Accepted!!!

I just found out today that I was accepted to NAU's Graduate program.
I am so happy!!!!
After bracing myself for a possible rejection when I was opening the letter from NAU, (after all, it did take 11 weeks to hear back from them) I was very surprised to find out that I was accepted to their Master's program. I started laughing. Eventually the tears set in as I realized how much I wished I could have shared this with my Dad, since I'm the only one of his kids to go into education like he did. It was also the first time I really felt like I was "moving on" with my life since the last few years have been a nightmare of neverending deaths and funerals. I have felt so "stuck" for so long and unable to move forward.
I've been wanting to pursue a degree in Early Childhood education since I first started student teaching 10 years ago, but it seemed so out of reach and a very long time away.
I'm thrilled that I finally get to move forward with my life and accomplish something I've wanted to do for a long time. Even though it won't be easy, I'm excited for my children to see the process as well. I'm finally moving on and that's a very good thing!!
