graduating.

Wait what? I'm not only enough to graduate. I've only been in school for three years.
Oh, I don't get my diploma until December. Oh okay, I get ya. :]

Sunday, May 1, 2011::in the rain. [good planning EMU...] but i was surrounded by the people i love. 2 parents. 1 sister. 1 brother-in-law. 4 grandparents. 1 fiance. 2 soon to be in-law parents. 1 soon to be in-law brother & his girlfriend. lots of fellow graduates & friends. wow wonderful. 

I love this man. He has been nothing but supportive &  I know he will continue to support me in everything that I do.
[will post more pictures from grad later]

I'm done with classroom work & I'm done with EMU campus. The rest of the work I have to do to earn my degree is hands-on, life-changing, fun work::


Three weeks in Peru visiting Cusco, Machu Picchu & Arequipa.

4 months in Washington D.C. studying social issues & doing my social work practicum. 

Still deciding where to do it at:: 

KidsPeace - A treatment foster care program providing mental and behavioral services  OR

My Sister's Place  - A shelter for domestic violence serving battered women & their children 

I will officially graduate December 16, 2011. Fifteen days later, I'll be married. 

2011 has & will continue to be an exciting year. 

I am so blessed. Praise the Lord.
