Tour of Grand Valley

I went on a tour of my school today, and I got to see where I will be going in the fall.  Now I am really excited to start school.  The college is absolutely beautiful.  It is a lot better than I imagined.  I know that God is going to open so many doors in my life through my going to this college and I can't wait to see all the neat things that will come to be.

I also found out that I will be starting school as a sophomore instead of a freshman.  All of the classes that I took at Muskegon Community College are going to transfer.  Even the history class that I barely passed.  The guidance counselor showed me what I would have to do to get my degree and it is looking easier than I thought to get my degree.  Now I just have to wait until June 9th to schedule my classes and go to orientation. 

Here are some pictures of me outside of Student Services.  The clock tower is behind me.

What's Going On?

So a lot has been keeping me busy recently.  I got a promotion at work.  I am no longer a people greeter.  I was moved to the Vision Center and given a $1.30 raise.  That puts me over $9.00 an hour.  This really is a big help, and a huge answer to prayers.  Now I just have to learn everything that they want me to learn for the job.  The manual that I was given is like 400 pages.  Plus I have to do some computer training.  I know I can do it though!  God would never put me in a position that I was not ready for. 

I also have been getting things ready to go to school.  I am trying to get into Grand Valley State University.  I sent in my application and the fee.  I also filled out the financial aid papers and scheduled a visit.  I requested that my transcripts be sent from my last college.  So I guess now I just wait to see if I am accepted as a student.  I sure how this door opens for me.

So I really feel like my life is in a forward motion and it feels so good.  Everyday I think about how far I have come from the days that I could not even hold down a job, and it just makes me so grateful for the life I have today.  Without recovery I would not even have a shell of the life that I have today.  Things have changed so much in 3 years.

I have not stopped crocheting but I am working on an afghan right now and those take a lot longer.  I will post the pictures when I have finished.  That could be a couple of weeks from now.  It is a long process for such a big project.

Now I just hope the weather gets warm so I can go outside and get in some extra exercise that I need for this diet.  I could really use a walk on the boardwalk.  Its just not the same thing to always exercise with the Wii.  The Wii is fun but I want to go outside.

Hope everyone is good, and ta ta until later!
