I would like to announce that I have been officially accepted at Simpson University. Oh my goodness... I am going back to school. I couldn't be more terrified or excited. Exciting is winning out though because I get this chance of a lifetime. It includes already finding a place to live, thanks to Aunt Marlene for caring, and to Cathy for saying yes. Cathy is a friend of Aunt Marlene and lives in Redding (and now a blog reader, so please keep what you actually think of me to a minimum...)My friend Jennifer is also going and we are waiting on her acceptance. A trip to Simpson is schedule for Nov. 12th (Veterans Day, we have off of work, but the college does not) to finalize details of our relocation. Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement and I will keep you updated via this blog as much as possible. Think of it as Nanny Tales meets 18 and 19 year olds. Part of me is already irritated at the youth of the group I will be learning with, but part of me is glad that I never went any earlier.
Also.... I am 4 hours closer to Oregon. Alysun-- maybe your babysitter dreams are going to come true!
I won't be leaving until after Christmas, so there is still precious time to spend with my family (and dog!). Until then you will probably have to read about my beef with credit cards and how layaway should be brought back and if credit cards were stripped away, we be surprised about how much people actually had. Ooops, guess I just covered it. Happy (and careful) seasonal spending!!!

Love,

Sounds fun! Take it from a fellow late college goer, you will have PLENTY to blog about with all those 18-19 year old private school kids running amuck unsupervised for the first time in their spoiled little lives.
A car full of college students went zooming by me while I was walking with my babies. I went so far as to raise my fist and yell, slow down!
I can't wait to hear the tale from this next stage in your life.
