School, here I come!

So I've decided to head back to school!
Those of you that know me, know that I have always always always wanted to go to beauty school. Looking back now I regret that I didn't go a long time ago, ya know, before I had kids. Then, I was going to go, then I found out I was pregnant with Payton, and I told myself I just couldn't do it, with 2 kids and one on the way. Well, here I am 3 kids and one on the way and I'm just gonna do it! I'm gonna jump in there and get it done or I'll just keep putting it off. I was always planning on going to MATC because they're super close, and super cheap. Well, I found out that they're moving. They're not moving too far, but it's far enough that I don't want to drive that far.
So one day I was playing on line, looking up schools to see if I could get some info on prices. Well, needless to say none of them list school costs on line. I came across this school in AF, on the hospital road. That is super close to my house. I had never heard of it before. So I had to go in and check it out because of course, there wasn't a whole lot of info on line. So I went in there and met with the owners, and they are super nice. It's a really new school, so it's not too big yet. They were also running a special, $9,000 off tuition. It was still more then what I wanted to pay, but it is better then any other school, that I know of at least. But my favorite part is that they are going to be super flexible with me since ya know, I have almost 4 kids. The first 8 weeks are full time, and then after that it's just 4 hours a day. 4 hours! I can do that. But on days that my husband is home I'm going to go all day so I can get done sooner. It starts June 22. So this summer is going to be kind of crazy busy, but I just need to do it. It felt so comfortable being there and I just had the strongest feeling that I just needed to jump in and do it. So that's what I'm doing. I haven't looked into student loans yet, but hopefully that will happen tomorrow, and if I'm supposed to go then everything will fall into place. Not that I want to get ANOTHER loan, but I feel ok about it since the prophets have said it's ok to do it for school. But then it just makes me feel guilty about all of our other debt. But isn't that why I'm going to school? Yes.
Anyway, that's my life as of right now. I'm positive I will be needing models so if you're interested, let me know!!
