I blogged about L.A. but I didn't get a chance to blog about graduation. Graduation meant the world to me. It was much like my wedding day. I waited for it forever and it was over too fast. I realize that graduating college is not that big of a deal to some people but in my family it is a very big deal. Other than my aunt who graduated from Bevill's nursing program, I am the only person in my family to ever graduate from college. It has been my hope to make my grandparents and the rest of my family proud. It was a dream day and it could not have gone better. As soon as we arrived I headed to join my fellow graduates and hoped that all of my family would find each other and be able to sit together. It seemed like forever but it was finally time to walk over to Bartow Arena and it was an indescribable feeling. I just couldn't believe it was happening to me. As soon as we entered the arena we all started looking for our families. I couldn't have been more proud to see all of my family together and my boys blowing me kisses. The ceremony didn't last as long as I thought it would and the moment they called my name was over before I knew it. As soon as the ceremony was over I just couldn't wait to hug my husband. It's been a long 5 years and we have walked every step together. He has been there every step of the way and this wasn't my accomplishment, it was OUR accomplishment. We worked hard for this and we are so excited for this change in our lives. It has not been easy to live off of one income and we are ready for change. I couldn't hold back my tears when I was finally in his arms.
After graduation I headed to my party. A party that my sister and Field planned. They had help from a lot of people including Lori, my mom, and Crystal Reno. It was so awesome to be surrounded by all of the people who love me and support me. I don't know that I have ever felt more loved in my life.
Luckily, Lori was babysitting the little rascals that night so Field and I had plenty of time to talk about how grateful and blessed we are. It was an amazing day that I will never forget. Now I am working hard to find a job. Please pray that God works this situation out for our family. We need to know where to register Rylan for kindergarden and whether to register Baden for preschool. I am in good spirits about it and have faith that it will work out.
