Schools out for winter!!

So, my second semester of Grad school is finally over! I turned in my final papers today at 4:30 which means I have the following 5 weeks off from school!!! Yeah!! I couldn't need it more! Ever since mid terms in October, school has been crazy busy! We just did our portfolios last week which were really fun. However, the day we presented them was the day we got dumped with snow, so unfortunately we didn't have that great of a turn out. Oh, well! At least we were there to support each other, and by that I mean the whole up coming graduating MSW class. Even my mom showed up which was pretty cool!



Here's my portfolio...I did it on Family Advocacy...my theme was magic...it was all smoke and mirrors! LOL



Here is one of my bestest friends Amanda at the portfolio...I can't tell if she's workin' hard or hardly workin'

Riley has been really busy as well. Her daycare put on a Christmas Program which was really fun. Plus we saw the annual downtown Christmas tree lighting as well as putting up our own Christmas tree - boy that was a treat! It couldn't have been a more perfect night. We got a light dusting of snow the whole night while we decorated.We really lucked out. It turned out really cute, although only 2 days later it fell over. Luckily some really great friends of mine live really close so they came over to help put it back up. So far it hasn't fallen over again (knock on wood).



Here's Riley adding the tree topper...reeaaccchhh!



Here she is hanging some ornaments...she was so into this!



Here's the daycare's Christmas program...it was so stinkin' cute!!! Who doesn't love kids singing Christmas songs?? Riley is the one on the far left in the blue and black dress on the end...



Here's Riley and one of her self proclaimed best friends from daycare - Vicotria...can't you see these two getting into trouble?? I'm surprised they haven't been seperated yet!


Although I am done with school for the next 5 weeks and Riley will be done on Friday things will still be busy...especially this up coming week before Christmas. I have to admit though, I am so anxious to graduate! In fact, I included my undergrad photos from May 2007 in this post. I can't wait to plan my graduation party for May and I can't wait to see everyone there! I hope many of you can make it. It's not every day you graduate from Grad school!



Here I am right after the School of Social Work Graduation Ceremony



Here I am out at lunch at Joe's Crab Shack...yummmmmy....


I hope everyone is doing well and I promise I will get Christmas cards sent out, although I can't guarantee when!
