The Trip to Plentiful

Plen-ti-ful according to Webster's means "a great or rich supply." Don't get me wrong! I have a rich supply of good things & good people!

I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend...life is grand! However, I have been doing some serious thinking over the past seven days ~ hence the lack of postage. I have taken a trip to Chattanooga to visit old friends, have started "spring cleaning" the house, and have begun another "I'm gonna lose ten pounds before summer" workout regimen...and decided that I'm going back to school.

I know, I know. I haven't even begun teaching in my own classroom yet. Since graduation, I have taken a few positions here & there, from teaching Pre-K kiddos to fifth-grade "darlings." And no, I'm not going back to do something else. I'm going back to become more. I plan on teaching in a classroom while I'm in school because I do love it oh, so much! I've just known since graduating from UTC that I wanted to continue on with my master's and, God willing, onto my doctorate...in something.

I haven't decided what that something is. But it's time! This is the goal I have set for myself before I leave hectic vet visits and continue to soccer games, etc. The idea is not set in stone, as of yet. I haven't registered for classes or anything. I've just come to the conclusion that I am definitely going back...and soon. I am going to dinner with my grandparent's best friends whom are both professors at MTSU. I wanted to get some insight about when/where/and how I should go about doing this. So for now, I'm just gathering my thoughts, discussing with my husband, and washing my clothes so I can pack for my trip to plentiful.
