BACHELORS DEGREE BABY!

I am proud to say that I FINALLY GRADUATED!  That may sound funny, because I just turned 22 and I was only in college four years which is less than most college graduates, but I FREAKING DID IT WITH A BABY!  When I found out I was pregnant, I almost decided not to go back to school. I would have to take 18 credits a semester and do an internship during the summer...it just sounded like a lot of work. But, I always promised myself that I would graduate, so I did.  And I could not be happier that I did! 
(BUT thank goodness it is over!!!) Here are some pictures from the day that my hubs and I were able to receive our Bachelor Degrees (his in Biology and mine in Community Health)

 Favorite Professor Ever :) 

 My other mamma friend saved my life. 

 My best friend Ashley wanted to see me before graduation and was so sweet to hang around after one of her family members ceremonies.

 My sister came and brought her two cute kids. Paisley loved playing with baby Sutton :)

We are so dang proud of ourselves!!

 Mr. Craiger gettin his diploma!!

 My favorite picture from the day :) 

 Best families I could ever ask for.

It is because of both of our families that we were able to do it...

 (don't mind the hat hair!)

<3 I will always remember this day!

It's Up To Me

I came upon this quote towards the beginning of motherhood.  It had been a long, hard, and BAD week...but this really needed to be heard.

This is something that I really want to provide for my husband and children. Not only do I have complete control over this, but this is also something that I really want to master.
After all, I choose my attitude even when I can't control what happens.  If I can be the example of happiness, then my children will also learn this.
For pete sakes, life will just be easier if I can do this :)
Hopefully you all feel that you may not be perfect at this yet either...I for sure know that I can do better at this :)
Here is to trying harder and becoming HAPPIER :)

Babysit

Here are some fun pictures from my sister-in-law who babysits Paisley while I am at school. These kiddos crack me up :)
