In my “new” life

That is how I feel after almost two years of going to school.  It has been a full time job being a mom and a student, so some things had to go by the way side during this time.  It was all I could do at times to meet the demands of both major areas in my life.  Let’s just say it could be a bit overwhelming.  But here I am with 18 classes behind me now.  Let’s also add a year of 8th grade homeschooling Cameron then a rough but successful 9th grade year at high school.  Sending Jason on a mission and a move.  Jeff too was going to school for his MBA and Jennifer was hanging on for the ride while the parents went to school and in her words “weren’t too fun”. 

So it has been a few years since even thinking about working on my blog.  But I have entered a new phase of my life with only my student teaching left to finish and then I will have something I never dreamed of accomplishing – a MLIS =  Master of Library Science, with a School Media Specialist concentration.  I thank the Lord first for carrying me in times when I just didn’t think I could do school or deal with family issues.  I thank my sweet family for their love and encouragement and eating the most simplest of dinners.  Also thank you to my extended family and dear friends for your support in this journey.  I am excited for the next phase and “fun things” to do!!!
