I am happy to announce that I will be starting my Master's Degree in Summer 2010!!!!! As you know, this has been a true struggle for me. Knowing which way God wanted me to go was so unclear until I met with Sister Madeleine on Sunday afternoon. We discussed the pros and cons of a master's in Special Ed. She helped me see that it takes someone special to teach special ed and if I have it, I should use it. Now, I have to apply for graduate school, take the GRE (AHHH!!!), and figure out how to pay for it all. :)
Since I have decided I will be returning to school, I will not be pursuing a new car. :( I am sure my daddy is happy about that decision... There's no way I could afford both. Let's hope the A-ccord holds on.
What I am even more excited about is my week off for Thanksgiving. As I left school Friday afternoon, I thanked God for this break to refresh myself and prepare for the month of December, which will be full of challanges at school. This weekend, I traveled to Tuscaloosa to cheer on the TIDE :) Sunday, I visited with Sister Madeleine and drove back to Birmingham. This morning I woke up, cleaned my apartment and headed home. Tonight I will be going to watch sweet Luke Ausley play basketball, and watch the finale of Dancing with the Stars. Tomorrow I am going to spend my afternoon with Grace cooking for our Thanksgiving Reunion tomorrow night. I am so happy that I will be in the company of the best friends in the world tomorrow night. Wednesday I will be resting and start cooking for my family's Thanksgiving. Thursday I will be eating my heart out! And Friday, I will be shopping and watching the Bama trample over Auburn. ROLL TIDE! Saturday, I will be celebrating my 22 years on Earth. And Sunday, I will head back to Birmingham. What a great week I have planned!!
As I am sitting in the comfort of my mom's house, I pray that everyone feels as loved as I do when I enter Guntersville City limits and the door to my mama's house.
