I have a sick desire to fill my life far beyond what I can handle and stress myself to the point of tears so here I go again into another full semester with 19 credits that have been haunting me for the past 3 weeks. 19 credits of difficult classes, preparing for graduation, finding professors to write letters of recommendation, taking the GRE, applying to the Nutrition program all while trying my hardest to be a worthy mother and wife of my sweet Chase and Daniel. So in reference to this blog "If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down." Even when I find the time to update it I'm sure our lives won't be filled with much excitement (unless your nerds like us and enjoy sometimes meaningless information).

However I do want you all to know about my great husband who has given up his dream of having a Ph.D. and has sacrificed saving for a house, and has sacrificed a nice 8-5 work week to help me fulfill my dreams. Daniel has encouraged me to chase any and all the dreams I have had since we have gotten married and has bent over backwards to help me get moving.



....and then there is my mom who drove 4 hours every other week (at 4 in the morning mind you) for one day of watching Chase while I was in school all day over the summer and drove 4 hours back home the same night most of the time all so Daniel could squeeze in extra hours at work.

....and then there is my dad who sacrificed having my mom at home for those days and suffered through wanting to be here with Chase himself but having to be at work..... and then my little Chase puts up with me studying instead of always playing with him which is what I would rather do anyways.



I don't know why, but I have been so blessed... beyond what I deserve.

Good luck with school. That's awesome you have the desire to finish now. I thought I was feeling picked on for taking my two credits on line and working one 12 hour shift a week. I guess there is always something worse!

Good luck Kimbrey!! You will be so glad that you finished now instead of putting it off. 19 credits though--ouch!! I'm sure you will do great and ace them all.
Take care!!

Someday you'll look back and wonder how you did it! For now, it's okay to cry sometimes! Good luck!

As hard as it seems, it is never easier to finish than it is right now. Hang in there, take it one day at a time, and call me anytime. I'll come a runnin'!

Good luck with all that you have to accomplish, I'm pretty impressed with how you've stuck with school and all of your goals, even with Chase. Keep at it, if there is anything I can do to help, I will. Just let me know!

Kimbrey -- good for you to stick with your dreams and goals! There are to many people in the world that settle for less and give up on their desires, so hang in there. 19 credits, you are going to be so busy but I know you can do it and I'm sure after you finish them you will look back and again see our Father in Heaven's hand in all of it. Good luck, we miss you guys. To bad I'm not in Farmington anymore because I would love to babysit for you. He is such a cute little guy!

That is awesome, you have a really good family to help you out. I keep thinking I need to go back and things keep standing in the way. Hopefully I will be able to get my degree soon. I might need some advice on doing it all.

You can do it Kimbrey! Good luck with the semester!
