Idioms

Its time to spill the beans: We have a bun in the oven!

Our family of two will become a family of three in late February. We are delighted.

Hey July!

June's gone. And I didn't post. Oh, well.

Basically I've been looking for a job, visiting friends, and enjoying being back in Memphis. Last month Peter had a bachelor party in South Carolina to attend so I went to Lilburn for the weekend to see my in-laws and visit some friends. The timing was great since we were able to spend Father's Day with Peter's family.

Change of Plans

Last August, I moved to Nashville for "two years."  After completing typical Fall and Spring Semesters, I opted to take a full semester load in the summer so that I could graduate and move home in December. And that was the plan. Until it wasn't.

On May 18 I received a game changing email. For the first time, I was provided a copy of the student handbook. Upon reading the handbook, I learned that my school will accept up to six transfer hours.  Rewind: In the spring of 2008, in order to maintain my alternative teacher licensure, I enrolled in a master's program. Then I took two classes - for a total of six credit hours.  

After reading the handbook, I sent emails to the necessary faculty and staff about the possibility of receiving credit for the courses I took in 2008. And I got the green light! As of July 1 I will need just one more class in order to graduate in December. Since my program offers weekend classes, there is no need for me to live in Nashville next fall.

Wednesday, I moved home.  I'm thrilled. Maybe beyond thrilled. What a tremendous blessing!
