Update on me

It has been a couple of weeks of challenges and triumphs for me. I finallly won the initial battle with Valdosta State. I am completely registered and have actually started the first of 9 classes I will need to obtain my Educational Specialist degree. There were some tech glitches on both my part and VSU's part the first three days of class, but I was able to access class and get my homework done on Friday--two whole days early!
I also started an intensive walking workout this evening in preparation for something I have never done before. Inspired by Travis' performance in the recent Disney marathon, Travis, Sarah and I have decided to participate in the Disney Royal Family 5K walk/run on March 7th at Epcot. I can walk a mile in about 18 mins, but I need to get it to a minimum of 15 mins in order to qualify for this. I feel "nothing ventured-nothing gained." Maybe it will help me push through the plateau I seem to be at with my weight. I have also signed up with our new WOW (watching our weight) program we have started for faculty at Eighth Street. We have our first official workout tomorrow and believe it or not, I am excited!
I had a wonderful day today. I was able to take the Elders and Sisters, along with Rodney Burns, to Andersonville today. It was a really good visit because we were basically the only people there. We especially wanted to visit the Little Drummer Boy Museum in the actual town of Andersonville because it has some really cool and unique items in it. Much to our dismay, it had a closed sign on the door when we pulled up. I noticed that although the door was closed, it did not have a lock on it and there was a light on. I pushed open the door and the gentlement sitting there told me that they were closed for their yearly maintainence. As I was leaving, he told me that I looked familiar. I told him that I bring my students to Andersonville every year. He then told me that was where he recognized me from. He asked who I was here with and when I told him I was here with our missionaries. Lo and behold, he let us into the museum and did not even charge us! I know the Lord had a hand in that particular experience.
