The past few weeks I have been having flashbacks of school moments that stick out in my mind. Mainly these flashbacks consisted of studying with the thought that this may be the test that would do me in, or dragging my booty to class even though I really didn't want to go, and I also thought of all of the times my friends would invite me to spend time with them and I had to decline because there was always a test to take or homework to do. And while these seems like not so fond memories, in their own way, they are because they remind me that I got through it. I did it.
So on Friday as I got dressed (in the cute little dress that you guys picked for me) I was in disbelief that all of that exhausting studying, class going, homework doing was over. It was a huge feeling of accomplishment, pride and an overwhelming thrill of the unknown that lay ahead of me.
Sitting at the banquet with my dearest friends and family I could literally feel my heart swell, which I'm guessing is similar to what the Grinch felt like on Christmas. Here I was sharing in a moment that meant so much to me with the people that, each in their own way, held my hand on this crazy journey. Gah I felt the love.
Before I knew it I took my place in line and then I walked across the stage. And where I was nervous and shaky during my undergrad graduation, I was confident happy and ready this time. You guys I strutted across that stage. And my friends and family cheered their brains out. It was damn awesome!
Graduations are so awesome, I should do it more often ;)

For some reason I originally thought your dress was just black and white -- my work computer must be crazy. The fact that it's also has the blue detail makes it even cuter! You look so pretty!!
Oooh and those shoes are so sexy! Good finds!
