When I walked out of my class tonight...it wasn't dark! Spring is coming. I can't wait to walk around campus without a coat on.
I can't wait to see some of these 90 pounders in shorts and tank tops! I almost feel bad for the Uggs that are soon to be neglected until fall.

Day 13...
School was a blur yesterday. I was tired, distracted and my heart wasn't in it.
I am working mom and am going back to college. Lots of people have encouraged, supported, and assisted me along the way, and I have thanked a lot of them, but not all of them.
As a child, I remember, my aunt Bobbi going to UWP as a working mom. At the time, it didn't seem extraordinary or amazing. Just something she was doing. She made it look easy. She didn't know it, but in a way she is one of the reasons I am in school now.
I looked at her example as proof it could be done. She was a wife, a mother, a worker, and a college student. Not to mention a farmer! She did it all and still raised 3 beautiful, smart, kind and compassionate kids. Kids that have grown up to do amazing things, have beautiful children of their own and face unbearable burdens with grace and dignity. Her strength and ability to make extraordinary things look effortless, lives on in each of them.
More than being my aunt, her life journey impacted mine. An impact that will one day impact my own children's lives. She has been a transitional person in my life, and I am so grateful for that.
I am giving an assignment today. Do you have people that you think of as transitional people? Someone that without knowing or trying has changed the direction of your life?
Your assignment is to tell them, write them a letter, send them an email, just let them know.
One day you may not have the chance, and I promise you...you'll wish you had.
