decisions, decisions

I recently reached a standstill in my life. While I've been happy with the routine I've become so familiar with, I haven't exactly been content. I know I am capable of more. I want to experience all the goodness of this life. I guess it's called growing up.

After a year and a half of living a graduate's life, I realize I want to be a student again. There is so much to learn and gain from schooling. My brain is far too hungry to sit around. So in order to feed it, I've applied for graduate school. I'm aiming to earn my Masters in Early Childhood Education. I've always known that later on in life I wanted to become a teacher, so why not now? I'm ready for a new adventure.

Along with deciding on graduate school, I've also decided to move...again. With rent increases, it's impossible to save money for possibilities in the future. I found a lovely (and reasonably priced) condo for Charlie and I to reside in. Moving is always exciting, but also very tiring. Luckily, I have wonderful friends, family, and a boyfriend for heavy lifting.

Looks like there are tons of fresh starts coming my way and I couldn't be more ready to take them on with a brave, smiling face. The support I have is so tremendous. Pieces are falling into place and it sure feels like magic. Maybe it's luck, or maybe it's timing. Whichever it is, I know that I am right where I am supposed to be.
