On your mark, get set, go into the New Year!
At the start of 2017, my blog buddy JulieLou Click Here to Visit
shared the New ____ of 2017.
As of March, my list looks like this.
New Hopes
New Dreams
New Challenges
Downsizing ... I did accomplish cleaning two closets. I had to say good bye to some items I was hanging on to from the boys child hood. This was very hard. I had my husband drive to Goodwill to donate the items the same day of the project, so I would not run to the car and pull the items back out and return to the closet.

something I planned to help with .... I ended up as the leader
New Experiences
Active Shooter Class
an eye opening experience
New Projects
I am excited to announce New Hope ....
For many years I have wanted to take the Master Gardener course. I looked into it year 2016, but I had several family commitments. I decided not to try.
At the start of January I noticed an article in my agriculture newspaper I subscribe to. The header of the article caught my eye, Master Gardener training set in Spooner. The advertisement read " Garden enthusiasts interested in learning more about horticulture " .... I discussed the class, the desire, the hope of becoming a Master Gardner with my husband. He shared with me that he wanted me to take the course. He knows I have hoped to do this for many years.
I applied at the end of January.
I have been accepted!
Class starts this week. I am excited and nervous all at the same time.
My blog schedule will be a little different as I get use to going to school.
I will keep you posted on how class is going.
Maybe you can help quiz me towards exam time.
Thank you my dear blog friends, you all are special to me. This is a special community.

How about you?
Are the New ____ that you started or thought of for 2017 showing progress?
I'm so excited for you on this new adventure and being a student again! You will do great!! I just know it!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you. I longed to take that course, too, and got accepted and then John found out he had cancer (the first time) so I had to give up my space in class. I would still love to do it though. Whooo Hoooo....Enjoy!!! xo Diana

I am so happy for you, Carla, and kudos for taking that leap. Please tell me more about the class...what it involves and how do they determine who is accepted as well. I really couldn't do it but I've always wondered what it involved. And of course...you are going to ace it all! :)
