Yay! Finally something worth updating the blog about!!!
Today was a momentous day for me...I registered for Grad School today!! A couple of months ago I applied to a Clinical Social Work program on a satellite campus in Missoula run through Walla Walla University. I got accepted a while ago, but had decided not to go due to the cost and our uncertain future here in Missoula.
I was never really content with that decision, and the more that I thought about it and the more that Jason and I talked about it the more I felt like I was making the wrong choice in not going. This is something that I really want to do, once I graduate I will be eligible to get my licensure through the state of MT and become a therapist. I will hopefully then continue to do the type of work that I do now, just on a higher level :) It will only take a year to complete, unlike other programs I was looking at, which should fit well in to the plan we have for adding on to our family! I know that it will be tough with both Jason and me in school at the same time, but that part will only be for about 6 weeks, and since I have class only once a week, I know we will make it through! I've learned a lot of important lessons recently; and I'm glad I've had the experience. I've learned that it is sooooo important to have a supportive, loving husband, one that cares what you want out of life and is willing to work with you to get those things. I've learned that when I say I want to work on improving an aspect of my personality, I will be tested in that area. I wrote not long ago about wanting to focus on the present and stop making excessive plans for the future, and I have been given the opportunity to do that now. I don't know exactly what will happen for us once Jason graduates in May, but I do know that we will figure it out and that everything will be ok. I have also learned that what I want is important, and in order to be a Great mom and wife, I also need to make sure that I can do some things that make me happy too. Ok....signing off!
