Back to school, Back to school...


No, I wish it meant we were moving back, but it is just for online classes!
Well, I met with the Bishop tonight to get my endorsement for BYU-I. Kellen's dad works up there as an Internship Cordinator for the College of Biology and Life Sciences (I was told to put the whole title) Since Steve started working there right as we were graduating, we didn't get to take advantage of the free tuition. We have just figured out we can take some really fun classes online and Kellen can use his tuition bonus for his classes but I get to pay for them the old fashioned way- out of our checkbook!! I really need to retake some classes I didn't do very well in while I was engaged (I mean, I did REALLY bad) and I can also take a religion class as well. We were hoping that we wouldn't have to go through the whole process again but it turns out we do. SO we are excited to see when we can start the classes and we are excited to study together!
I should have taken classes instead of working when we got married but of course I was too stubborn to listen to all those who were telling me that and now I feel like even though I love being a mom, I feel like I need to do something for me. I am actually excited to write papers and to study and take tests! Maybe waiting this long will help me be a better student!
I will let everyone know how it goes, and hopefully I have a great test score soon to brag about :)!!
