All pomp and circumstance :)

I finally finished my Bachelor's degree and here are a few pics from the occasion :) I must say that it was a lot of fun having my family in town and having so many friends to celebrate with me :) Unfortunately, I have only a few last minute pics from the party :( LOL....that was fun though girls, at its best!

I am starting my Master's program in January and am excited about it! I feel so blessed though in the meantime to have a job that I LOVE, seriously. Some people ask me if I'm joking when I say that, but I'm not, I really do love my job at ASU and feel so blessed. So many fellow advisors I talk to say that they worked very hard to earn their "dream" job, and many of them were in their forty's before attaining it...yet, the Lord has blessed me to have this opportunity before I even turn thirty! However, after I earn my Master's I will be applying for at least part-time faculty positions because my "dream" job is to help people stretch their minds to the limit with creativity! Some of you have read my pieces of creative writing and know exactly what I'm talking about, LOL Even though I've had to taste a few trees (literally) to get creative :) hehehe. I also love public speaking, especially storytelling, and hope to teach a few storytelling courses during my lifetime. The storytelling courses that I've taken were nothing but fun (albeit nerve wracking at first). I think America especially has lost the art of storytelling and I would love to play a small part in bringing it back to light.

Anyways, enough rambling, here are the pics:
