Hello!

Hi! Welcome to Weston World! Since I don't have a lot of time to scrapbook these days due to my school schedule (which will only get worse starting this Fall), I've decided to try my hand at blogging. It will probably start out slow, but hopefully, with a little practice, it'll get better. I really hope to use it as a tool to keep in touch with family, so they can watch our baby grow in "cyber space time." I'd also like to look back at it after I'm done with school, and relive these next two years, because I am sure they will fly by & be crazy busy with the accelerated program.

As most of you know, I lost my job at the end of April 2008. With a lot of help & encouragement from my family, I went back to school last July. I've been taking my pre-reqs for the accelerated 2nd degree BSN program for UM-Flint, and last month, received my acceptance letter to start the 16 month program in the fall!! I've heard a lot about how much work it will be, and that my social life may temporarily suffer - hence thinking a blog might be a good way to share my thoughts & feelings as I go through.

Also, as mentioned before, I feel really guilty for not keeping up with Anna's first 18 months. I have lots of pictures, and I hope that when I get some time to organize them, I can remember all the little stuff that I'm afraid of forgetting. Considering she will be 3...(3!!) by the time I get done with school, I don't want to miss a thing, when I might not be able to be as involved as I will want. I'm so lucky to have a wonderful husband and family that I can lean on and help push me a long during this process.

It's been a busy year so far, and I am so excited to just have 2 online classes this spring. I will take advantage of the time to spend as much time as possible with my family before the craziness of the next year & a half.

I think that's enough babbling for now. Hopefully my thoughts will become a little more organized as I get more practice sharing them!
