Education is a life-long journey...

              Today is Brandon and my 11-year anniversary. I feel tremendously blessed to have married him. We were talking the other day about how amazing it is that we dated for 3 weeks before becoming engaged, then were engaged for 3 months before being married...and we are perfect for each other. I feel blessed that we have one of those relationships where we sacrifice for each other, have the same priorities, share the same tastes in most everything, and are best friends.
              I realized today that every year we celebrate our anniversary, along with both of our birthdays, in the middle of August. The reason? Financial Aid. I realized that in our 11 years, only 3 Augusts were school-free (2005-2007). Brandon finished a Bachelors and two Masters degrees while we've been married. Now, I am going back to school. I am starting an online Bachelors program in Psychology in a couple of weeks. So, of course, the first thing we'll do when we get that financial aid check, is go out and celebrate..11 years of marriage, 36 and 33 years of life (respectively), and 2 more years of school financial aid, yippee!!!
              I am especially excited for one of my classes. I had to choose an upper-level writing class. My advisor suggested "Writing for the professions"...uh, blech......I chose "Writing a Personal History". Fun! I'm sure I'll be posting my essays here, and that may make up for my hardly ever updating my blog! :)
