I've been MIA. I'm sorry! About a month ago, I decided to continue my education online through Walden University. So far, I'm pretty happy with the Masters of Education program I'm in, but you all weren't kidding when you said it was going to be work!
In addition to working full time and trying to continue some semblance of a social life, I've been going crazy with papers and discussion posts and deadlines. Most recently, I decided to put off a paper I was given two weeks to do until three days before the due date.
You would think that as a teacher, I would understand that teachers give certain amounts of time and certain due dates a reason right? Wrong. Obviously she gave me two WHOLE weeks to do this paper because she wanted me to have a stupendous Memorial Day weekend with no schoolwork to stress me out. Obviously.
Anyway, I have a ton of things to update you ladies on, including my very first Chili Cookoff Concert in DC and that graduation I was telling you all about! Stay tuned and cross your fingers for me....

Story Time
As I was scanning the blogs while being snowed in this weekend, I happened upon this super cute "chain blog topic" (yes, I think I just made that up - but it totally makes sense!) posted by Kell. Luckily, I checked which picture I'd be using before committing myself to this blog post, just in case it was one of those all too frequent ugly/awkward/ridiculous ones I have floating around my computer... Here are your instructions and my story. Enjoy!
This is a photo of (almost) my entire family on the day I graduated from college. From the top left it is my brother, my mom, my dad, Aunt Toni, Kameron, me and my Mom Mom. All that's missing is the sister in law, other niece and new nephew. This was really special day for me, since I worked extra hard to get that degree - I had to complete all the requirements for an English major PLUS earn my Early Childhood Education certification, all while working 10-20 hours a week, taking part in the Varsity Cheerleading team, and staying active in Phi Mu. I was one busy lady for those 4 1/2 years!
This is even more special because it is one of the last times I got to have my entire family, my Mom Mom included, all together to celebrate. I know that my whole family, but especially my Mom Mom, was so proud of me. I had finally accomplished something that no one else in my family had before. She got to see me graduate from college AND become a real life teacher 3 weeks later! When I'm sad and missing her, I can think back to this day and remember how happy she was for me and how I am so grateful for her being able to share such a special, important day with me.
