Atlanta Trip

Hi Everyone, Here are some pictures of our trip to Atlanta to visit my mom and the rest of our family. We took a long a weekend to go up there. The weather was beautiful-a little chilly but nonetheless very comfortable. During our visit we went to the Georgia Aquarium, Stone Mountain and to my cousin's house where we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Enjoy the pictures and thanks to my mom, and the rest of our family for a wonderful visit!

Beyond Blessed...

So many times in my life, I tend to focus so much on the bad things instead of the good-I have to work on that. Today is not one of those days. I could not get over the amount of birthday wishes I received today. It is so wonderful to know that I have my wonderful family and so many people that care enough to call or just send a note to say happy birthday. It really meant a lot. So tonight when I go to sleep, I'll thank God for you all, and wish many years to come of this blissful reminder of my many blessings in life. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
Love,
Jen

Am I Crazy?

Well, the time has come for me to tell you folks that I am headed back to college to finish my degree in education. My original major was psychology, and I'm hoping all the credits transfer. It was a tough decision for me to go back to school but like my step-mom said, "It's never too late". I was scared at first of my decision to return but I know in the long run it will be great for our family. I'm planning on attending Edison State in the fall (or maybe start sooner in the summer) but only time will tell. I'm very excited yet very nervous, but my husband backs me up and so do my parents. My main inspiration comes from a very unlikely source: my step-mom. As most of you know her and I didn't get along for years, then once I had my own kids I looked back to my high school years one day and said "ok, she worked full-time, raised 4 kids, and studied until the whee hours of the morning. Now, we've had our share of problems but all in all...she did it. She got her degree. So thanks Pat, for being my inspiration in going back to school because if she can do it so can I. Say some prayers for me!
