...And Breathe!

This weekend I turned in my very last assignment for my master's program.  I'm officially done!  One thing that kept me going was imagining how great it would feel once I was finished.  It's a pretty awesome feeling, no doubt.  I remember when I first started the program.  I was very pregnant and I was working so hard to get everything turned in early for my first class and trying to finish up my maternity plans because I knew Baby Cade would be born around the last week of the course.  I remember the other teachers in my class telling me how brave I was to enroll in the program with a new baby on the way.  They were right; I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  It was definitely hard work...teaching all day, being a mommy after work, and working on projects and papers almost every night after Cade went to bed.  Whew, I can finally breathe!  All the hard work was totally worth it though.  I'm sure I'll be even more convinced of that once we get a little extra money in our pockets!  I'm looking forward to having some extra time to devote to being a better wife, mommy, and teacher. 



Also in weekend news, Cade had his first pancake breakfast!  Yes, GJ, I'm starting him young.  :)  Don't worry though, we'll be holding off on syrup for a while. 



More, please?
