A leave of absence

I haven't really been on here lately, mostly because I didn't have internet for a while. Now it's back and the blogger world can have the boring details and ideas of my life back. I guess I can just catch anyone who wants to know up on my life.

I have been studying for my GRE over the summer and more intensely the past two weeks. It's exhausting. If I pass my test, I will start school at MTSU in January. I will study for two years to attain my Master's of Education. It will be free for me, which is unbelievable. I've battled with the idea of going back to school for a year or so but didn't know what I wanted to go back for. I am still not 100 percent sure of this; however, I have always been a person of fate and signs. I look at things that happen to me as signs or God's diving workings. I mentioned once to this man that comes into the coffee shop about going back to school for teaching. He just happened to be one of the professors of the grad program I would need. I didn't even know it was available for me to get my masters since my undergrad is photography. There it was, placed in front of me, and it took me all summer to realize that I shouldn't pass this up. Now, in a frantic frenzy I am studying and reading and learning all over again.

Other than the GRE not too much is going on. Work is work, and I really love my job. Zach is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better man, yet I probably take him for granted to often. I get scared of things sometimes, loving someone so much and feeling like I don't deserve him. I can't imagine my life without him though. It crushes me to think we could ever be apart.


My sister and bro-in law are great. The boys are the most precious things ever. Forrest doesn't let me forget how much he loves his Aunt Gigi. My brother has been having seizures lately which is a new development. I have had my concerns with the way it has been approached, but I won't get into that. He's scared, and I am worried about him. They aren't sure what's causing it. I have some ideas that it might be a dietary thing, but that will get me started on a whole new rant. So, we will leave it at that and ask for prayers for him.

I suppose that's about all that is happening here. Much love to you all.

  1. Girl, how did you manage to get your whole tuition paid for?! That's insane! I want that kind of luck for my MSW program. lol

    And you DO deserve Zach. From what I hear, he's a great guy and I know for sure you're a pretty awesome woman...so I think it's a good fit. :)

    I'll keep Luke and the rest of the fam in my prayers.
