more of my graduation....the juicy stuff :)

Well... I am finally a college graduate! I graduated with my Associates of Science in Speech Communications. With a lot of support, encouragement and prayers from my friends and family, I was able to complete it. I appreciated everyone who traveled or took time out of their busy schedules to come and celebrate with us!

Now I am working part time at A Woman's Friend Pregnancy Center and Medical Clinic as assistant to the Director of Development... which means I help plan all the events and fundraisers that raise the money for our treatment and care since we are a non-profit organization. We give free medical care, counesling, services, and products to pregnant women, as well as women and men who want an abortion or have had an abortion in the past. I absolutely love my job! It is such a postivive, encouraging environment...esp compared to retail and waitressing....

Patrick is still in school untill October 31 when he will begin the hospital stage of his education. He is also working full time as an EMT at Bi-County... so right now we are wanting to focus on his schooling and job. We are in the process of buying a house...so hopefully we will be in it by July! I will try to keep you all posted on it...hopefully have some pic up eventually! :)

Hopefully, now I will be able to keep this more up to date! :)
