I am almost done with school! This will pop into my head when thinking of plans for the near future. I will think of fun things we should do when the weather gets better and then it will come to me that by the end of May I will be free from the ties of college. Hooray! I am really planning on being active every day this summer (hopefully spring too); to lose the rest of my heft. I am currently down 19lbs from where I started. Whoop whoop! Just another 36 more to go.
This current term has been my hardest by far and I'm beginning to wear thin. Im in 4 classes....3 is considered full time. Derek is also taking a math class (his LEAST favorite), so between the both of us we are spread pretty thin. Thankfully there are only 6 more weeks. My final term (spring) I only have 2 classes until I'm done, so that shouldn't be too painful.
I am SO grateful that I've been able to go to college and follow the teachings of the prophets. I know this is what I should be doing and it feels good to have (almost) completed it. It may seem to some like a waste, since I plan on being a stay at home mom, but my thought is that when our kids get a bit older, I can teach or start selling my artwork, or both. Plus it never hurts to be more edumacated. I cannot wait for my next big challenge, fully taking over house, kids, and most of our apt manager job... yikes.
As I relfect, I'm also grateful we didn't put off starting our family, although we both would've probably been done with school by now, but our choices led us to this spot, and it's not such a bad place to be. I love my life, Derek and my boys, and wouldn't change it for anything.
