all in

Finally, this morning I checked my grade book and all of my grades are in.  All A's!!!  My GPA is at a 3.9, I could almost cry reading that.  For those of you who are going to college trying to get your first degree, while having a family at home, I applaud you!  It is not easy to feel like you are being selfish by going after your own dreams.  Getting a degree is definitely one of my dreams, and I am so grateful to have people in my life that are allowing me to pursue that. 

I have decided, however, to not take any classes over the summer.  This is so I can finish working on the house and my purging to get ready for the baby to come in August.  I do plan on starting back up this fall, classes start in middle Sept.  I don't know how it will be having a 3 year old, a new baby, and classes....plus cooking, laundry, and all the other things that come with having a family. But I do know one thing, I CAN DO IT.  My best friend Trina bought me in inspiration book for Christmas and one of the quotes is "half of doing something is knowing you can do it"  I have it on my nightstand to remind me everyday that I can do whatever I put my mind to.  My son, and the new baby, and my family will always be my first priority, but there is always a space somewhere to fulfill your own destiny.  Whether you are in college, starting your own business, staying at home with your children, homeschooling, being active in your children's lives, or whatever you find yourself pursuing, please know that you CAN do it.  Life is about choices, priorities, and a whole lot of fun things.  Enjoy it all while you can.
