holy moly, it's decemberrrr!!!!

It is December which means it's time for Christmas preparations, the celebration of Jesus' birth, colder weather, gift-giving, baking, decorating, yummy smells annnnnnd GRADUATION!!! :)

It's so weird to think that after 20 whole years of going to school, I will no longer be a student in 3 days. No more homework, papers, assignments, projects, or exams! No more weekday-evening-reading or being studious while Robert's enjoying his responsibility-free weeknights. No more weekends filled with the mental battle of choosing between fun or homework! Guilt-free weekends are SO very exciting to think about! :)

I'm excited...and I know Robert's also excited about all what our time will hold now that...well, I'll have WAY more time for life! :) I'm looking forward to more interesting, well-planned dinners, and more free time on the weekends for SLEEPING IN, running, traveling, living, and just having a REAL weekend! I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but I'm SO excited.

I'm so thankful for all of the support and guidance from so many mentors, professors, friends and colleagues at Old Dominion and I've been extremely blessed by all of the prayers, encouragement, kind words, and the solid foundation my friends and family have provided during my graduate school journey. Thank you!

More news to come about my FUTURE this week...just waiting on official stuff. ;) This time next week...you can call me MASTER!
