The Day I have been waiting for, for as long as I can remember, finally came and went!! No I am not talking about my wedding day, but that already did too!! On May 8th, 2009 I GRADUATED!! I graduated from the University of Utah with my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Special Education!! I absolutely love my major and can not wait to start my career!! There are a few people I would like to thank for helping me get through all this!! First I want to thank my mom and dad, without them I might have given up! I love them!!
I would also like to thank Jen Macfarlane!! I was her student teacher, and she has taught me so much. Without her help I don't think I would have found my passion!! I aspire to be a great educator like her!! Thanks Jen!! I would also like to thank Danielle!! She knows the reason why, but without her help 25 credits and student teaching in two placements our last semester of college, would have broke me!! Who else is crazy enough to try totackle that task with me??!! I also want to send a shout out to Erin!! She is so great, and has become a great friend!! She helped me through the last couple of semesters. She was pregnant for most of our last semester, then had a darling little guy!! I owe a lot to her!! I know that I have gained life long friends with these three amazing women!!I would like to thank my best friend Jessica!! She is the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for!! She understands me when I don't understand me!! She is the best!! She was able to come to my graduation which was the best gift ever!! Jess I love you!! Jess is graduating from the U this December with two degrees. She will have a degree in sociology and social work. She is such a great example of hard work and dedication, my venting buddy, and truly the sister I never had!! I love ya Jess!! (and our husbands are better friends than we are)
Lastly, I would like to thank Russ!! Without him I would be lost. He is my soul mate!! He has done so much to support me through school, it was a huge sacrifice for him, but I love him for it. He is the best husband!! I can't imagine my life without him. He is so loving, patient, and helps me be a better version of myself everyday!! He has put up with a lot during these last two semesters, he pretty much didn't have a wife!! I love you baby!! You are my whole world!! Thanks for the best two years, can't wait for the rest of our lives!!
My mom, me, and my wonderful grandma!!
My Family!! My brothers totally look like dorks, but loved that they were all able to come!! My in laws also were able to come!! I am so grateful for all these wonderful people in my life!! Now I just need to find a JOB!! WISH ME LUCK!!!
