Wow! What a ride...

Hello everyone,

Wow! What a ride this all has been. Can anyone believe that the time has flown by as fast as it has. Another term already done and another one is soon to be on its way. That is so crazy to me. I am just looking to God above and am so thankful that I have made it this far and am able to continue onward. I truly never saw myself going back to school anytime soon, but when Kaplan called it just felt like it was time, and so here I am now. The experiences that I have been through have inspired me to go on even further when I am done with the MA program at Kaplan. I am hoping to attened the COT (College of Technology) here in Missoula and finish out my RN degree. I think that this is heading my in the most right direction. Being an RN, you can get a job just about anywhere you go and having job security is super imprtant in the world that we live in today. That is unfortunate when looking at those who have recieved a college education and are unable to have a job with which degree that they have chosen. I love working as an HCA (Healthcare Assistant) and know that being an RN is something that I could most certainly do. I love being able to take care of others and be there for them when someone is so desperatly needed. I am thankful for my Professor, classmates, and the experiences that have been dealt out to me. I know I can succeed and I know you all can too. Keep positive and good things will come. Sometimes the light is very hard to see throughout all the darkness, but it is there, keep looking and soon enough it will shine brighter then you could ever imagine!

Ooh good grief...

Man alive, I cannot believe this week is done, but I have to say that I have very thankful that it is. I have been very stressed out these last few weeks and have thought for a moment there that I was going to loose my head. Lol. I am glad that the 2 final papers are done and over with and I am truly hoping that the outcome of them both is a good one. I am not sure if I have ever felt so over whelmed with things that I had to do. Working, finals, kiddos, and home life, holy cow, I was a bot stressed I must say, but in the end I look back and I am thankful that I was able to pull through it all and I am sure that it is going to be worth all the headache in the end. I am sure that I am not the only one that has been feeling this way. Crazy, isn't it? I truly wish and hope for nothing but the best to all my classmates and I am thankful for the great Professors that I have been blessed with over this term. I hope that everyone is successful within their courses and I hope to see everyone continuing on with their Blog pages even when the course is over. I think that this has been a great way in order to connect with others and see that we are not alone within the whole college experience. Thank you to everyone that I have met! Good luck and enjoy your time! Keep looking up, stay positive, and remember to breathe! Everything is going to work out the way in which it is supposed to, don't worrry so much, enjoy life and the experiences that wait ahead of you!

Cannot believe how time flies...

My title says it all. I just cannot believe how fast everything is going by. I remember as a small child when an elderly person would tell me that it only gets worse as you get older. Now that I am in my late 20's they were not joking. I sometimes (well most of the time) feel as though I am falling behind, like I just cannot keep up with the speed of everything now-a-days. All so much coming at us at once now, I try my best to scrabble through it all, but good grief somedays it is overwhelming. Do you every feel this way? I certainly do and know that I am not up with the times as many would say. Most of the time it is while working, looking at all I have to do throughout the day, doing my schooling, and watching my children grow up so fast. Too fast. I wish I could be here and be with them, so as to not miss a minute of things that they go through and experience. Alas, such is life. Unfortunately it is not always what we desire within our hearts. I do know that I can hold my head up high and know I am doing all that I do for the better, for them. That is a good feeling, and one that allows me to continue onward without regrets.

Howdy doody...

Hows everyone's life going?

Things are going pretty well here I do believe. I am thankful for when things seem to start working in the way that "we" believe they should. Classes are going well (always a plus), work is well going (hehe), and life at home seems to be working out good also. Could this be to good to be true? I aks myself things like that all the time, as if we do not deserve to have things go good in our lives, or that you almost expect something to go wrong because things are going good. Lol. Silly to think that way, but alas it is how I can be at times. I do look up and let "Him" know that I am truly thankful for the good times, as well as, the bad ones in which I face. I hope that everyone is doing well also, and if not continue to hold stronge and stead fast to what you truly want within your life. Nothing is really impossible. We have to maintain strength and try to be possitive even when we think things could not get any worse. Look to what you know holds love, strength, passion, and positive atitiude, this we help you through those times when you may feel like you cannot go on. Be tru to yourself as well.

Words of encouragement!
