I jumped in and posted on a different thread before realizing that it would probably be nice to introduce myself first. 😳
I'm a 34 y/o married mother of 4 children (2 boys/2 girls, ages 5, almost-7, 11 and 13). I enjoy traveling, cooking, boating and surfing. I am terrified of bears, flying and driving over drawbridges. I've been a stay-at-home-mom for the better part of the last 12 years, and finally, the youngest is in school full-time. (WOOO HOOO!)
I tend to do things backwards in life, such as starting a family before getting my education, but things seem to work out pretty good in the end. No regrets, and all of that. 😉 My husband is currently working on his Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, and doesn't plan on stopping his education until they tell him there's no more classes for him to take.
I have wanted to become a doctor since I was in the 6th grade. When most kids were picking boogers and flicking them on their friends for the sheer gross-out factor, I wanted to know what the boogers were made of, and why they were different colors. My friends did their book reports on titles such as Superfudge and Iggy's House. I did mine on the Cardiovascular System, as explained in Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body. Somewhere along the line, I strayed from following my dream.
To make a long story short, I finally convinced myself that I could do this, and told my husband. (I was secretly terrified that he would laugh, although in hindsight, that was nonsense.) He said, verbatim, "It's about d@mn time you finally realized what everyone else has known all along." Someone could have clued me in, ya know. LOL
I am looking forward to finding a comfy spot here and getting to know you all a little better. Sorry for being verbose... I'm just a little happy to be me lately. 😀
