finally finals

over the next 2 weeks, i'll be closing a chapter of my life and opening a new one.

i have taken my sweet time in making big decisions and working toward my degree.

this has been a long (and hot) semester but finally i'm finishing my AS degree!

i am so excited to apply for my teaching program in the spring,

and feel doubly blessed that i have the opportunity to be a full-time mom at the same time.

these next few years will get really hard sometimes i'm sure,

but i don't doubt all of the sweat and tears will pay off in the end...

when i'm holding that degree in my hand, and our little girl with the other. :)

and now without further adieu… my 38 week preggo belly next to my tiny friend and her babe.

i'm so happy i got to see them while they visited and ask her a million birth questions!
