Visitors!

Daddy & Pam came out from Houston for my graduation & stayed with us.

They brought Pam's son, Jared who is now my step-brother. Crazy that I have step-silblings, huh? Still haven't met the other two!

We took them to Pismo Beach & got the best clam chowder in the world at Splash, of course!

Watched the lovely sunset from the pier...

And Ada stopped traffic all the way there and back. Look at her grip, it's like she's on a roller coaster!

The best picture ever taken by a stranger. I managed to get a sober guy who could hold the camera straight this time!

Grandpa & Ada...as she holds on for dear life!

We went to Sycamore Mineral Springs after this & relaxed in a hot tub. Ada loved it, the little water babe.

Thanks for coming you guys, glad we could show you around our beautiful area and spend time with you!

Graduation!

I did it!

I am a college graduate. I received my Bachelors in Liberal Studies, Multiple Subject Emphasis.

A fancy way of saying Elementary Education :)

Couldn't have done it without them...

I've joked about how it took me so long, quoted Tommy Boy,

"You know a lot of people go to college for 7 years."

"I know, they're called doctors."

But I finished. That's all that matters.

This baby girl will know her momma worked hard & got the job done!
