Graduation!

Well, I have finally made it! 6 years and 4 degree changes later and I have a bachelor's degree in Social Work. Who knows how I eventually landed in social work!? I have always wanted to help people, but blood and guts was just not my thing. I have just finished a one year internship with Pocatello School District. I mainly worked with families that were struggling financially and emotionally. I also spent a lot of time in the alternate school here doing counseling and group work. I had a great time and I miss the little kiddos already. It feels amazing to be done with school. I don't have a job yet, and I don't really intend to as long as we can make it without it. I love being a mom and spending time with Emmett. He and I are great buddies. Graduation was greatly anticipated all week and when the day came, I wasn't feeling so hot. I had some kind of stomach bug.. that's what I get for eating chinese food the night before I guess haha. Anyways, I made it and I didn't puke on the stage. I think I left many to wonder if I was expecting another little one... well... nope... sorry! Not yet! We would love to have more kids once our lives slow down a bit and we are done with school! Matt finishes in May and we are super excited! 


This is me getting ready to go up on stage!


Ready to walk... I decided to wear the flats.. wasn't worth a trip on stage! 


I was so freezing cold, probably because I wasn't feeling well. Anyways, I had my dress and coat on under my gown haha


My cheering section... Minus Matt who was taking the picture. Hey these two are practically siblings! Close enough!



Emmett slept through most of the ceremony and my walking.. which was probably best for those with him in the stands. Hence the bed head look!


I LOVE my parents! I couldn't have made it through college without them. They were proud :)
