Texas girl: Master's Degree

Well, today I got some really great news. My boss told me that if I wanted to go ahead and pursue my master's degree in health care admin, the hospital would pay 100% of it. WOW!!! How could I ever pass that up?? I'm not sure what this could do for me in the future, but I'm willing to give it a try!! I know the first class has 7 papers due...in 2 months. I figure that is about a paper a week. I have to complete 12 classes to obtain my masters. I'm hoping that in the future...Karen will let me run the new hospital we are opening in Tradition. It's about 3 years out...but closer to home and I will definitely be qualified! I'm so excited...and hoping to start the class in July or August. Please wish me luck...I'll need it!

Well, when there is good news...seems like there is always bad news right behind it. I just found out my mom's cousin has lung cancer. Such a sad day for her and our family. She has already had stomach cancer requiring a colostomy and recovered well from all of that. Now...about 3 years later they found spots on her lungs and decided to do a biopsy. The news was devastating today...lung cancer. Can you imagine finding that out? She's not even that old and has never smoked a day in her life. Such a horrible thing! Cancer...why do so many people get cancer??? It's an awful thing and those people suffer so much! I pray that the lord just touches Gene and heals her! The Bible says through his stripes we are healed. Lord just touch her today and take away all of her cancer. Please help her and my family through this horrible time. Cancer is the devil just trying to steal her life away from her. Please give her peace that everything will be ok. We pray these prayers in your holy name...AMEN!

These things we pray and believe!!!

Well, after tonight, I have 6 days off! Yeah!! My project this week is to make another cake...yes, my new passion!!! I'm going to make a simple white wedding cake this week. I can't wait! Now, just to get good enough to sell them. When my dad comes in July, I'm going to make him a chocolate cake with white frosting, white fondant and chocolate dipped strawberries on top per his request. This will be a new challenge because I've never mad chocolate fondant. I'm going to find a pic of the cake I want to make and post it on here. I think this will be fun!

Last week I bought my loving husband a watch he has wanted for a very long time. It was the Tag Links with diamonds around the bezel. Very beautiful and expensive! It was priced at $5800...but I talked them down to $3500. I thought this was a great deal! It has 1 carat of diamonds and they are all almost flawless. The watch is nothing to the love I have with him. He is such a wonderful man under all those muscles and laziness! I'm a hard woman to deal with and he's a hard man to clean up after...but in the end...there is so much love between us! So, here is the picture of my newest investment!
