It has been about 3 years since I have posted and I have decided to start up again! I love reading Abbie's blog and the other day she had talked about looking back at her own old posts and seeing what was going on in life at that time. I got to reading my old posts and I love seeing where I was in life and where I am now!
So the last time I posted I was starting my sophomore year at IU. A LOT has changed since then!! When starting IU my plan was to graduate in Exercise Science and then go to Physical Therapy school right after I graduate for another 3 years of school. Well I guess God has other plans! I actually graduated a year early from IU and instead of moving home I decided to move to Indy with Zack (he attends IUPUI). Because I graduated early I had a year off to apply to PT school. In that time I had to find a job. I was so lucky to find a wonderful job working as an ABA therapist for children with autism. I applied and got wait-listed to ISU's PT program pending their accreditation. Because I was not sure if they would be accredited, I decided to start a Master's of Special Education program through Ball State. (Inspired by my job) Luckily I did this, because ISU did not get accredited. I would be lying if I said I wasn't devastated. BUT life does go on :)
Zack and I moved back to Daviess County after our lease was up. He has one more year of school left but next year he will live with his aunt to save money!! Fortunately, the company I worked for in Indy had clients in Bloomington so I am currently working in Bloomington. Unfortunately I am only with one client so driving to Bloomington a couple days a week is not a realistic career. I know that I want to work with children, just not 100% what I will be doing. I am finishing out my masters program, but I have been looking at other options as well! My heart is really in therapy so I plan on applying to Physical Therapy school and should know about that by the end of the year. If that does not work I plan on applying to Occupational School next Jan/Feb. Both are very competitive, so we will just see!
I have always been a bit of a planner when it comes to the future. My biggest struggle has been letting go of my plans and letting life happen. I am so blessed with an amazing family, boyfriend, and friends and really could not ask for a better life!
