Graduation

Well folks! Waiting on the official paper (diploma) that says so... but the grades are in... all is grand!
So almost 10 years ago, I began my journey to get my college degree and with a few obstacles to overcome... it almost took me that long.

But today, I can say I have a bachelor's degree in Art (emphasis in Graphic Design) and a minor in Marketing.

Who knows what God has in store for me now, but as long as he is the pilot I will never be lead in the wrong direction.

Thanks for all the love and support! I wouldn't have been able to complete this journey without all my friends and family!

THANKS SOOOO MUCH! I LOVE YOU ALL!


Narnia

Sean and I went to see Narnia since it came out this weekend... I was so pumped that I ordered our tickets on line 4 days in advance so I wouldn't miss out... and it is a good thing I did, even though it had 8 show times in Oxford.. there was still a packed house..
What an awesome movie! I loved the older version from when I was younger, but this one was awesome. I highly recommend it... so go see it ... it is definitely worth $7 or $8 bucks.
The underlying Christian theme made it that much better... it is hard to find a movie like this these days...
Thanks to C.S. Lewis!!

IT IS A MUST SEE!!!


Race

On December 3, 2005, I ran my first race! I was so excited. It was a 5K (3.1 miles) for St. Jude Research Hospital. Not only was it for a great cause, I have found a new hobby. It was the most amazing feeling of accomplishment. I am so excited about running another one in the next month or so.
I finished 334 out of 808 overall and in my age group I finished 18 out of 54. I was so proud. I knew there was no way I would win. I just wanted to completed what I had trained so hard for.

The funniest thing about the race, was going into it they said that they were only giving medals to the first 1000 finishers. I started out really good and thought I am not too far behind... but when I was going uphill and the people in front of me where going downhill, I could see all the people in front of me. I got a little worried that I would not get a medal and would not be one of the top 1000...so I picked up the pace little bit... passing mile 2 in 20 minutes. I was proud... needless to say I got a medal... but here is the punch line there was only 808 people in the race (which I found out later)... so everyone got a medal. But I guess in the end everyone needs a little incentive.

I am training and looking forward to my next race..
