Guess what?!?

...and she puts off the Christmas post even longer...

I know that seems crazy given that today is New Year's Eve...but I have wonderful news I wanted to share: I finally got word that I start grad school January 7th!!  I know that is practically tomorrow and I am scrambling to get things in order but, I am still super excited!  I was hoping to start this summer.  That would have been totally fine but with the divorce and only a six month break before school started employment options were limited.  Having the opportunity to start next week means I finish a semester earlier than I had planned and it gives me a clear path for the next couple of years.

I just finished financial aid paperwork, I am registering via e-mail this week, and I need to do the mundane things like buy books (and a bookbag...bizarre).  Then presto...I will be in the process of earned my MBA!

I am still working on a few things quietly on the side.  However, if those fall through I will have a greater opportunity to provide for V and I in a more comfortable way.  That, in and of itself, is a huge relief.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I pray that the New Year is nothing short of a gift from God.
