Grad School and the move

Hello everyone! The 10k went great, the move is pretty much over, and I got into grad school. So the 3 things I had going on are progressing. The move was Saturday, our friend Matt came over and helped Matt move the heavy stuff but everything else we packed into our huge moving truck. I got to drive the truck, which was really cool since it was like 15-16 feet. I think I would make a great truck driver!!!

I packed and moved from 7 am to late in the night and matt worked at 4am and then moved till late into the night.(Isn't my matt amazing?!) We were so tired that we slept so good that night. Sunday we were both so sore all over that it was pretty funny. We had a great mother's day spending it with the green's. It is really fun that we have 3 families living in this house now!!!

As far as Grad School goes, I am in a 6 week academy where I get 15 credits towards my master's. This is likely to be intense, but I'm very excited. My degree is Educational Leadership. I hope to work towards being able to be an administrator/principal but not any time soon. Thank you to my family for your prayers. I was so worried about not getting in, but I did, thanks. Its interesting to see how different my life is now from what I ever thought it would be. I turn 28 next month, have no kids, just married, and going to grad school. Each one of these is the furthest thing from where I thought I'd be at age 28. The Lord has such a different plan for me that I had for myself. This lesson I hope to teach my children. It is so important to prepare a girl like me for motherhood, but I was never considering working, living alone after college for 5 years, going to grad school, etc. Its important to teach motherhood but also remember that some of us must be mothers in other ways. We need to teach business, self reliance, and independence type things as well. Mother's Day is bittersweet for me- the world doesn't recognize me as a mother but I do!!! For whatever reason the Lord is having me nurture and care for other's kids now. That's where my mothering talents are needed and I'm ok with that.
