Dreams come true..

This week two of my dreams will come true. I can hardly believe it. I am so grateful to the Lord for making my dreams come true. To God be the glory. I found it unbelievable that only 22% of Alabamians graduate from college. It seems like more than 22% of the people I know are college graduates so this surprised me. I don't think you have to go to college to be successful or to find something you are passionate about. But I can't help but be "giddy" over this accomplishment. To be honest I never thought I would finish. When I began this journey 5 years ago I had a newborn baby and a desire to be independent. I wanted to know that if something ever happened to my husband, I could take care of myself and my baby. I wanted that little boy to be proud of his mother. I wanted him to go to college. How could I expect him to go to college if I didn't? Not only am I finishing, I went straight through and did not take a single class that I did not need. I can not imagine what life would be like if I had not gone to school. When I think if all the things I would have missed it makes me sad. I learned so much. Not just educational things but life experiences. I met so many people from so many places. I have made amazing friends. Particularly my Brittany. Where would I be without her? I can't imagine. She is so kindhearted and unselfish. I have only ever known one other person like her. I am sure everyone will be glad when this week is over and I stop talking about it. Not only am I graduating, I'm also going to Hollywood. Yes, this is a dream come true. If you know me well, you know how obsessed I am with celebrities. I have always been fascinated with old Hollywood and old movies. I am so excited. I am excited to be going on a trip with my hubby. He has a crazy work schedule so we don't get to spend that much time together. We love to travel and we have been fortunate enough to have traveled quite a bit. We have a blast when we travel and I am praying this trip goes well. I have to be honest I am nervous about being so far away from children. I am also nervous about flying. I do not like to fly. This is also the first trip I have booked through a website so I am nervous about that. I can't wait to see so many things that I have only seen on tv. It's an exciting week. I am praying all goes well.
