So I was going to quit blogging....

...and then a few of the people who actually read my blog said I couldn't.

So I guess I'll keep going.

Even though my life isn't too exciting...

& I'm not sure that anyone (other than those mentioned above) actually read it.

But oh well. It's not like I've got anything better to do these days...

I GRADUATED.

Woah. It's done. All over.

I kind of am in shock even still.

It was a blast to have some of my family up here to celebrate it all though!

My mom came into town a few days before graduation

to help me get ready for Megan's Baby Shower

(post coming soon...)

She took Chase and I out to Cheesecake Factory one night

{sidenote: the Red Velvet Cheesecake is to die for... seriously my

favorite thing ever. You must try it sometime.}

And surprised me with a pretty pearl necklace as a graduation gift!

Right before we left for dinner I had just told Chase something

about how watches and pearls necklaces are traditional graduation gifts.

My mom overheard and thought Chase had ruined the surprise!

But all was well... I was just totally a few steps ahead of her.

And was very excited when I opened a box with the

"traditional graduation gift" that I had just been talking about.

Thanks to all for showing so much love!

And a special thanks to my momma for playing with me all week,

helping so much with the shower, and for the set of pearls that

will make me think of you whenever I wear them!

{Oh... and Ricky too ;) }
