Graduation Day

Today I graduated from college (well, kind of).

It was such an awesome day. With four years of college behind me, I'm so excited to embark on the next chapter of my life.

And, as I look back on today, I can't help but think I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Tonight, I was surrounded by family and friends I love and adore, many who traveled out of their way to celebrate with me. I love you all. Thanks for making my day so special.

Work, Work, Work

Whoever said working was fun needs to get a life. If this is fun, please shoot me now!

On the other hand, I guess I should be thankful I have a job. But, right now, I'd be more than willing to trade it for a nap.

Update!

The past few weeks have been so relaxing! I only have one class during May, so I really don't know what to do with myself.

Everything is going well in our world. Scott and I spent the last couple of weeks looking up addresses for our wedding list and sending out save-the-dates. We also met with our wedding coordinator at Eaglewood to finalize times and details for our wedding day. Ohh...I'm getting so excited! We've hit the six month mark--less than six months to go. We really just can't wait!

In other news...

I graduate in a week. I am so excited to be finished with school, yet nervous also. Getting married has kind of changed my plans a bit, as I'm shifting from thinking about my plans for the future to OUR plans for the future. Graduate school is still at the top of the list, but I'm not sure when that will happen. But, for the time being, I am perfectly content in taking a break and spending some time with my fabulous man!

Well, that's all for now :)
