I'm a college kid again! I'm so stinking excited! I'm taking 4 classes this fall and will do a mini semester over Christmas break before starting in the spring.
Ricky thinks I'm crazy, everyone thinks I'm crazy for taking so many classes but I'm all ready crazy so I might as well be full blown insane, right?
My birthday is about 2 weeks away and I will be the big 25. I'm freaking out. I just keep thinking I should have done more by now. I for sure should have finished my degree. It is really bugging me. 25 is an age where your not a kid anymore. No more excuses. So with all of that, what have I done? Yes, my children are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I did buy my first house at 21 but when you hit 25 it really makes you look at the whole picture. When I was a kid my goals were: go to a major university (UT), become an architect, get married at 25, and then have babies. Well, that obviously didn't happen and I'm so happy I did get married at 19 and have my babies at 23 but I still have so much to accomplish. The most important thing to me is leading by example for my children. If I expect them to go to college then I sure better have a degree.
This is the perfect example of letting God lead your path He has paved. Starting school again I'm much more thankful. This is the first time ever that I've qualified for financial aide and I qualified for 100%! I feel like I'm a lot more maturer and will give this my all. I have a plan and know step by step how I can and will accomplish it. It feels so great! I keep thinking how awesome it will be the day I graduate and my babies will be there! That is why I'm so excited because now everything I do is for them.
Ricky watched the kids all day today so I could go to the doctor and get school situated. I am thankful that I was able to have the day to take care of my stuff without hauling the kids around in the heat.
My next big goal: Running. I've never in my life been able to run. Not when I was 90 pounds cheerleader or as a younger kid but I've got to start. Figure it out. I really want to run a marathon. Just a 5K but I really want to do it! Anyone have any tips on how to get going? If so, email me.
The other awesome thing going on in my life is starting in September I have 2 Bible study classes twice a week during the day. The kids will stay in the nursery during this time. I can't wait to attend! I will also start a workout routine at the church (they have a full gym like if you were to go to a big name brand gym) there and offer specialty classes. They offer child care in the mornings as well.
The way I've been able to adjust our calendar is like this: 8am-10:45am Monday- Friday we are at the church for me to workout, Tuesday & Thursday mornings Bible study, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Noon-4:45pm the kids have therapy, Thursday afternoons are for specialist appointments for the kids, Fridays are free except for once a month the Nutritionist comes out to weigh the kids and go over their plan. That equals 4 busy bodies but I'm confident I can fit in my classes at night and on the weekends. We do have our house cleaner back- thank you Jesus! Ricky does the dishes and I do laundry but we do switch chores once a month or so, so everything will be covered! At least I sure hope!
Please keep all of us in your prayers. Also, I can't say what Ricky's stuff is right now but I will ASAP- please keep him in your prayers that God's will be done and that our family benefits from whatever that will may be. We are continued to be shown such favor such blessings. It is truly amazing.
Krista
I am MOM hear me ROAR!
