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?

Just saw your story on Mrs. R's blog, what an inspiration you are! I'm adding your adoption button to our adoption blog, hope that it helps! :)
Hello,
I read your story on Mrs. R's blog and would like to continue reading your story through your blog.
You are a strong strong woman! I hope and pray that your family will be completed through adoption very soon. I am a Mommy of 2 adopted babies, both born from the same Birth Mother. I wish so much that everyone waiting for their forever familes can feel what I feel.
I have put you on my blog to pass you around. I hope that is not a problem.
Nice to meet you.
Elaine,
