Done and Over with

I am tired, excited and so relived that I am done with my graduate school!!! YES!!!! Being accepted in the program on my mom’s birthday two years ago and graduating on my birthday this past weekend was the best timing ever (well, may be just second to my daughter’s birth after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, giving me time to enjoy those two holidays)!

In spite of all the challenges this past weekend (stressing that a bottle of vodka will break after being asked to check the bag with it in at the LAX, getting lost driving around Pittsburgh, being snubbed at the hair salon, being rained all over my just done hair, missing first class completely and being late to the next one, not catching up with some of my classmates, getting lost again on the way to Dave & Busters, running a red light and almost colliding with a car and finally dealing with a mean flight attendant “not authorizing” my daughter to use a bathroom because the belt sign was up???) we had wonderful time! It was great to see my in-laws again, who flew from Oregon and my husband’s uncle from Florida and it was so much fun going to breakfast and dinner together, with my sister-in-law graciously driving.

I will post pictures from the events tomorrow, since they are still packed in my bag at home.
