Grad

5.5.12

Last time we spoke, 

i was getting ready for graduation

Sad to say that day never came....

{Just kidding}

you better believe i made sure it happened!

after 16 years dedicated to classes and school

im finally F.R.E.E.

{woot woot}

kind of crazy to think that im done

school is such a huge part of our lives

from age 5 until your 20's your in school.

now its just... over.

{wait}

that sounded like i was sad.

i guess i kind of am

its fun to be around friends and new people

and learning new things

but man am i READY to be done!

{that sounds more like it}

{stoked}

{my major - Family, Consumer, Human Development - and also Health}

{its official}

Graduation day seemed kind of surreal the whole day

{still kind of does}

My family and my in-laws were able to be there

we had a little party before i had to leave

lunch, cake, presents.. the whole shabang!

{cake from my family}

{Flowers from my Sweetie}


{flowers from my parents}


And my mom even made these cute little
graduation cap treats!

Then i was off to the ceremony

which lasted about an hour

and you better believe

i walked across that stage PROUD

Back to the presents part...
My family was so sweet to have this little party
to celebrate this big day for me!
They all came bearing gifts too
{my kind of party}
Spencer bought me the new iPad 3


My in laws got us a Vitamix {high tech blending machine}


My parents got us an ALL expense paid trip to Hawaii for 10 days

and they also paid for my ENTIRE college education!
i couldn't be more grateful!
honestly, i dont think i would have finished
if i would have had to pay for it myself.
And now that i have finished, i realize how blessed i am
and how glad i am that i have this degree under my belt.
So thank you!

So i think we all know how much i LOVE gifts,
and I am so grateful for all of my gifts,
but mostly i really am grateful for such a
supportive and loving family.
Thank you. I love you.
