Well, "vacation" is over and now I'm back in the work force. So many years of being self-employed and working my own schedule was a great experience and I appreciate it. Now, getting up every day at a certain time and working for someone else is a welcoming change, something I haven't done in a long time. And the fact that I don't have to drive an hour to and from Nashville makes this transition so much easier!I do love the early morning risings, the crisp, clean air, the color of the sky, and the quietness. And with Autumn right around the corner, the days will be getting shorter, the dusk's and dawns darker. I love Autumn!
My sister, Mellow and I went back to school around the same time-she got her degree in teaching and I'm sooo proud of her! (wish she'd send me some pictures of her graduation, hint, hint)
She took time off to raise her two sons:
and now she's back in the work force. She's teaching English to the 9th-11th grade. She was full of different emotions about returning to work and now since starting back has said "You, know, working is not all it's cracked up to be"! LOL And I agree, I agree!
So, I said I was going to participate in my Graduation ceremony, and I did. I was the only one from my January Phlebotomy class:
The evening was a blur, it went by so fast! I remember thinking before I walked across the stage, "just don't fall, just don't fall"! Hubby said I walked so fast that he didn't have time to get a good picture:
And I thank God for the love and support from my Husband who encouraged me and believed I could do it:
and my patient family:
Through all my ups and downs, school, joblessness, The whole transition. They mean so much to me and having them there cheering me on really made me feel blessed. I thank you too, Jeremy, our Pastor & Co-Pastor's son and my "other" son, for being there. He attends TSU and stopped by to give a shout out:
Next year, it'll be Grad time for them all! And I can't wait!
Next year, it'll be Grad time for them all! And I can't wait!
so until then...
