2 Posts in 1 Day?! It's a MIRACLE!! ;) ;)

So I also wanted to post a little Rheagan update!

She has had a lot of "firsts" lately, and I wanted to share them :)

I took her to her first movie, we went to see Tangled, and it was awesome! She did so great, just sat there in the chair that kept almost folding shut on her (lol), ate her M&M's and soaked in all in! She was like a pro, can't wait to take her to more movies, it might become our official "date" activity!

She also went to her first birthday party! It was at the kids center of a gym here, and she had a blast doing that too! Sometimes I wonder about her because she seems more interested in playing with new toys or exploring a new place than interacting with other kids, but I know she won't end up being a loner, just one more random crazy thing I find to worry about :)

 AAAAAnd! She has been using her potty consistently for about a week or two! She gets stickers when she goes, and has gotten to pick out some "big girl underwear," which she is verrrrry excited about! So we aren't completely done with diapers yet, but we are getting much closer, I can feel it! lol

Just another day....NOT

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!
