It's been a while...

...but I have good excuses. Let's see, the past week has been a little hectic. Combined with Christmas coming very soon, I haven't had a whole lot of time. But I do have good news...

I graduated!!

That's me and my family. My brother, my very proud mom, myself, and my sister. I just want to say how wonderful my mom is. She raised 3 kids and watched them all graduate from college - woooohoooo, good job mom! And my sister - we're NOT twins. Everyone swears we are, but we are actually 8 years apart.

Not only did I graduate, D graduated too! I think it's awesome that we actually got to walk together. Here's D and his family.

And here we are walking...

I'm sooooo proud of D. And I can't believe we are finally done with college!!!

The next excuse I have is...drum roll please...

I GOT A NEW JOB! It was very random and just came up so quickly. The position is tailored more towards my degree and there's a lot of potential for growth. New year and new job! I start the first week in January and I hope to excel in it.

So that's it. Those are my excuses - I think they're fairly good. I promise to get back on track. :)
