"I am (will be) a Phoenix!"

I am so excited to resume college! I spent most of today applying to University of Phoenix and getting my grants set up! I am planning on starting in January. Initially when I would always see the Phoenix University commercials I never paid any attention. I wrote it off as a college scam or something of the sort! Turns out it is the perfect program for me! Funny, huh? I get to stay home with Kazleigh and take online classes. The cool part about the schedule is that I take one class every 5 weeks, for the entire year! No breaks in between (with the exception of two weeks for Christmas). So I will actually be able to graduate with my bachelors in 2013. I am so excited! After looking into the school I started telling everyone about this awesome program I discovered.. and turns out my mother in law graduated from there and a few of my friends are taking classes there as well. When I learned this I felt like these people had been keeping a secret from me! How could they know about such a great program and withhold that information from me! I'm sure it wasn't intentional :) Anywho, I am so excited to start school back up! And even more excited that it is free! Yet another perk of being a military spouse! Without my grants I would be taking out $9500 a year in student loans. I am so glad I don't have to do that!

On another note, Bobby is coming home on Wednesday the 24th! I am so excited! I can't wait for him to see how much Kazleigh has grown in the past month! She has changed so much since mid-october (the last time he was home). I love that they have such a strong bond and each time he comes home they pick up right where they left off. Kazleigh is definitely a daddys girl. I am so ready for our family to be together again!

6 days until Bobby is home for Thanksgiving!
14 days until Bobby graduates with his FAA certification as an Air Traffic Controller!
21 days until we leave AS A FAMILY for Camp Pendleton!
