7 months

7 Months since Graduation

7 months since having to figure out how to wear this awkward "masters hood" thing around my neck....

 It's harder than it looks. You find yourself thinking, it must be on wrong because it can't possibly be designed to look this stupid..... And then you arrive and realize everyone else looks just as silly. Maybe it's another "rite of passage". You know.... Like an initiation thing. You kill yourself for two years juggling clinicals, work, and classes.....after 4 years of undergrad (5 for me), and 13 years of schooling from kindergarten through highschool..... and THEN they say, Okay, but if you REALLY want to graduate, you have to walk across the stage in front of hundreds of people wearing these silly outfits and THEN you can graduate ;). 

7 Months since moving to Phoenix.... the Valley of the Sun

And 2 years and ALMOST 7 months since I married the man of my dreams.
I love you sweetheart.
