...I didit didit didit!

I graduated. Yipee! Which is actually kind of bittersweet because I loved the MPA program at BYU. A master's degree is kind of like going on a mission--very intense; therefore, you learn a lot and become very close to those you experience it with. I love my friends, professors, and administrators from the program.

And now it's time to celebrate! Family and friends were so kind to share graduation with me. I got gift cards, flowers, and other fun presents. It's great having a store that everyone knows I love: Anthropologie! So I think I'll get to spend a few fun hours there in the near future (sorting through the sale racks of course).

My friend Megan made this pin for me. It's a great piece to spruce up an outfit and make me look more grown up (which I'll have to be now that I'm applying for real jobs).
