Twenty months ago I began this little journey with little thought, which was very stupid.

BUT...today it came to an end...kind of.

After Ryan's dentist appointment today, he came to school to pick up a very important package from me and take it to the post office to go to Long Island, New York.  Inside that little bubble mailer was a CD that I spent the last two weeks working on.  It was a culmination of the last year and a half of sacrificing my time, my marriage, my housework, and time with my family.  It was a gathering of knowledge. 

Today I mailed off the portfolio I needed to complete my Master's degree.  No more homework, no more DVD's, no more reading, unless *I* want to!  I'm so excited!

On the other hand, I'm almost 100% sure my professior will be returning my electronic portfolio because I didn't do something right.  I've had this professor for the past two courses and she's pretty much hated everything I turn in, and I've barely passed those classes with a low B.  So I'm looking forward to having it returned to me--because I'm pretty sure it will be.

I am excited though, to be pretty much done before the holidays.  Ry said I could go home before Christmas this year, so I fly to Fargo the day after school gets out.  My mom thinks I get in the 26th, but my sister and I are concocting a plan to surprise her.  I miss my family bad, but I'm hoping with this extra time I can spend more time with my husband.  We went on a date this weekend and it was just...nice.  It was nice to relax with him.

So...like Jesus said...IT IS FINISHED!

Woot!
