| Quote (My Man's Sportin' Wood @ May 11 2006,6:16 am) | Thanks, hunny.  Chuck Norris  It has been a very challenging experience for me, but I wanted out of that grocery store something terrible and figured it was time to do something about it. I actually had 38 units of college work already before I began this 6 year excursion. That's about a year and a half of full time or 10 years of part time  My family and home sacrificed a lot to get me here.  The most difficult thing was having to tell my kids that I didn't have time to listen to their stories, or read to them, or watch a movie with them because I had homework to do.  I just had to keep telling myself that it was going to be better for them in the long run and remind myself that I was doing it so that I would have more time with them. ÂÂ
I wasn't as excited last year, because I knew that I still had another year to go.  But this time, the reality has really hit me that I will be done!!!!!   ÂÂ
Thanks for the congrats, everyone.  Doug, I'm glad I could be an inspiration for you.  There is a great life (and a normal one! ) outside of the store.  RVRGIRL, I don't know if you and Mike plan on having kids or not, but if you do, do it before you have them!! Or at least get a good head start.  And nurses make $$$$$ and like firemen, they work 12s and get 3-4 days off a week.  That leaves lots of river days. |
We most likely won't be having any children. Might just get a puppy instead. I think I am too old to raise a child. I'm 36. Plus we would have to adopt and that is such a long process. Maybe next year I will try nursing school. I almost have my AA degree from Fullerton College so that will help. Just something to think about I guess.. CONGRATS AGAIN... Very excited for you.  Thats "MRS" RVRGIRL 2 you..... "When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt."
