I will post graduation day pictures later this afternoon. Friday night we had some bad weather hit. Lightning stuck our house and fried our modems and computer. Chris is working on all this calls this morning to get us back up and running.

I'M DONE!!

After 9 semesters, which spanned over 10 years, after 45 classes, 130 credits: I have finally finished my bachelor's degree (with honors, I might add)! I took my last exam yesterday and my graduation is tomorrow.

So many ask: "What are you going to do now?"

I plan to write a book, actually two. I want to write a book on Cedie's life. Using the blog entries from her blog, I hope to put into words her life's story(complete with tons of pictures, of course, because she was so beautiful!). I hope it will be as inspirational as she was.

I also plan to write my own "creative non-fiction narrative" on my experience of motherhood. I began research for this project this past semester for an independent study. My main goal is to get this story published so that other mothers who find themselves facing such difficult obstacles can find some comfort in knowing they are not alone and they can make it through things with the help of God, family, and friends.

Besides writing books, I also plan to keep my job as Office Manager for Delta Surveillance and spend more time with my wonderful son and husband, who have been so amazingly supportive as I put myself through school.

We also plan to get more serious in our adoption search, now that I will have more time. We are praying on one possibility right now and we should know more about that towards the middle of this month and can proceed from there.

The graduation ceremony is tomorrow and Chris has said he will take picture, so look for that post Sunday or so.

Thank you all for your support.

Update

This is my last week of classes as an undergrad! Exam week is next week and one week from Saturday is my graduation!

Dylan's baseball game got rained out this past Saturday, so no new updates there.

Pirates Start the Season with a W!

Dylan's baseball team, the Pirates, had their opening game this morning and they won!

Pictures coming sonn!

Pictures from Mommy's Birthday

I had a nice birthday this year. Sunday night we ate at my parents house and they gave me some new clothes and a new camera! Today, After work, and then school, I went and got a pedicure. Later, Dylan and Chris took me to Bonefish! Chris gave me a satelite radio and Dylan gave me a jewelery box that he picked out. It is one of those boxes that has a ballerina inside that dances when you open it. So very cute!I have to spend the remainder of the night doing homework. Enjoy the pics!

Tigers are going to the Championship Game!

Tonight, Dylan, Chris, and I watched the Tigers win their Final Four match up against UCLA. The Tigers beat them by 15 points! After that game, North Carolina lost to Kansas so it looks like it will be Memphis against Kansas Monday night for the NCAA tournament!

Here's what MSN said about our Tigers:

Rose, Memphis race past UCLA in Final Four
As hard as it is to imagine, Memphis keeps getting better just when it matters the most. The Tigers claimed their piece of history Saturday, beating UCLA 78-63 in the NCAA men's semifinals to become at 38-1 the winningest team ever in a single season. Now they have a chance to do what the other 37-win teams - Duke, Illinois and UNLV - couldn't do: cap it off with a national championship. With Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts taking turns at basketball acrobatics, it's certainly imaginable.

Busy Week

It was another busy week. I was very busy with school and Chris and Dylan were busy with baseball. We were supposed to have our opening game this morning but it has rained too much in the last couple days and the field was too wet to play for the games to be played.

I have 3 more weeks of classes left and then exam week. Four weeks until I am a college graduate! I can hardly believe it!

In case I don't get to blog for a little while, here's what's on our plate for next week (so far):

Tomorrow, we will be going to Nana's for my birthday dinner. Wednesday, Chris and Dylan are taking me out for my actual birthday.

Dylan has baseball practice on Tuesday and Thursday and hopefully we will get to see his opening game next Saturday.
