Good News

It has been forever since my last post, I know. I have been travelling for over a month. It is so good to be home. While I was gone, I drove to Chicago twice, flew once. Flew to Utah, drove to Idaho, flew home, drove back to Utah, and flew home again, and I am here to stay, for a while! While I was in Chicago, I got to go to 2 of my little sister Martha's track meets. She is a shot putter. Right now, she is ranked 1st in the state for big high schools. At the first one, her name is on the wall for the best throw at that fieldhouse. At the meet she threw 43'2," so they are going to have to change the numbers. I also went to her MSL Conference. She won 1st, and no one was even within 2 feet of her throw. She has a full tuition scholarship to Illinois State University, and she'll go there in the fall. GREAT JOB MARTHA!

Well, during my trips, I didn't take any other pictures because I was very sick. At the end of February, I got this terrible virus (I'll spare you the details), and I was pretty much miserable for 5 weeks. I thought less about documenting my travels than I did hoping my head wouldn't explode and that I could sleep more than 3 hours a night. But now, I am getting better, and I am so grateful!

Now for my good news. I applied and was accepted into the Masters of Education in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at Cleveland State University, and will start my masters program the first week of June. I am so excited! I want to focus on teaching (legal) adult immigrants English to help them to have more opportunities for success in our country, and so they can give back to it as well.

Seth took me out to Dewey's Pizza to celebrate. These are my new glasses. :) My hair is getting long again too! Yay! Now I am looking for a part-time job, and as many scholarship/grant opportunities I can find.
