A couple of photos, more to come!



This was taken in my office--they made a cute sign for me! This one was taken after a great Sabrina's breakfast.

More brunch w/ Jen, Colin, and Kyra.... And last but not least, me and Miss Nancy (in CDS).

Mission Accomplished

I'm finished. Phew! Graduation was last week and I was delighted to walk across the stage and be granted a M.Ed. The weekend was filled with celebration. My parents arrived on Wednesday night, graduation was on Thursday, Scott's birthday was on Friday, Scott threw me an incredible party on Saturday and the rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with Jen, Colin, Kyra, and Nica (who surprised me at the party!) and enjoying the incredible weather and a 20-4 Phillies win with friends! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

The generosity of my friends and family never ceases to amaze me. It felt so good to be able to celebrate with my incredible parents and friends. Those who don't live nearby sent lovely messages and cards and I felt completely blessed. One thing I' ve learned from this experience is that regardless of what you pursue in life, family and friends are crucial to helping you succeed. Thanks to all of you for making my life so complete.

Love,
Mary

P.S. More photos as soon as I get them!

I'm back!

I never thought this day would come, but my free time is finally here. I graduate next week with a master's degree in Counseling Psychology. My parents are coming up for the occasion and I can't wait to celebrate. It is hard to put into words what it means to successfully finish a three-year program while working full time, so I'll just say that I'm elated that I've done it.

I'm off to look for a cute graduation dress, and I'll be sure to post more pictures next week.
