Could it be?

I've been struggling for years to know what to go to school for. I'm pretty content where I am, not worrying about going back to college. Well, there is a possibility that I have finally found something that would interest me enough to go to school for!

This week I started thinking about our church and how easy it would be for us to reach out to our church members more during the week and to reach out to a new and younger crowd. I proposed some ideas to the pastors and from that I was put in charge of tweeting and facebook for the church! I am really excited about this and think it's really good for me. I mean, isn't that what work is supposed to be...something you love to do and then you HAVE to do it?! I'm not getting paid or anything, but it's giving me something to focus on that I really enjoy and feel I'm pretty good at. So, this got me thinking, I love computers, I love design, I love creating....why don't I go to school for web design?! Now, I know NOTHING of web design. How hard is it? How long do you have to go to school before you really know what you're doing? That's my problem...I want to know NOW. I don't want to sit around and learn stuff I don't need to know, I'd rather figure it out myself. I'm not sure if anything will come of this, but it could be really cool!

On another note, Rob has 2 of his last 3 classes going on right now. He's getting way better at time management and it is helping a lot! These 2 classes seem like they will take up a lot of time with writing and such, but I think it really helps that he is *thisclose* to starting seminary. He is so excited about actually getting to go to school for something that interests him so much. His application has been sent in Southern Evangelical Seminary, they have it, they accepted it, now they are just waiting on his transcripts!

School is over for the year (for me anyway, the girls still have a week and a half left much to Penelope's displeasure). We had our preschool graduation last week. It was a relief in a way for me not to have to teach anymore, but wow! When it comes to saying goodbye to some of the children in your class who you don't know if you will see again - it is not easy! One thing I did find out about myself...I'm getting over my fear of being in front of people. It's been good for me to have to be in front of crowds, during communion and graduation (to name a couple examples)...just don't ask me to say anything! I haven't come that far yet!
