Back to School!!

For those of you that have been wondering what's going on....here it is. I'm going back to school!!! :-)

This is something that I've been thinking about for the last couple of years, but do to financial responsibility and other things, it was never the right time. Well, Chris and I have decided that 2009 will be the best time! With him being gone, I'll focus better and I'm sure this will make the time fly by!

So, I'm sure you're asking yourself...what am I going to school for? I will be going to become an LPN!! Eventually I'd like to be an RN....but I haven't decided if I'll go straight through for that or take a break. I'll be doing an accelerated program through Brown Mackie, which is in Akron and only about 10 minutes from our house. The program is 15 months long and if everything stays on schedule, I'll graduate in May 2010. I will be working from home part time and going to school full time. So with going to school, studying, working 30 hours a week, and going to the gym 3-4 days a week (want to lose 30-40lbs. by the time Chris gets home), I'll be one BUSY girl!

I'm super excited for this big change in our lives, but nervous at the same time. It's been awhile since I've been in school, but I know I have to do something with my life that I get satisfaction out of! Chris supports me 100% and I probably wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for his support and encouragement.

Classes for me start on Monday...wish me luck! :-)
