The school was founded by Mary Breckinridge in the 40's. It is the first school of midwifery in the country and also the first to offer distance education. This is the historical dormitory I stayed in. 
My little room. Cute, eh?
The school is in a very rural part of the Kentucky Appalachians about 2 hours from Lexington. We drove there in a school bus from the airport during an ice storm. Quite an adventure.
My new friends and classmates. It was so affirming and inspirational to be surrounded by like-minded people as passionate about birth and committed to the education and empowerment of women as I am. My class is actually about 30 people, but we split into more manageable groups. There are 30 or more students enrolled in the Family Nurse Practioner program as well.

congrats on starting school! I am jealous - it sounds like a fantastic opportunity. I will keep your family in my prayers, one day at a time, you can do it.
I was wondering where you've been! Good luck...and I will say that you are a little crazy. :-)
Congratulations. So do you have to go back to Kentucky periodically, or is pretty much everything done through distance learning? I'm trying to picture you in the backwoods of the Kentucky Appalacians....I'm afraid its a picture I'm having trouble with...(just kidding)
And knock it off with the self-doubt stuff. You'll do fine!
