kind of Financial Aid, I will make it through.  Right?

Well, we shall see how a Fabulous (Almost) Forty-Year Old will handle hanging with the Gen-?ers.  (I don't even know what they are called~!)  Here we go!
