Higher Education

This weekend I was lucky enough to see 3 college graduations. It was pretty cool to see all the hard work pay off. My dad graduated with his Associates degree, and that was really inspiring. If he can do it, then I'm sure I can. Cori's brother, Kyle, got his Bachelors degree and his commission as an officer in the military. The commission ceremony took place in a small room and felt really intimate. Kyle's wife, Stephanie, also graduated and got her Masters degree. I was surprised to see how many masters and doctoral candidates there were at the ceremony. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend my friend Jen's graduation due to scheduling conflicts. She got her Masters degree.

I really enjoyed seeing (and hearing about) everyones graduations. It's always good to see hard work being rewarded. I was also really inspired by the whole thing. It made me want to go back to school even more so than I already did. I want to be able to learn how to do something fun and useful. I want out of the grocery business. I want to try new thing.

And so I applied to SLCC, got accepted, and filled out my FAFSA today. I'm going back to school, and I'm going to kick some ass.

Go Cori!

The wonderful Cori Lynne started school earlier this week! I'm very proud of her, and it is wonderful to see her pursuing her dreams! She is going to Taylor Andrews Hair Academy, and so far she is loving it. Again, I'm super proud of her and I will support her 100%. 

The only downside to her going to school is I am alone until a little after 10p.m.. It let's me get a lot of video game playing done, but it kinda gets boring. I'm still adjusting to the new schedule, and I will still get the weekends with her, so all is good. All in all I think this will be very good for us, and it is very good to see her finally pursuing her goals. Good job baby!
