Graduation

I FINALLY have time to update what has been going on the last 3 weeks! Life has been crazy, and kind of a mess. But it has been amazing and I have gone through some seriously life changing experiences, and I am happier than I ever remember being! We did go through a rough patch right before the wedding, but I won't talk about that for this post. This post is supposed to be a good one, so I am going to keep it that way! Graduation - yes, I did it! I actually stayed in Rexburg for 3 years and got my Bacheolrs Degree in Elementary Education! Graduated a year early, thanks to taking 16-19 credits every semester....yes, some kicked by rear, but it has still been great. It does feel great to be done with college (until Masters...if that happens...) but I have definitely had some great experiences that I will miss. I finished with the best grades I have ever gotten, and I am happy with how things ended! I still have student teaching left, then it'll be time to find a teaching job somewhere close to help get Mark through school...we have a LONG way to go. Student teaching starts on August 23rd. It's coming up INSANELY fast, I don't even know if I am prepared for it! I wish we were able to get back up to school earlier than the day before I start student teaching...but alas, that is not the case. But that's okay, we have a family reunion to look forward to. Hopefully I will be ready for student teaching...I feel prepared, I think...??? :/ I guess we shall see!

Graduation day was a great day for sure! Mark was in town, Tommy was in town, Jana and her son Beck were here, my parents came, and Scott and his family were there too. It was great to have the majority of the family there for such a big event! Thank you Jana for taking such wonderful pictures :)
