I DID IT (finally)

Well on August 15, 2009 I finally graduated with my Masters in Speech Langauge Pathology... :)
In the morning when I was getting ready I couldn't stop crying. I was scared for the rest of the day, but I was so happy, so blessed, so excited, the rest of the day was surreal! My graduation was at 9:30am, following the ceremony we had a lunch for my family (my immediate fam and my aunt/uncles/cousins). My sister Judit provided the food from Popeyes; we had chicken, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Delicious.
Then the party started around 8pm. My wonderful dad had a DJ from Eastland there. We had music, dinner of mexican style beef tacos, with rice and beans, of course beer and fronzen margaritas. Oh and I can't forget the tres leches cake!!
I kept thinking about 3 years earlier when I had moved to Nacogdoches. I didn't know anyone here, and I cried for about 3 weeks I was so miserable. Now 3 years later I was leaving this town and I was surrounded by so many people who love me! I felt so blessed. I can never thank my friends and family enought. I had a great day!!
