THE MAIL!

Have I mentioned how much I love the mail? For some reason I just love checking the mail. It is even better when I actually get something in the mail. I love getting letters and post cards. In fact I collect post cards. Whenever a friend goes some where I ask them to bring me a postcard back or mail me one. I have a huge pile of them sitting in a drawer. Anyway, back to while I particularly love the mail this past weekend.
I got my diploma! It's official I am a graduate! I would take a picture with me holding it, but I am kind of horrible at taking pictures of myself. When I got the envelope I danced around my apartment because I was so excited. Orion had to answer the door because I had just gotten out of the shower. As soon as he shut the front door I snatched the envelope out of his hands and screamed. Four plus years, thousands of dollars, countless hours, too many tests to think about, strained eyes from looking at a computer screen for too long, and way too much spent of text books had finally paid off! The most expensive piece of paper I will ever own is now in my possession!

All I have to do now is buy a frame for it so I can keep it protected forever. So maybe I am over protective of my diploma, but it took me my entire life to get it! College was no easy walk in the park. Who knows maybe one day I will have a Masters to go along with my Bachelors of Science. We will see. Until then I am currently working on the best project ever, our first child.

  2. I am feeling good! My back hurts sometimes but that is about it. I am making a scrapbook with the pictures and ultrasounds in it. I still can't believe that we are going to be moms! How are YOU feeling?
