My new journey

Several of you have been emailing me and asking me how school is going. So, I decided to create a blog and to use that to keep you all informed about what's going on with my new journey. I decided around Thanksgiving that it was time for me to make some changes in my life. I decided that my kids deserve a better life that what I can give them right now, so I enrolled in classes at Jefferson Davis Community College, here in Brewton, AL.

In January of this year, I started my first semester. My plan is to take all my core classes at JDCC and then transfer to Huntingdon College, School of Business and Professional Studies. Huntingdon offers classes at the JDCC campus in Brewton as well. The Huntingdon program is a little different, because there you take one class, one night a week, for 5 weeks and then you are finished with that class. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I will be completely finished with my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in about 2 years.

It's not a piece of cake to do this as I'm sure you all can imagine but my Mom and Stepdad along with my Dad and his girlfriend have been a big help! We created a schedule for them with the kids and they all help me out a whole bunch with the kids. I couldn't do it without their help! And I greatly appreciate it!! The kids have actually adjusted very well and have been super troopers so far! They are so cute when it's test time for me or when I have homework due, they want to know what I make on everything. And they are very encouraging and positive, always reassuring me that I can do this. It's so wonderful to have such amazing kids! Caitlin and Tristan are the light of my life and I love them so much! And everytime I get a little down and aggravated with the stress of going back to school, I just remember that I'm doing this for them.

So, be sure to check the blog periodically and I'll try my best to keep you all in the loop.

Thanks for all the support, the encouragement and the prayers! I love you all!!
