I am a Master now!

Well, this last semester has been crazy! I came back from DC with an opportunity to finish up my Masters. I loved my time in DC but I always knew I would come back and finish. The timing worked out for me to go and so I did it! This last week I graduated with a Masters in Public Administration: Emphasis in Strategic Management and Finance. This semester it was good to reunite with some of my Master Program friends, but also to tie up a couple of loose ends. I enjoyed the semester-but it was really busy. I had school (22.5 credits), Volunteering with the Church project, working at a Rehab clinic in Orem, and dating. It seemed to pass by like a blink of an eye, but I am grateful that I did it. Needless to say my blogging fell by the wayside, but I have some fun things planned for the summer. Here are some picture of graduation.

 My parents were able to come up to celebrate. I am glad that they were able to make it. Graduation is always a little and drawn out, but it made it fun to have all of my family there.

 Here are the two little ones...not so little anymore. Chad and Linds came as well. Big thank you to Chad for going early and saving seats for everyone.

 Here is the happy bunch (Minus Jared).

 Here is the Masters program graduating class. There are a lot of great people in this photo that are going to do a lot of great things in the world!

 This was my home for the last couple of years, I never actually slept here but I came close on a couple of occasions.

 I made a lot of great friends in the program. This is Matt Hartvigsen. We spent a lot of long nights together working on projects. It was always fun to have his little boy Max around for a distraction. I love this guy.

This is definitely not one of my most glamorous shots, but it shows how happy I was to be done and eating a  Cheesecake Factory Cherry Cheesecake.

Overall I am glad I did and I am glad that I am done. I am looking forward to moving past this part of my life and knowing that I accomplished what I set out to do!
