Well, I made it to graduation! I flew back to DC last week for testing and final pass-offs before making the big march on THE mall. Unfortunately Pete couldn't make the trip with me since he had FINALS WEEK this week (gross), but I was able to stay with my brother and his family in Maryland which always makes the trip much more fun. My degree is MSN with FNP from GWU (haha), and after almost 8 years of college I am ready to be done! At least for a few years before I go back for a DNP.........
Here are some photos of the festitivities:
This is the building where we had most of our summer classes:

This is the car that Peter bought me for my graduation gift!!! Awesome!
The gang (2 brothers + families) at Saturday's 'hooding' ceremony.
My brothers were so sweet and brought me roses at graduation:
Some of my friends waiting on the Mall to line up and march in. Yes, it was pouring rain.
We were getting bored during the speakers:
GWU is the only school in the country that can have their commencement on the National Mall, so it was pretty fun to be there. View from my seat waiting for everyone else to march in:
The Pencil from my seat if I turn around:
The masses of humanity:
It's official!
So my brother opted NOT to make his kids sit through another incredibly boring graduation ceremony, so they dropped me off and went to the Air and Space Museum instead, and I met up with them after graduation. Don't worry, I didn't wear my garb the WHOLE time we were there. :)
Me and Bro:
M and C wanted a "bro-sis" shot, too. So cute!
While in DC, I got to meet up with 2 of my friends that are now living in DC: Haley and Sherrie. We had fun trying to get photos of each other without asking for someone to take our picture.
I'm going for a new hairstyle now: long hair on the left side, short hair on the right. It's pretty cool and I've received a ton of compliments :) haha.
Now if only I could find a job.......
