It's definitely a shift in our original game plan. Besides hating teaching, HR went back to oilfield work to earn more money to pay down some debt. Attending school full-time will mean only HR will support us; therefore we will not have the extra money we expected. Two-year sacrifice...long-term investment.
I was worried about Caiden having to move schools again. Last year I moved him from the school he attended with his closest cousins and the same classmates he had for 3 years, he cried occasionally for almost a year after. When I threw the idea at him I expected him to get emotional or pout. Here is how it went:
Me: Caiden, how would you feel about moving again?
Cade: Why mom?
Me: I want to finish school and they want me too, but it's a little far from here.
Cade: Oh, ok. Well tell me the day before so I can say goodbye to my friends.
I had always intended to apply, but I never expected to be accepted so quickly. I ONLY applied to Kingsville because it is the only school with a Spring start. Each admitting season the university reviews roughly 300 applications and accepts a mere 12-15 students. Instead, I expected I'd be busy filling out applications during the month of March for Fall 2013.
Now I have two months to find childcare, a place to live, someone to rent our home, etc... I am hoping to get better at blogging since I will have some extra free time on my hands, not to mention I will be away from some of Caiden, Trey and Ryan's biggest fans....
