I made it

Well, today is my last day of school. I have a written final and something they call "Walk of Fame". I guess all of our chef instructors line up and we walk down a path and they clap for us. Since I have been a blubbering mess for a week now, I am sure this will only spark the tears..yet again. I can't belive it is finally here. It is like graduating from high school all over again. You wait for it forever and then BAM it is right there in your face, reality. I am scared, excited, sad, anxious, and depressed all at the same time. My friend Amy calls it being a "hot mess". That is for sure!

So, anyways, Goodbye Minnesota and Goodbye to a great set of friends, whom I will never forget and hope to visit soon!

Toad, if you are reading this, I love you and I will miss you like crazy! :-) You are the best. Not many people would step aside and let someone they love live their dream. You are doing that and so much more. How lucky am I to have you?

Leaving and starting over...again

I am in my final days of school here is beautiful Minnesota. I realize every day how much I am going to miss this place. It has been a huge stepping stone for me. I really feel like a found another piece of myself here. Colin has come leaps and bounds from when we moved here a year ago, Morgan talks, runs, and fixes her own cereal. I found a babysitter that I am pretty sure is a Saint and I realized how much sacrifice my husband made when we made the trip out here. We have all grown..physically and emotionally. I believe that we were meant to come here so we could grow as a family as well.

School has been a Godsend. I have developed friendships I didn't even know existed. People who see me for who I am. It has been wonderful and I will miss it tremendously, however it is time to move on and start another chapter in our lives. So here are some pictures of things I have done at school. I really have amazed myself for being able to accomplish so much. I am proud of who I have become.
