Evening Muse

Tonight I came home from class to my family. The dishes are still waiting to be washed, the laundry always needs rotating, and the kids needed my care. My husband does his best, but nothing replaces Mom.
Soon Daniel and I will be switching up our roles quite a bit. In the last few weeks Daniel has begun the process of applying for his master's program. We will both be taking part-time jobs and working to support the family while both of us complete our education. The work and preparations before us seem daunting but, I know this is the path we need to take. I feel a quiet peace regarding our plans and I think this will bring us closer together as a family. For now we scholarship search and watch to see what will happen.
Another road, another adventure. Who knows where this road will go.

Scholarship Hunting

Tonight I spent 3 hours scholarship searching... Often I wonder if this journey is worth it. Is it fair to my children, as well as to myself, to push forward with my education and finish my degree? I believe that it is a worthy goal. I finally feel at home again. This journey has taken me on quite an adventure. In about 2.5 years, I should finally finish. I walk this road for myself and to show my children the importance of completing their education.

Lately I have thought much about my final goal of a ranch where I could help troubled kids to work for a better life. It's idealistic, but, I have had this idea since I was in High School. this was my original 'dream job' and everything seems to be pointing me back that way.

One day, this journey will bring us to a resting point. For now, I take joy in the adventure of this journey.
