I am a college graduate!

The past few days have flown by in a flurry of many cakes and pictures, but they've been pretty exciting! I was able to attend Keegan's aerospace engineering and physics graduations (my mom even went to his physics graduation) and he was able to see my BME graduation (his parents came to my graduation, too). It feels weird to actually have the paper that says I'm an engineer, the culmination of 4 years of work all condensed on to an 8.5" by 11" piece of paper....

Mother's Day was spent in High Point visiting my grandparents who were unable to come to my graduation. We went out to eat with them and my aunt, uncle, and cousins, so it was a pretty big crowd!

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, and it also feels weird to be 22 and a college graduate. No one really cares about being 22; after 21 I feel like there might not be any big birthdays left, except the ones where people start giving you black balloons as gag gifts :-P And 21 isn't that big of a deal for people who don't drink a lot. When I turn 25 I can rent a car- SWEET! That'll be what I look forward to now.

Today is my 2 year anniversary with Keegan, and I'm so excited! It's hard to believe that anyone could put up with me for that long; that's why I love him :-) He brought me gorgeous roses for my birthday yesterday also, so I'm definitely enjoying those. We're going to celebrate our anniversary in June once I return from my southwest trip; too many big meals crammed in to one week wasn't working for us. If we're going to eat somewhere nice, I'm going to eat as much of the food as possible to make it worth going out. I can never eat leftovers; I bring them home in the nice styrofoam trays, but they never get eaten. It's just not the same if you reheat the stuff, at least in my opinion. Especially french fries.

Today I'll continue waging the war against my bedroom and all the stuff I still have stored in the attic, but I've done some major clearing out, so at least I'm productive. Tonight I have orientation at Target so I can learn what all I'll be responsible for doing over the summer. Then I can start making the most of that discount!

Yay for summer!
:-D
