Back to school

Winter break was just too short this year.  In the morning I go back to school (while my daughter doesn't have to start back until Monday...grrr).  JTerm should be pretty fun, though...bowling and "Jesus at the Movies".  I also scheduled a very light Spring course load so I can spend more time with my family …

Saying Goodbye to 2012

It's been a month since I've been here.  My apologies if you have felt abandoned.  But with school projects coming due, finals, and work with Nutcracker, not to mention all of the stress and insanity because of our insurance settlement STILL not being here, I needed to pare down my activities.  And I'll still likely …

Another Confident Dreamer

That niece I was telling you about in the last post, she is honestly one of the most courageous people I know.  She has decided this year that her life and dreams are what she chooses them to be.  I'm extremely proud of Kimberly and what she's already accomplished.  I know she's going to succeed …

Those who support our dreams…

All this talk about dreams and life changes, and I haven't even given much of a mention to the guy who has supported me in all of this. Ever since we met in college, Jym has been encouraging me to meet people, do things, go places.  He's been the one to try to convince me …

My Dreams are Becoming One with Reality

I got an email recently, from the university where I'm registered for classes in the Fall.  In case you haven't been keeping up, I'm transferring to Pacific Lutheran University to follow my dream of being a Marriage and Family Therapist.  I'm officially a Junior, after getting credit for two classes I took this past year. …

My Daughter’s Dream

My daughter loves to dance.  She doesn't always work as hard as she should, but when she does, she amazes me.  Her ambition is to be a teacher.  Although she's not sure what academic subject she wants to teach, she knows she wants to also be a ballet teacher.  She adores assisting the instructor of …
