zanthessI forgot to mention the best news of the evening.
Yesterday, while my mom and I were hanging out at the gift show, the topic of discussion eventually turned to school. I still hadn't told her that I was getting an Associates instead of a Bachelors, and it needed to be done.
When I told her, she got excited and told me she was just so excited I was finishing school. She said that hindsight being 20/20, college is more than just learning and getting a paper, there's a whole lot more to learn for life. I told her I was afraid because I had to let her know I was just getting an Associates. Her face then turned hard, and she told me not to call it "just an associates". It was a degree, and it was more than she could say of herself.
I'm totally touched and blown away. I was ready for a meltdown, and she ripped the drama rug from under my feet.
Jake and I then talked, and we decided it would be best if I didn't work for the next school quarter, and finish my degree in one quarter.
Yes, we have our drama, but I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world.
