Just Some General Things and Updates

Okay so its Friday and it has been a very busy week, so I'm glad the work week is over.  Norman has two jobs going right now so he has been busy as well.  This is the first week in a while that he has actually worked five days in a row.  Both of us are still fighting allergies or something so that one or both of us has sinus issues everyday. 

School starts on Wednesday, March 2nd, at noon EST.  I have to keep reminding myself that school is on EST and not CST for the purposes of completing assignments and turning in work.  I'm excited and scared.  Now I just want to get started and to see if I can actually handle school.  We have to get a new computer.  Mine, that is now Norman's is not going to cut it for the 2nd half of the first semester, but they said it would get me through the first half (7.5 weeks).  So we are starting to look.  The best we have found so far is about $550.00 not counting shipping.  So I'm hoping that between the two jobs, we will be able to purchase me a new computer and take the other desktop in and have to cleaned up.  He got a virus, and although we have cleaned it, we are not sure all is working properly.

We have cancelled Renewing our vows until later in the year.  We can't afford to do the ceremony the way I want to do it, and buy the computer.  That's okay too!  I know God is working tremendously in our lives right now and we are slowly seeing some light at the end of the tunnel... (and it's not a train). 

I guess that catches us up to where our lives are currently heading.  I know that this is what is suppose to happen with school and all because a very close friend of the family told me that if it was meant to be, God would make sure it all happened, or there would be obstacles to big to overcome.  She was right!  God bless you Ashley Lenore! 

May you all have a God Filled and Blessed day!

Returning to School at 48

So once again it snowed here on Friday, February 4th.  I had to wear rubber boots in order to walk over to the church to work because the snow was too deep for my tennis shoes.  Anyway, I worked for a little over three hours on Friday, and came home to work on completing registration for online school.  I was not able to get a pell grant but I was approved for student financial aid.  The semester starts on March 2, 2011 and I heard from my admin today and he said he would have my schedule for me in the next couple days.  While I am very excited because God worked it out for me to go to school, I'm also a little scared that I won't be able to handle it. 

However, I know it will all be okay.  I truly am excited about getting my accounting degree!  This is the beginning to a new life where financially after school we will be much better off.  We are still looking at selling my car since I will be attending online.  There could be some issues with us not having a second vehicle but for the short run, it would truly be better. 

While being a dog trainer is something I still want to do, I'm going to use most of my time for the accounting degree and trying to get it finished as quickly and monetarily possible.  I'm reading up and watching some dog training videos and plan to practice on my dogs. 

That's the plan for now any ways!  Everyone have a blessed day and week!
