making dreams come true

Well, I can't believe it's really happening, I am happy to announce I am currently enrolled and taking classes to become a Dental Hygienist. It has been a dream of mine since I became a Dental Assistant in 2001. It has just never been the right time, but now that I am a wife and mother (with loads of time on my hands....lol!) I am now going back to school. The cool thing is that I never really liked being a student, but now that I am doing it for me, and I know that the outcome will be the job of my dreams, it is so much more interesting, and I am actually enjoying it. It is not easy by any means, but I am doing well, and finally Jackson is adjusting to not having his momma around all the time, he is starting to take naps again, he went through a few weeks of no naps, I was about to go crazy, but we are good now. He likes the sitter and she really likes him and is always bragging on just how smart his is and how she can tell that he really gets a lot of attention and is loved at home. And that really makes me feel like we are "doing something right." I am so thankful for the opportunity to go to school, so that we can send Jackson to the best schools when the time comes. And I am honored to have been accepted, because there are 24 seats in my class, and about 177 people applied. How cool is that? Brian is the greatest husband in the whole world, he supports me 1,000% and he works so hard for us. Thanks for being a part of making my dreams come true. Oh, and to all our family and friends, I would like to apoligize in advance, but until graduation, if you don't see or talk to me very much, it is not because I am upset or don't love you. It is just trying to study, be an attentive mom and wife ( to a husband that I don't even get to see everyday), and take care of our house, is pretty much the entire 24 hours of my day and then some. So, just know that I love you all and keep me and my sweet little family in you prayers and thoughts. Yeah, for dreams, and I am excited that mine are actually within reach.
