College Graduate!!

I did it! I graduated college. I finished with a 3.71 GPA. I have to wait until my Cal Grant pays off the remaining balance before I receive the diploma, though. Either way, no more school! Now what to do with my extra time?

Georgia

Over the weekend of 04/28-05/02, I got to fly out to Georgia to visit Rachel! What a great time I had. I always have so much fun with my sister. We toured a beautiful place called Calloway Gardens. I tried a chicken fried steak meal and some of Rachel's fried green tomato sandwich. We then went to her house on Ft. Benning. Rachel has done an amazing job decorating her house. I hope I someday have her talent of decorating! We went to Atlanta with some of her friends for shopping. That was similar to shopping here, but the people were a bit different. A lot more people were overweight but had no problem dressing like they were 100 pounds lighter! Motivation for me!
It was great to see the kids as well. I gave Izzie my old iPod touch for her birthday. You would have thought I gave her a new iPad. She LOVED it and was my best friend for the whole trip. Brenden is getting so big. He is now taller than me and so strong! That's good because Rachel's little dog, Tucker, will drag you down the hill if you're not strong. Tucker is absolutely adorable, but still full of puppy energy. Lexie was so cute with him. She giggled and would chase him when he had one of our shoes or clothing. Needless to say, that house is full of energy. No wonder Rachel is always asleep by 9!
I was sad to leave Rachel at the very end. I hope she is able to move back here soon. Talking on the phone every day is not enough!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there. You are much appreciated. You have formed the lives of all the wonderful people I know. For those that are newer mothers that I am blessed to know, your children are so lucky!I hope to one day have the opportunity to be a mother so I can know how inspiring and special it is to mold a child into greatness! :)

4 days left

I can't believe it! Only 4 days until I am done with school!! While I would like to say it will be forever, I know the economy may drive me to one day go back to school to achieve my MBA. For now, my Bachelor's degree in Business Management degree will have to do. My final assignment is a team assignment. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), my team mates all still have two classes left. I doubled up my classes back in December and in February so that I could graduate 05/16/2011 rather than 07/25/2011. I wanted my summer time!
I know that I will be one of those people that will have withdrawls.. thinking "shouldn't I be doing something tonight?" After 3 years and 8 months, school has become a habit. How did everyone else cope? :)
I'm sure I will find a way!
