Graduation!!!

I finally did it and to think it only took me 17 and 1/2 yrs.I've been in school since I was 5 1/2 when I started pre-K. That seems like so long ago but I can still remember things from when I was that young. This past friday (Dec. 19) I graduated from LSU with a degree in sociology. The main question I've been asked is, What are you going to do with your degree?, my answer: absolutely nothing. I got my degree cause I started and I wasn't going to quit even though half way through I knew that's not what I wanted to do anymore. I wanted to work in a dentist office and that's exactly what I'm doing and I'll be there as long as God allows me to be.I look back and think of all the things I've learned over the years of my schooling. Even though I won't be using my degree in theory, I will be using it everyday. I am better off for having crossed this milestone in my life. I have knowledge now in areas that I never would have ventured into had it not been for my time spent at LSU. Here are a few snapshots from this glorious day in my life.

I want to show it off!!

The End Is Here

It's almost official. About two hours ago I took my last college final(at least till I decide to go back). I feel like I have been in school forever and now I'm finally done!!I can't express my excitement enough, so now it's on to the "real world" as everyone calls it, work everyday and no more school. Yay I can't wait, know why? cause I love my job! In case you don't know I'm a dental assistant to a great dentist and I love it, it's very close to a Dental Hygienist with a few differences.Maybe after a few years of no school I can go back to school to become a Dental Hygienist, but for now I am content with where God has me. I am so thankful that he has brought me through these college years, I don't think I could have done it without Him and of course the support of my parents and wonderful husband(can't forget him). So my graduation is in 9 days, the countdown is on!

Starting this thing!

Barton has been suggesting to me for a long time to start a blog, I finally broke down and took his advice. So I am officially going to begin recording my life to share my thoughts, dreams, and ideas with the people that choose to read them. i'll soon be writing more so stay tuned!
