8 Years it Took Me to Get Here

I just finished the very long process of earning my bachelors in Economics. I graduated high school in 2006, 8 years ago, and I started college right away. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I ended up dropping out of college after the first year and moved back home. Even though I did not do so well my first year, I met this great guy. I knew within a month of dating him that he was the one for me; little did I know, right then he felt the same. Three years later we married and 18 months after that our son was born. In just over two weeks we will have been married for 4 years - where does the time go? I struggled with classes and trying to decide on a degree to pursue but I knew when I had my son I needed to finish, even if I never planned on using my degree. It was tough and I did not do as well as I could of but I learned so much in those long 8 years. I honestly never thought the day would come when I would finish. There were so many times I wanted to call it quits; even in the last semester, just two weeks before finals, I was wanting run away and not finish. But the day I walked with my husband down the Hill at KU's commencement ceremony was one of the happiest days of my life. I was lucky enough to spend it with the ones I love.

 

I am not sure where I want to take this blog. I have so many ideas. I am starting a new chapter in my life as a stay at home mom in a brand new state and would love to take you on this journey with me.
