A new era starts for me.

It is the rest of my life.

I never really thought I'd get to this point.  I thank my Father in heaven for leading me and making a way.

This fall I will be starting university.  My goal will be to get a Bachelor of Arts in History; I am minoring in International Relations.  I am attending Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff, Arizona.

I will be chronicling my adventures in university and with family life and such.  What is it like to be a mom and be in college?  Especially as a Latter-day Saint woman?  Well, you are going to find out!  Ha ha.  . . . at least what it will be like for me.

This week I actually started my "fall" routine.  It may seem early to you, but my kids' school starts in a little over a week.  I've been doing paperwork and paying registration ($$$AGGGGH!) money for 2 high school kids, 1 junior high kid, a 6th grader (transitioning from homeschool), and preparing ideas and structure for the homeschooling (the 8 year old and the 3 year old). 

So I've been sitting down, pondering, praying, thinking, writing it out, writing it up, and starting the trial runs, ha ha, to see if the "fall routine" will all work.  (The big question -- in terms of scheduling, will toilet cleaning take second seat to essays in World Politics??  Okay, so that is one of the easier questions .)

So look forward to musings and happenings in the coming weeks and years.  I'll talk about college, faith and church, motherhood, reminisce on the past and how I got here, dream about the future and where I hope to go, anything that comes to mind that has any bearing on this great adventure.

I hope you enjoy the reality show!
