Back To School!! This Indian is about to be a Red Wolf!

I graduated high school in 2004, imediately went to college at lovely ASU (Arkansas State), joined a sorority, partied, played rugby, studied a little, partied, met a guy, and then inevitably dropped out after December 2006. The only real good thing I got from that blur of about 2.5 years, aside from the obvious life experience, was great friendships and an amazing(ly handsome) husband!!

Then came REAL WORLD!! A husband and a beautiful set of twin boys in the same year (2007) when I was just 21 and he was 20 brought on a LOT of responsibilities. With neither of us having a degree or any real job experience, we had to start like so many others.. at the bottom. He worked while I took care of the babies. Talk about stressful but definately relationship building. I started working when the boys were two and Sam (that's my hubby, BTW) continued to work and went back to school. We made an agreement that he would attend school full-time and work when he could until he finished his associates in criminal justice. After that, it would be my turn to finish my degree.

Now, after feeling like that has been taking forever, that time has come!! He will be done at the end of December!! I'm so excited for him and hope that he really loves his career in law enforcement. He works hard for our family and deserves the very best.

 Now it's MY TURN!!

I have re-enrolled at ASU to finish a degree in Middle School Education. When I attended ASU the first time I was an Indian, now I will be returning as a Red Wolf. The school has changed it's mascot since. Actually, I won't necissarily be "attending" ASU. Most of it will be done online and through our local community college. This will save on traveling and I also have to keep my job. Also, I have about a semester's worth of classes that will roll over from my previous years. YAYYY!!

So, here's to 2nd chances. It will be difficult at times but I see what the finish line looks like. I can invision my future, something I couldn't do before- through a set of beer goggles.
