Tiffany's Back In School
Yep, can you believe it? Today was my first day. Ben and I have been praying about this for a year. Ben has been all for it, but it was me dragging my feet. Its scarey! My mind has been 'mushy' for 14 years... yes 14 years ago I dropped out of college. I am wanting to get into the nursing program here (its a VERY good program here) but I have some prerequisites to take care of first. Last time I went to college it was to be an elementary school teacher, so I have all the wrong credits. The nursing program is tough, so its good to take some classes first to get back into study-school mode. So, my first class is online...clinical nutrition.. which I am most excited about...I love nutrition. I thought this would be my easiest class, but after today I found out, its not...at all. Then I have Ethics...thought it would be a hard class,but nope. Its a discussion forum class on recent ethical issues (abortion, genetic manipulation, environmental issues to name a few), but I have a feeling I am going to stick out like a sore thumb...my reasonings will be biblical and faith based and I believe in absolutes. This will be interesting. Then I have biological sciences which is split into 2 classes(lab and lecture). Science was always my worst subject... I even avoided chemistry in high school. Today we converted into scientific notation and worked with the metric system. Then I also have psychology. I am also going to continue to work and at the same time make sure my home and family are never neglected in any way,shape, or form!! Please pray for me...wisdom, ability to retain knowledge,to do well in school, protection from sin and temptation, that my husband and kids will be even more blessed and not lack of anything from me, energy, attitude, and my health (this is important, my health hasn't been good lately), my relationship with God, and financial (I tend to stress...hyperventilate!) I need sleep now. Thank you for your prayers, Tiffany

I am sooooo proud of you! It is great to hear that you are basically following in my footsteps...LOL! I took child psychology right out of high school, then Nutrition in the late 80's and then went to National Career Education for Optometry in the early 90's. The BIG difference is that you have a husband who is backing you all the way. I was trying to do this and raise children on my own. I will pray for everything you have asked to pray for. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
OOOHHH! I'm so excited for you. You are one of those naturally brilliant people, Tif. You'll do fantastic! Look at the way you've raised your kids, made things work, and made sure you were never flying by the seat of your pants (as it were). You are an inspiration for many... I wish I was closer to you to learn from your mothering/wifeing ways. (is that a word)? I'll be praying for mental energy! LOTS of LOVE to the Knudsons!
