Back to school or not back to school...

So, for some of you who know already, Logan has decided he no longer wants to go back to school (if you want to know why, ask him). So after much deliberation (and some crying) I decided I need something different in my life and I have decided I am going to go back to school. I am not happy with my current job and the plan of us starting a family asap doesnt seem to be panning out like I would like it to. So on to different things. Now the deliberating is going to be what do I want to go into. Since Logan kind of dipped out on my dad and helping to take over the family business, I figured I would ask him what I could do to help since Logan was now out of the picture. So it looks as if I will be going into some type of business admin and possibly law after that or accounting. I am not really looking forward to either but in the long run it will be better and easier for our possible future family.

After being out of school for so long, I attempted to get readmitted to Santa Fe (now a 4 yr college and not a community college). I figured I would have to go to the school and talk to a counselor (which wouldnt work out well with trying to get time off of work) but just for the heck of it, I decided I would just log on to the website and see. With a click of my finger, I was re-admitted. It was that simple! I thought I remember seeing a note stating that I have to wait an alotted time before I could start taking classes, so I shut the laptop. Later that day, I had the feeling to go online and just see what classes I need to take, what classes I took in the past will transfer over to the new major, etc. Everywhere I looked, the website said register for classes, so I went through and picked a few classes, just to see. It let me register! We aren't ready for me to go back to school full time and quit work quite yet, so I registered for a couple classes to attend after work. I feel so blessed that things are working out. Things haven't seemed to be working out and I have felt more downs than up in the past few months. To have everything turn around in a matter of a few days feels amazing and I feel truly blessed that some of my prayers have been answered.

I am really doing this....I am taking a stand, changing my life and going back to school!

4th of July

For 4th of July the Anderson family got together and had a nice relaxing weekend at the lake. Greg, my brother, found a great campground on a lake with cabins and a huge mess hall.













We spent a few days having fun in the water. Swimming, boating, wave running, etc.
























We had two days of beautiful sunsets ending with fireworks, and smores by the fire. It was a nice relaxing weekend spent with family.
