Education Update

Ok so it is about time that I update everyone that might not know. I have decided to go back to school. I am redoing my bachelors degree at St. Catharine. They have great hands on education program. I have started taking classes this semester. I am taking 3 classes one of the classes is where I get to spend the whole day at Bardstown schools in the morning I am at the primary school where I get to be kindergarten and in the afternoon I am at the elementary school where I get to work with 5th grade. I will be going every Wednesday, but not today because Bardstown schools were out for snow. I am loving both of my other two classes one is about how kids learn and what they need to learn and the other one is about positive discipline. I really like both of these classes and I am enjoying exploring them.

TOO BIG!

Over the weekend my sister and I went to pick up our bridesmaids dresses for my cousins wedding. Both of the dresses did fit but mine was way to big. They say that they will be able to take it in but that I should wait until Oct. to have it done because of the fact that I am losing weight. This is a good thing. I would post of picture of what it looked like but if I put it on here it would be bad. The dress literally hangs off of me. This is good thing, better to be do big then to small and me have to loss so many pounds in order to get into the dress.

Weight Loss

This week Jon and I joined Weight Watchers online. We have both decided that we would like to change our life and our health. We both know that this will not be a quick or easy process but it is some thing that we feel we need to do for each other as well as our family. We are hoping that everyone will cheer us on as we do this. I know that this will work as long as we stick to it and I know that it is not a diet but a life style change. I also know that there will be ups and downs during this process. We will keep you all posted as we go through our adventure.

Turning 26

So yesterday I turned 26. My husband did a great job of trying to make it a special day. But I was a poo pooh head about the whole thing, and for that I am sorry Jon. Now to figure out why I am being such a downer about my birthday it is not like I was turning 30 or anything it was just 26 there is nothing big about that number. I think it is because I am feeling very unsettled about my life right now. When I say unsettled it has noting to do with my family or friends, I love them all very dearly and would not change a one of them for anything. I mean more with my goals and where I thought I would be in life. Where I am to day 26 and one day is no where that I thought that I would be at this point in my life. I thought that I would be in a career that I loved but I am not. I am just it a job that is OK but not what I want to be doing. Shortly before my birthday I found some papers that I had gotten from U of L's grad program. Some how I had gotten it in my head that I only needed 3 classes before I could get in. When I found the papers I found that I had been wrong. I need about 6, so then I keep thinking to myself is this goal that I put out there for my self even reach able. What else will I have to put on hold in order to see my dream come true. Is it fare of me to ask my husband to put thing on hold so that I can do this. So today I am reevaluating my goals and dreams. Will I become a teacher by doing the grad program at U of L, will I redo my under grad and become a teacher that way or will I even go on with this dream of being a teacher. I guess only time will tell. But for now I think I am allowed to be down about this realization of my dreams.
