Coming to the end of this Journey, starting a new path


The last few months have been stressful.  It seems that this term has taken the longest and I know it is because this is the final term and I have been anticipating it for so long.  The stress is beginning to set in.  I am beyond happy to be finishing up at Kaplan with a Bachelors Degree in Human Service for Child and Family Welfare.  I am anxious to receive my diploma and start a new chapter in my life.  I thank Kaplan for everything they have done for me and for all the help of the academic team, professors, and classmates a long the way.  But, now the stress starts in. Coming to an end with this degree means the struggle of trying to find a job. I no longer want just a job I want a career which is why I went back to school.  I plan on having my baby in 8 weeks and start job hunting not to long after.  I have enjoyed being an Army wife over the past 5 years. There have been trials and tribulations just like there is in any other obstacles you will face in life. But I would not have changed it. We have had the opportunity to be able to travel, met new people and experience new things.  But now that is coming to an end to. We have about 11 months left in the Army. It is still debatable if my husband is going to reenlist or not but at the moment we are against it. Which means on top of having a new degree, and a new baby we will be trying to find new careers for the both of us while I try and continue my education for my next degree, while having to move and decide if we are going to buy a house or not.  Being an army wife I am use to the unknown and am use to the constant change and the fact that nothing your plan stays the same.  However, I usually only have to worry about one or two things not being constant not everything changing at once. We really don't even know adulthood outside of the Army and it is going to be a big adjustment for us.  I may be extremely stress, and nervous, but I am also overly excited and anxious.  I can not wait for the new path and journey that my family is about to turn on. :)
