Final Answer...

Thank you so much for all of your comments and suggestions. I definitely needed some fresh perspectives on the bigger picture as I have spent too long pouring over the details. After considering the comments, doing some soul searching and going to the temple I have decided to pursue physical therapy! :) YAY! After deciding for certain, dropping my CNA class and looking at PT programs I am more sure that this was the correct choice. I literally could not fall asleep a couple nights in a row because I was so excited about it. Nursing would definitely be a faster and easier road to money and career, but PT just fits me better. So I am choosing the longer, harder route to do something I will love :) There are a few nurses in my singles group and just hearing them talk about their crazy schedules, working twelve hour night shifts on the weekends so they can go to church and switching between evening and day shifts from week to week, makes me breathe a bit easier knowing that will no longer be my lot.
So now that I have a career I just need a job in the meantime. I have an interview tomorrow with a senior home care company, which is the first out of a numerous amount of applications I have submitted for positions which I am overqualified. So pray for me because I am in desperate need of income :) Thanks everyone again.

PS I have started a personal blog, which will document my road to thirty-dom.

Congratulations! I think sometimes that making the decision is the hard part, the rest is a piece of cake. (Sometimes it's the opposite, depending on the situation, and I never can really tell which it will be, but...oh well!) I'm glad you made a choice that you can love! And that you feel it's the right one for you.

Yay Lisa! and good luck finding a job! I had to humble myself and work at Bath and Body Works while I waited for Ava to be born. Not the proudest few months of my life, but it worked out. :)
