Oh The Places You'll Go...

This Dr. Suess book is always brought up around the time of year that students are graduating high school and college. This is the time that I am in my life as well. Oh the places I will go now that I am a college graduate!!! That's actually our next plan for our lives. We have spent the past 2 years planning what we would do the semester before I graduate. Well, now that time has come and gone so now we are going to start planning places we want to go...THEN we will talk about adding kids to this crazy household, so don't get any ideas about that happening anytime soon! :)

So back to the whole purpose of this post. On Friday, May 7th I walked across the stage at APSU becoming one of the many Spring 2010 college graduates.
It was a hot and crazy day, but the job is complete. I will be able to pick up my diploma in June, but I at least got pictures and a little tube to put it in! My family and friends came to support and cheer me on which was a fantastic feeling. Truth be told though, I don't feel any different than I did before the ceremony began. It felt like any other day. I think the reason why is because I never completed my student teaching placement. Schools closed for the week in Cheatham County due to the flood and I was unable to say bye. I did not have closure, but I am going this week to tell them all good-bye! I also didn't have to take a final or write a paper or anything else that other people have to do. I worked (without pay), so it was just a very different feeling than I think many other people experience. Here are some of the people who shared in my day...






There were other people who were there as well but I didn't manage to get a picture with them. :( My younger sister, Moriah, had a softball game so there were some people who left during or immediately after to make it to her game. They won state by the way to those who were wondering how that worked out.

I spent the rest of the night celebrating with my friends. We went to a restaurant called Lime that is in Downtown Nashville. Just as a side note, if you want some awesome Mexican food...this is the place that you want to go! It was fabulous! I had a great graduation night of celebration. Thank you to all my friends who made it out to celebrate such a big day in my life!






God has blessed me with an awesome family! Thank you for supporting me, for putting up with my rants and vents, for not letting me quit, for listening to my issues because we know there were many, for being a shoulder to cry on, for celebrating my high points and lifting me up in my low points, and for loving me through it all! I couldn't have made it to this point without all of you!

Oh the places we'll go....
