It is official. I am going back to school next semester. I just received my acceptance letter from UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and I'll begin working towards my masters degree in History this January.
It just turns out that this is a great time. I can finish my program by the time Brett finishes his PhD in May 2010. (I can't believe that is only a year and a half away!!) I'll mostly be taking night classes and I have a plan to do my homework during the girls naps and in the evening. So I should still be able to be an active mommy. The girls still get my mornings. Brett has been really supportive and encouraging in this whole process. I love being a wife and a mom. . .but for now. . "I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight! Ohhhh, back to school!"

I love it!! I wish you the best! My mom went back to school for her masters, although we were all a lot older, and it was a sacrifice for time, but she did it and it was worth it. Good luck.
Wow! Congratulations! Time will fly by...I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left in the first semester of my Master's. Good luck :)
I am so happy for you!!!! Congrats. I know it will be worth the sacrifices you do have to make.
Congratulations on continuing your education! Remember you have an inside source at Sterne Library if you need any recommendations or suggestions about courses or professors. Jay has been there/done that!
congratulations!
When Steve was at UAB he minored in History (for fun) crazy just like you I guess:) He absolutely loved Dr. Webb if you can get any of his classes.
Wow Lar. You are crazy, and very brave! I really do admire those who continue their education...I was just not one of them!
Good for you Lar! I am proud of ya! Sounds like you've got the studying system down!
Number one, number one, now the fun has just begun...number two, number two, rooster says cock a doodle doodle doo! Sorry I couldn't resist! And I wonder why this movie makes me think of my Snow roomies!
I am so impressed with you Laura!! You're doing exactly what I wish I had done when Robbie was at MSU for 3 years! Yay for going for it!
WOW!! congratulations Laura, I am so proud of you. You will be so busy and I hope it all works out for you. If I lived a little (actually I meant a lot) closer I would love to help with the girls a couple of times a week but 3000 miles is just too far. I Love you!
Wow Laura! Thtat it great! How exciting for you. Good luck!
