I MADE IT!!!!! I am officially a college grad!  It feels fantastic!  It's scary at the same time.  I just breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when I walked across that stage and got my (empty) diploma case and heard my family yell for me.  It. Was. Wonderful!


Dear Parents, Thank you for all of the support, encouragement, and understanding you have given me the past 4 years!  I couldn't have done it without you.

Dear Patty, Thanks for being a great teacher, cousin, and someone I could look up to!  You had quite an influence on my becoming a teacher.  You are one of my inspirations and I love you!  

Dear Mylie and Payton, Thank you girls SO MUCH for coming to graduation! It made me so happy to have you there.  I just love you girls and I'm so glad that God has allowed me to be a part of your lives! 

Dear Zach, Do you have any idea how much you make me smile?  A LOT.  I can't even begin to tell you how much your support and encouragement has meant to me over the past year and a half.  I'm pretty certain I would have lost my mind without having you around to tell me everything will always work out...yes, you were right...now you have it in writing ;)  I love you and I am so blessed and overjoyed to have you in my life!!!  God has certainly spoiled me!
