Graduation x 2

I was lucky enough to fly out to Cali in May and go to my cousin's graduation from college. Becky graduated from Cal State Fullerton and since Richie knows how much I love her, he flew me out without the kids for a few days. It was so fun and relaxing and I miss her already!

Me and my cuz

Then a few days after I got back I finally graduated with my Associate's degree! I know to some this might not be too big of a deal...but I have been going to school off and on for 10 years...and it was about time I had something to show for it! Richie and the kids and some of my family were there to support me and I am so grateful for that. I have to admit that I miss school already though, and I'm starting to make plans to attend a 4 year school in 2011. Hopefully it doesnt take me another 10 years to get my Bachelor's though :)

I'm so grateful for Richie and for supporting me this whole time. He would rush home early when I had night class and play Mr. Mom. He also helped with so much school work, especially when I first started school again and my brain wasn't used to functioning that way :) I love you baby!

And these 2 little kids are the reason this took so long!!! Before I started school again last fall, I hadn't sat in a class since I was pregnant with Isaac (I actually remember taking finals 2 weeks before I gave birth to him!) I wouldn't change a thing though!

My mom is the absolute best! I would never have attempted this if she didn't live so close and watch the kids for me time and time again! Thanks mom! And my dad is the best too :)
