Faithful friend and roomie, Rachel has been one of the biggest encouragers to me over the last couple years.

Best friend of 9 years, Olivia suprised me by showing up at my doorstep the day before I graduated. What a wonderful surprise!

Maggie, Mom's new Sheltie puppy. She was a little top-heavy with that huge melon on that itty bitty body! Very cute though.

Ok, so no picture today. No picture could possible express how badly I want to be done with school. You expect the last leg of your college experience to be the time when you are putting out your best work ever. But, I suppose for me I want to be done so badly that I can't seem to focus on projects anymore. I am tired of doing projects for fake people. I want to start being a real person with real clients and real projects. So, all that to say I am probably not going to get good grades this semester. Funny thing is, I don't really care all that much. My current focus is on spending time with people I love here in Abilene and making preparations to move back to Colorado where I belong, if I belong anywhere. I'm excited, a little nervous, a little sad to be leaving my friends, but overall I can't wait to see where God is going to lead me next. Thank you to all of you that have prayed on my behalf over the last 4 1/2 years. One week to go, then I never have to go back to school if I don't choose to. Yea!
