GRADUATE SCHOOL!

aka My Life May Finally Go Places Someday

I had to stay up til MIDNIGHT...

Starting to feel sleepy

Countering dizziness with fishies

Going crazy!

almost there...

...waiting for the portal to open (sound like a second-rate science fiction book to anyone else?), but I am finally registered for my first semester of graduate school at American University. Bring on the foreign policy-BRING IT!

EASTER

Easter weekend was marvelous: full of birthday parties, bridal showers, Easter dinner with family (where I picked up some great recipes), and singing in The Garden, an allegorical oratorio, or musical tribute to Jesus Christ. It was a busy weekend, but a happy one! And a good reminder that my Heavenly Father loves me, individually, as much as he loves anyone else or all of mankind-and the same is true for you! I love the hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that all of our sins AND suffering can be fixed, made up for, through His atonement.

Making Easter Bunnies (so what if it looks like a dog):
strawberry cake, vanilla icing, coconut, & raspberries

Got Christmas presents from my Dad-just in time for Easter!!
That's how he rolls. Personally, I like spreading out the Christmas joy!
