Hooded and Educated

The time has finally arrived.... I have officially received my Master's of Science in Applied Criminology!!!!!! This day and weekend was by far the happiest moment in my life so far. I could not have made it this far and where I am today without my Lord and Savior, my supportive family, and my amazing friends and graduate school program. To all of the people who dealt with my complaining, my bitching and whining over all the reading and 20 page papers I had, who saw me cry and stress to the max, who accompanied me to the library until 2 am, and who motivated me to get through the hard work.... a huge THANK YOU!!!! 

Just passed my internship defense!

One of my best friends I met at NAU... received his MBA!

Pre-graduation celebration with the brother

3 generations <3

After graduation I was finally able to breathe... although it still has not hit me yet! I have been able to spend time with my close friends and relax... This means lots of pool time and soaking up the sun, reading for fun, and beautiful runs outside......

...AND FINALLY VISITING THE GRAND CANYON

Spending the day with no plans, 80 degree weather, and with two of my great friends was such a blessing! Who knew just gazing at rocks and a huge hole in the ground could be so relaxing? I was also lucky enough to have my amazing family and grandparents here for Mother's Day.
