Very exciting (and scary)!

If you haven't heard yet, I have been accepted to the University of Oregon's Art and Administration graduate program in Eugene, OR. I can't believe it... I really was not expecting to get in. So Eric, Luka, and I are facing some HUGE changes... the most obvious is relocating to Eugene, the second most obvious is me going back to school! It's scary, slightly stressful, and completely great at the same time. I'll be getting a master's in Arts Management, which I am really looking forward to. I'm scared out of my mind... and both Eric and I have a hundred "what if" questions and concerns. We have to make some tough decisions like, will Eric stay in Portland if he does't find a job in Eugene... will I find good child care for Luka in time... will I be able to manage a full-time curriculum with being a mom... can we really afford all this??! Of course we will work it all out (we're good at that). I'm so happy to see some of my future unfold. Having been unemployed for the last 14 months (granted I've been taking care of my Luka) and unable to land a new job made me question my abilities and talents... I'm so happy the University sees something in me. Phew, my head is spinning... so for now I'm just going to concentrate on Easter this weekend!!
