Trip of a Lifetime Planned

This year during spring break, we are taking a trip I have always wanted to make! We are planning to go to Egypt!! We will start and finish the trip in Cairo but are also planning to travel to Hurghada and Luxor; I have watched many documentaries on Ancient Egypt and am very excited about seeing these ancient sites in person. To say I am excited is an understatement.

Busy Start to 2017

     The year began with a trip to Dallas with my husband to the Beltwide Cotton Conference. It was nice to get away before the spring semester started and I also got to see my husband give a presentation about the performance of the cotton varieties his company has developed.  Although, my husband and I have been married thirty years yet this was the first of his presentations I had attended. It was an enjoyable experience.

  Last week I began my third semester of college, I think it will be a good semester. I look forward to learning new things as I progress through these next few months of school. I feel the decision to get a college education was the right thing to do, it was something I needed to do for myself as a means of personal growth.

Next on my list of things to get done is to start planning this year's garden and to decide what new bushes  to plant. The yard is in need of a makeover to freshen it up. We have lived on the property almost twelve years and the landscaping is looking drab and tired so to speak. I plan to post photos as this project progresses.

Until Next Time!

Many Challenges This Year

I have had many challenges this year in my journey to getting healthier but am ending the year being on track and making positive changes to  my lifestyle. I am going to work hard to maintain the positive changes and add to them.

I have gotten into the groove of making better food choices and limiting those foods that I know drags me down and makes me feel sluggish. 

This coming week I will be away from home but I am not going to let that get in the way of making good choice for food and getting exercise in as well. The hotel we will be staying at has a fitness center so I hope to use it everyday while hubby is in meetings at his conference. I know I can do this!!  

I also had challenges in my second semester of college. There were times I struggled but still managed maintain a decent overall average in my classes. I still really enjoy school and my classes even though it is getting a bit harder now. 

Til Next time 

Freshman at 50

It was about this time last year that I made the decision to get a college education, something I chose to forgo after graduating high school back in the '80s. It is something I considered many times over the year but never really acted on it. Last December I made the decision to go to college and in early January I became a student. The first semester had a few rough moments but I made it through with alot of hard work and God's grace! The second semester was tougher but again by the Grace of God, I pulled through it with decent grades. In a couple weeks, I begin my "Sophomore" year and will start taking some of the classes required for my Administrative Office Technology Associate Degree. I am anxious to see what this semester holds for me, God willing.
