I'm Back!!!

So...as I have said previously last Friday was my graduation! It feels so surreal...I finished all my course work last Tuesday and have kept myself so busy since then that it really doesn't feel any different! The nice part about it all though, is that the things I have kept busy with I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Honestly, I don't' think I know how to slow down but I am enjoying the idea of accomplishing all the new projects I have in mind!

Part of me misses school already, I enjoy learning and developed some great friendships. The main reason I was looking forward to being done was to rid the stress that comes with homework. I look forward to having time to cook meals, clean, and help my hubby with his homework, and most of all to just be me again! I probably have like 50 craft projects in mind:)

Dan's dad came up from St. George fr my graduation. It was so nice to have him stay with us for a day or so. My parents, Dan's mom, my Grandpa Musker, and my Aunt and cousins were all able to join in for the celebration Friday morning.

That evening we had a combined Graduation/Birthday (Dan's) Bash for family and a few close friends that weren't able to attend that morning. It was nice to see everyone and I appreciate all the help and support everyone gave us.

My crazy cupcakes that I ambitiously accomplished after graduation before the party started.

They are all sorts of heads with graduation caps and birthday hats

The beginning of my card collection..it's huge now:)

My friend Julia and her sister Katie

My Sister-in-Law Natalie, and friends Dana and Mike

Amy (middle) and I became quite the study buddies towards the end. I think the two of us spent more time together than not with having the same courses for the past three semesters. I am going to miss seeing her all the time!

So what now? well, yesterday I "interviewed" for my job here at WSU. My current job is a student position and it will be changing to a classified position with full benefits and such. I look forward to the potential opportunity to stay here. I have really liked working at Weber.

On a site note, Saturday morning I dropped my parents off at the airport to pick my brother up from his mission! They are currently with him and will be returning home this next Monday. It feels so WEIRD to me that he is coming home. The last time Rueben and I lived in the same State was before he even had his drivers license!

P.S. I accomplished my blogging goal a FULL 5 DAYS ahead of schedule for all that wondered!
