Graduation is acoming!

I can't believe I am 2 weeks away from graduation. I am so stoked. My family is coming down to see me, and I can't wait. I have the cap and gown, my technical honor society tassel and the tickets. Today, I even altered a silk BR dress I found in a thrift store for $3.93 for the event!

Back to important catch-up items. First fashion show at school, a success! I loved being onstage with my hubby. He is such a great sport and an even better hubby. Okay, I went to Skills and won silver. You probably saw that post with me sitting in the audience with my medal. I'm such a dork. Then, we had our Fashion Square mall fashion show. Oh, it was absolutely the most exhilarating thing I have done in years. I felt so creative in getting my garments completed. I mean, I just felt like a million bucks. Look at the footage here, thanks to my girlfriend Julie. (FYI, she has the cutest and most well-behaved baby ever. I pray when we have a little nugget, he is that awesome!)

We had students from Westside Tech come and do our hair and make-up. They were wonderful.

At Fashion Square, we got to set up Designer rooms. Here is my room!

That was cool to have my own area. The whole fashion show experience was a ton of work, but totally worth it. I am just so proud of myself. I haven't been able to say that for years.

Next was my big induction into the Technical Honor Society. WHEWWWWHOOOOO!

My parents would be so proud!

Then, it culminated with my BIG 35th BIRTHDAY!

My girlfriend Toye let me borrow her birthday hat. I felt so cool wearing that all day at school and then at work. Life is truly blessing me right now.

This past year has truly changed my life for the better. You know you think your life is headed one way, and then you go the complete opposite way. I am so glad I went down the road less traveled. It is going to add years to my life and happiness.
