Time is running out..

In my down time today, I've done a lot of thinking about how to execute this plan of mine. In short, the plan involves returning to school for an occupational therapy assistant certificate. There are two schools in Louisville who offer this accredited program. Brown Mackie College and Jefferson Community College would be the two. Having little to no knowledge of Brown Mackie and not having known anyone who has attended there, naturally I'd lean towards JCC. However, I just found tonight that I have only 3 months to get my ducks lined up and get ready to return to school in January. Or.. I could wait another year. If I'm going to go to school here, I want to take the fastest, most immediate route possible so I can leave this area as soon as I'm finished.
Can I really make all of this happen in a matter of three months? Then I have to face the reality that I might not get accepted into the program. I'd like to think that those odds are pretty slim due to my educational background, but it's still a prospect. If you know me at all, it's no mystery that I don't necessarily work the most efficiently for myself under pressure. I can coach anyone through such a time, but when it comes to applying this energy towards myself, I panic. I suppose that given the fact I managed to land a full time job and an apartment in a matter of about six weeks, this could be accomplished in 12. It's no less frightening.
I could really use the support of my friends at this pressing time.
I really need this change.
The only other deciding factor would be whether or not JCC offers their classes in the evening as I will have to continue to work. I tend to believe that Brown Mackie would be more likely. So, if you have anything good to say about Brown Mackie, please let me know! I'm in a crunch!
Thanks in advance for your support and advice!

Letting Go...

Dear Diary, It seems it's finally time to leave Louisville and all the pain it's caused for me behind. I know that people probably think I'm just running from my problems, but I'm really trying to start my life over, on my terms, on my feet, and working on NEVER depending on another to take care of me again. People just can't be trusted. I'm sick and that will never change, but I'm just going to have to make a way for myself and pray that this stupid disease doesn't get the best of me. So, at this point next week, unless something miraculous happens, I'll be saying goodbye to Louisville and all it's trappings. I need to center, I need to focus on my relationship, or lack thereof, with my Savior, and I need purpose.

We did it!!  We're officially homeowners! This house was ours before it was even listed!  I just had this feeling in the pit of my stomach about it and once we saw the inside, we were beyond in love!  That fateful open house solidified that it was meant for us!  Everything about the house was pretty much everything we ever wanted!  Thursday, February 9th we began another chapter in our forever future!  We had a minor little stumbling block to get our hands on it, but it was obviously meant to be ours.  Guess the sellers just needed a little divine intervention too! ;)  One of the best parts is that my super big sis gave me the very table I grew up around. Every holiday meal, every day's homework, every deep clean ;) was made around this very table and now it's in OUR home waiting for our growing little family!  Can't wait to play games, share meals, and help with homework at this very table!  Also given so generously to us was a bunk b...

My past does NOT define me!

Those of you who are new to the party of getting to know me might be surprised to know that I've had a bit of a shaky past. Tumultuous failed relationships, perpetual, chronic bouts with poor health, and some pretty early abandonment issues. The fact that almost everything in my life is sailing along more perfectly than the best dream right now is nothing short of a miracle! I've fallen hard for partners who viewed me as less than, and I've invested countless energy, finances, and time in dead-end friendships. It's still hard for me to look at my life and accept that it's real and truly happening to me! So let's get to the point, eh? Until about 5 years ago, due to health-related reasons, it seemed like more of a risk for me to drive a car than it was worth, so I didn't. I got by just fine without one. I started working from home, made a decent enough wage to get by, and even when I had "outside" jobs, for the most part, I made it work. F...
