Featured!

Where? Only the hottest blog on this side of the equator-The R House!

Mrs. R put out a request for guest bloggers. I volunteered and she picked me (and a handful of other wonderful ladies). I truly felt so honored to post on her blog. Here is a link to my guest post.

In the days that followed my post, I got called 'an inspiration', 'amazing' and 'strong'. Words I had honestly never considered myself. I'm so grateful to those ladies, who left those words of encouragement, they had helped me to be stronger.

Thanks for the wonderful opportunity Mrs. R.

Back to school

On February 18th I became a student again. I finally took a stand in my life and did something that I wanted to be doing. Not what other people expected me to do. After six years of talking about it, I decided to return to school for massage therapy. And I am LOVING it!



I'm attending Milan Institute here in town. At first, I was a little reluctant because I hadn't heard too many good things about the the other programs they offered but I decided to go out on a limb and go for it. The beginning was kind of bumpy (my admin rep wasn't very thorough) but as soon as school started it was smooth sailing.


During orientation they were telling us that we would be getting a lot of books. So, I was expecting at least 15-20 books. I mean, we have a lot of medical terminology to learn. Imagine my surprise when I came to class and saw 9 books total. I had to laugh. Especially when my classmates were all like: "They weren't kidding. We got a lot of books." I sent Nic a text saying that 9 books is nothing (for 8 months). I had 9 books for one semester of school.

My goal is to finish with a 4.0 and so far I'm on track. Who wants a massage?
