If you can dream it, you can do it

Animals are my favorite. Well, mainly dogs. There is something about these four legged friends that have captured every inch of my heart since I was a little girl. Especially boston terriers.. (I can never leave that out). I had dreams of becoming a Veterinarian when I was younger and that didn't happen. After years of experience, both being an uncertified Vet Assistant in Lexington, volunteering, and kennel work at a few Veterinary hospitals, I truly feel that it isn't settling to become a Veterinary Technician. It's a dream come true. I mean, after all, I can easily admit I don't think I have what it takes to make it into Vet school. Actually, I know I don't. I am okay with that! On the other hand, I even doubted myself in the past to think that one day I would be able to earn an Associates Degree through Veterinary Technology. Now, it's time. After two kids and over three years of being a stay at home mom, it's time. It's now or never. And I am SO EXCITED. I am also sad. I will miss being able to spend almost ALL my time with these kiddos. I am scared. So scared. I am scared to fail. I've attempted 2 tech colleges a few times and have walked away with 2 classes I actually passed. Ironically, I am thankful to admit it is because I wasn't really even trying...
I withdrew a few classes here and there. So now, more than ever, I will TRY MY DAMNDEST. I mean it this time, and I am so happy that I finally have a grip on how important it is to have a college education. Not just an education, but a career you LOVE.

This brings me to the fact that in SC, the only two Technical Colleges that offer this degree are in Charleston, SC and Greenville, SC. We are hoping and praying to make it to Charleston, hopefully before this July. The sooner the better, actually. It's an adventure. A huge step out of our comfort zone. We don't want to settle for Lexington, and especially Aiken. Aiken is a nice place to be to see family and friends, but other than that. It's a hole. IT SUCKS YOU INNN! And I think we've had enough. We want more. We want different. We want....new. I can't believe we are actually doing it. Yes, it's still in SC. But it's about 160 minutes away from our family. And we have a lotttt of family, together at least. So this is pretty huge for us. I am proud of the courage we have. I am ready for the change. Once again, I am SO EXCITED! Jonathan has an interview with a pretty huge company next week. SO fingers crossed and loads of prayers will be said.
