A couple weeks before the fall semester was about to begin I got a lovely e-mail from the school telling me that I wasn't going to be able to graduate in May 2013. I would need to go to school for another semester. Now this came as a shock because I had been told, advisor after advisor, for the past two years that I was on track to graduate in May. I would complete my student teaching this spring and then be done with school after what has felt like ages. I'm still not sure how that many advisors and I missed 5-6 credits....that's kind of a big deal! I haven't had the best luck with advisors since I started at the University of Wyoming. It really has taken me awhile to get this far, but I finally felt like I was on track and headed in the right direction. Well, that hasn't changed. I still want to teach. However, after much prayer and deliberation we made the decision to have me stay home with Andrew.
It took awhile to adjust to the fact that I wasn't going back to school this fall; along with the fact that I don't have a degree and am not sure when I'll get it completed. I am so happy to be able to spend my days with my sweet son watching him learn and grow. It's been quite a blessing. It's just reaffirmed to me that our Heavenly Father has a plan for us all no matter what we have planned for ourselves sometimes. I hadn't even given a thought to not finishing school until a few weeks before the beginning of the school year and got me thinking. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
I totally agree with you! Life rarely goes as we plan, but usually it works out better than we'd hoped. Hope you guys are doing well!
