Today I did a lot of reflecting. (I had lots of time to do so, because little man Ya'shar had a fever of 102.1 and he got spend the day on the mend with me!) He's hoping to be better by tomorrow morning, frantic, is the word actually. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it wasn't looking good for us to go gallivanting off to the ocean on the field trip that we've both been looking forward to for weeks when he has a cough and a runny nose and still a bit of a temperature... We prayed. We'll look for the miracle in the morning!
But anyway, back to reflecting. So I graduated high school TWENTY years ago this month! Quite the trippy realization! And it was 16 years ago this very day that I had my nurse's pinning - ON my birthday, how special was that?! Our college graduation ceremony was held the next day on the 11th and I bounced off the stage with my Bachelors degree. And here I am, 16 years later, married with 5 beautiful children, and preparing to go back to school AGAIN!!!!!
Yes, I'll be getting started on my Masters degree this fall - and hopefully will be done by the time I'm 40. A nice little goal I've set for myself. I might be 40 and 11 months and 29 days, but hopefully still 40! It's a good number to complete something big on, I think. So in the mean time, I'm cramming for the GRE, and wondering what I've gotten myself into, and chasing the butterflies in my tummy, and getting more and more excited at the possibilities this will bring as well, and pretty much just thanking God for blessing me so much. Especially with the most amazing husband that He picked out for me.... He is my biggest fan, and my, how I love him!!
And speaking of loving people, David is coming home tomorrow!!! We have him all to ourselves for the next 2 months till we have to share him with his final semester of law school, but hey, I think that's a fair trade....
Let the summer fun begin!!!!
