It has been a crazy journey of working and trying to go to school, but I think it will be worth it. I don’t feel that way right now, but I am sure that eventually I will. All I can see right now is my loans staring me in my face with a little paper saying I spent alot of money for it. As I reflect back on other things that I have done, they dont seem significant at the time but later look like they really meant something. Hopefully this will be one of those times. I hope to put it in the column next:
-Being published in the USA today in the voices column when I was 12 about how my family struggled as farmers
-Becoming a certified dental assistant by the time I was 17
-having surgery for a brain tumor at 18
-buying our first house when I was 23
-Marrying my husband at 23
-buying our second house when I was 25
-Working my butt off to get my own store at the age of 27
-buying our third house when I was 28
-Finishing my degree at the age of 29
This is for you Grandmere, I wish you were here to see it all, I finally did it! The first woman in our family to graduate from college. I love you!
Heres hoping that my thirties will be as productive as the twenties…… I worked so hard I want to have a little fun and have a little one. ;)

Congrats on finishing your degree! I feel like my 30s are so much better than my 20s. Good luck and have fun celebrating an awesome achievement.
