Graduated and No More Tuition!

Who's that girl with the Masters degree? It's me, it's me!! Yup, finally no more tuition and giving my paychecks to UTA. Friday night I walked across that stage and got "hooded". I now have my Masters in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I don't know what I'm going to do now with all this free time in my evenings now. I'm sure I'll think of something ;)

Here are some pics from the night and my celebration graduation brunch with friends and family. What a special day!


Family

The sis and my scholarly self

Cousin, aunt, and uncle

Best cousin ever ...like a brother

Done and happy

They're so proud of me...

Teachers from school...my extended family :)

Friends and great support system

Daddy's little girl

Best momma ever!

Little sis, big sis
And that's how it's done! This morning I treated myself to a yummy bowl of oatmeal topped with chopped apple, butternut squash puree, chopped dry figs, chocolate chips, and Greek yogurt.


Lunch was equally delicious...guacamole, spinach, roast beef, fresh basil, and goat cheese.
My friend got me a gift certificate for a free massage at Massage Envy. I have an appointment soon to relieve this tension brought on by my 4.0 GPA baby! I'm sorry, I had to brag :) Have a wonderful Sunday!

BIG Spartan cheerleader hug (LOL, I got your reference) for my favorite Texan! 4.0, I'm so proud! I knew you could do it... as for all that free time, do I even need to tell you my suggestion? Something tells me you already know. ;-)

Side note: you've got some good-looking friends and family! Any of those guys single? Haha. ;-)
