Graduation!

Graduation was amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was so emotional and grinning ear-to-ear the entire time! We rented a house outside of Tallahassee and friends and family came over to celebrate. I can't believe that I am finally finished and am so grateful for the love and support of family and friends along this amazing journey! Getting a PhD is such a wonderful accomplishment and I am proud of myself. There were times along the way that I wasn't sure I would ever get here but here I am! I am going to post a video of me getting hooded, pictures of the day, and a video of Addison and Brandy dancing.

I took this the night before graduation

Right before I walked across stage




Most of my classes were in the College of Education building  - Stone Building


My parents have been such a rock of support in my life!

I am so lucky to have such wonderful in-laws - always supportive and loving


Vanessa is not only a wonderful mentor and major professor but a wonderful friend! Thanks, V!

Future doc?
This is a video of me graduating - I narrowed it down to my hooding so it's just over 5 minutes. 


Here are some pictures from the graduation celebration. I wish I would have taken more pictures. I didn't pull out the camera until later in the evening.
