Graduation and Mother's Day

I totally loved the graduating part, and being able to say that I AM A COLLEGE GRADUATE!! But really, the whole graduation was not as thrilling as I expected. Loved the 30 minute interlude with someone giving a speech who I had never seen before, followed by 1 hour of name calling and finally another 30 minute speech and giving of the senior gift (which I couldn't even see because the girl in front of me was so wearing her cap half way down the back of her head! ha) But walking up on stage consisted of stopping -posing for a picture, running to shake a hand, and stopping and posing for another picture again..hahaa, a total of 20.7 seconds of my life! YAY, and by the way I totally love how my diploma doesn't come in the mail til oh about JUNE...ha




But I am glad my family and friends were there to share in the festivities!! My friend Keri came from Asheville on Friday so I dragged her around Charlotte running errands the entire day!! My family got here on Saturday and we got to spend the day together! We went and at at Brixx and then went to see Star Trek (not something I planned or really wanted to see, but it actually ended up being better than I thought it would be!!)


Thanks so much for everyone who has helped and put up with me for the last five years as I struggled to make it to graduation! Especially to my Mom who I love so dearly and I am so thankful that she is my Mom! She has done everything with such a kind heart and has always been there and willing to listen when I needed someone to talk to, to laugh with and a shoulder to cry on! Thanks to my Mom, I love you!!
