Amazing where life takes you!

I hope that this is it for me. I mean with school. So I have attended College of DuPage for about three years and then I have been at Millikin University the last year. Now I have decided that I am wanting to go to Richland Community College here in Decatur, Il. for their Pastry program. I really hope that I am happy with the program and classes and can finish this in two to three years. I cannot give up and get discouraged because I have to do this.

This is my last hope for me as far as I am concerned. I wish I would have done this some years ago, but I guess it had to take me going to school for art therapy to realize that I want to bake and decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc.... This will be my form of art. I can still be creative and know that I will probably have a better chance of getting a job almost anywhere I go or live at in the future. If all goes well down the road I can do my baking out of my home or own bakery one day. That would be something, to do what I want when I want to would be kind of nice. I am sure it would be just as rewarding as well for my hard work of completing school and graduating.

Graduation was this past weekend at Millikin and I was a bit jealous of the students that worked hard to earn that for themselves. I wanted that to be me, but now realize that it probably won't happen at a four year university. I still have the oppoutunity to take classes at Millikin in the future which is a nice thought. My main concern and focus will be on the pastry classes though.

I was reading an article the other day in a magazine and it was talking about people that are married, they appreciate their spouse more if they think about what life would have been like if they had never met each other and were not where they are today. It made me think about that and how my life has actually been so much happier since I have met Paris four years ago. I would have never had the chance to experience school again if it weren't for him. Along with many other things that I have done during this time that we have been together. Life has been almost perfect in many ways. I love Paris and I am very grateful to have him in my life.

Who are you grateful for and who has made your life better?

Other then that, I am getting my new queen size bed delievered tomorrow. It is my second wedding anniversary present from Paris. It was something we wanted to get, but was not something that was going to be purchased anytime soon. We got a great deal on it and it would have been crazy to pass up. Paris told me that is my gift and I can live with that. :) More room equals a happy and well rested Tracy! lol.
