Hello everyone! It’s
been a while since I did an update on my life and it is much needed. A lot has changed for me in the month of June
and July, all for the good. I am
currently relaxing in premium economy on a flight to the UK. Yes you read that right Premium economy… life
is good! :)
Lets go way way way back to May, which seems so far away
right now. Mother’s day weekend, I
walked in SNHU’s graduation for my Masters even thought I hadn’t officially
ended yet. My Mom, Dad, Brother, Great
Grandma, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, Uncle’s Fiancé, Jeremy (my boss), Liz (boss’s
wife), and Catherine (boss’s newborn) where all in attendance and I couldn’t
have asked for a louder wonderful supportive group to attend my graduation from
grad school. My family is loud, now I
mean loud and I love them for it, but it can be embarrassing at times! And of course my family couldn’t hold back on
sharing many Rachel stores to my boss and his wife. I also understand why my family is loud; they
love me and are very proud of me, as I am the first in the family to get a
Masters! Which I know is a huge
accomplishment as I am also proud of myself!
After a very long normal graduation ceremony, we had a great
celebration dinner at Firefly. This
included everyone at graduation as well as my SNHU work family and their
families and the roommate! Everyone at
dinner was who has supported me through everything and I was very happy that
all the people most important in my life were there. I may not sometimes be the best at saying
thanks, but I honestly am so thankful for the supportive family and friends that
I have in my life. As I honestly don’t
know what I would have done without them all!
I also just want to add, growing up I always hoped my great grandma
would be to watch all my graduations in life and I can say that she has! Now she may have not exactly seen me walk
across the stage, but she was there!
Next on the list is to see me get married, she is 92 and doing well, so
we shall see!
As much as I love my family, spending a weekend with them
can sometimes be a little much (love you all :)). If I heard one more time do you have a
boyfriend or what about that guy, want me to get his number, I was going to
flip. Luckily I had the support of my
brother (surprisingly) who just kept telling me to ignore them. I say surprisingly as he is the protective
brother type (which not going to lie I do secretly love), but since college has
been very respectful of my life and guys (which took me a lot by surprise as it
was the total opposite of what high school was). Honestly life has been crazy being a grad student
and working two part jobs times that equal a full time job. I have just a small amount of time to focus
on me let alone to worry about having a boyfriend. I understand I am currently the oldest in the
family that is single, but come on I am only 23 and have a full life ahead of
me! My time will come.. after grad school! :)
So after graduation, not much more happened in the month of
May besides classes and the craziness of my jobs! The month did fly by though as June was
coming up which was going to be the craziest month of my life. … to be continued!
Love always, aloterella :)
