Graduation

Hiiiii-o!! Yesterday, I officially became a college graduate! The typical kind- no job, no prospects, and no money. Even with all that, I still feel so happy and proud of myself for making it this far and finally finishing. It was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have done so far. 

I wouldn't have made it without the support of my wonderful family and friends. I don't feel like I graduated from college, I feel like WE graduated. They have been there to listen to me cry, vent, complain and so much more for the past few years and I couldn't be more appreciative for them. Thanks guys!

The ceremony...long and hot. I think I sweated out all the liquids I had drank for the past week. It was hot, but it could have been a lot worse. Thanks Georgia summer for making the sun hotter than ever and allowing no breeze to come thru front campus between the hours of 8:30 and 11. 

I have to admit that I was in diva mode all week because I THOUGHT my family had planned a baseball party for my nephew on the same day as my graduation. I was kinda ok with it at first, but then once it got closer I realized I wanted to spend the day with my family, but that they would be rushing home to prepare for the party. 

Ian aka (not so) mystery boy drove 8 hours on Friday to be here and he pretty much took me away from them right after. I thought he felt bad for me since I had cried to him the day before about how no one seemed to care about being with me on graduation. So he took me to lunch and a movie then kept suggesting things to do because "he didn't wanna go home because it was boring." If you know him, he loves being home. He is such a home body. Finally I was released from his care and I came home. 

Long story short, around 5pm I see people starting to arrive at my sisters which is right next door to my house. I assumed it was people from my nephew's baseball team....wouldn't you know it....

They were all my friends. My silly and crazy big sister had been planning this whole graduation party behind my back and ALL my friends were in on it for at least a week prior to graduation. 

My immediate feeling was digust..with myself for being such a rude little brat all day. I had to then apologize to my family for being so snappy. She got a kick out of my anger I think because deep down she knew I was going to regret it in a matter of time!! Ridic.

It was a great time with all my closest family and friends and as I sit here and type this blog and think about how things are about to change for everyone, it makes me emotional. Two of my best friends are moving 2+ hours away and it makes me happy for them to be moving on with their lives but makes me sad because I am going to miss them like crazy!  

Congrats girls. I know you are going to be awesome and are going to do all the best things in the world and I can't wait to be cheering you on every step of the way!

And now begins the picture overload! :)

Thanks for all your kind words and support this semester bloggers! Some of you have been there a lot for me and I can't say thank you enough! I am officially back and I know you are so excited!

Also, for those 2 people who unfollowed me, I hope you feel bad. I was trying to graduate college and couldn't blog that much. Sorry I was no good but you should be ashamed :)

Just kidding....maybe.
