Finished at last!

I passed the MBLEX, the "Comp", and have officially graduated from school!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh.
That means, I am a Licensed Massage Therapist!
That means, I know what psoriasis is, where bile is stored, which chamber of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, and what really causes a brainfreeze! I know how to manually move lymph fluid, ease edema, and help relax a hypertonic muscle. I know how to work out "knots," and the name the bone and attachment of every muscle in the body. I know the Oriental meridians, and Ayurvedic chakras.That means, I got everything I wanted from my schooling!

I am proud to be an LMT.
And excited to break some of the misconceptions of what that means.

And...this means, after 15 months, we get our nights back!
Yaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
aka: I get to snuggle in bed with Brandon before we drift to sleep.
I get to go to bed by 10:00...or 9:00...or 8:00!!!
I get to put our kids to bed without a nightly "pass-off."
I get to live, practice, and experiment with what I have learned.
I get to someday write down the volumes of thoughts about health that I have had churning.
I get to give a gift that helps ease another's pain.
And love my career.
I get to go into hibernation for awhile.
And start gathering the licensing to work out of my home, when the boys are in school next fall.
I get to dig my toes into the dirt, and take care of our plants this spring!
And enjoy the best summer of our lives (without a thought of homework)!
I want to shower Brandon with gratitude.
Because it would have been absolutely impossible
To complete or even attempt school without his most loyal support.

I am so grateful and happy.
