Graduation

I applied for graduation this week. I am halfway done with the nine hours I am doing this semester and then I have six final hours in the Spring. Then I will have a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Human Resource Management and will be an alumni of the University of Central Oklahoma. The only problem with all of this? I don't know what I'm going to do next! Don't get me wrong, I am super excited. So, now what do I want to do? I know that I am going to stay at my current job through November 2013. I celebrate my 4-year anniversary next month and, at my job, you will be fully vested in the Teachers' Retirement System after five years. I figure that is a no brainer. So, then what? Do I stay working for the state? I'm the first to admit that the benefits are pretty great. Do I find a job in the private sector? The pay would probably be a little better. All I know is that I need to get some experience in my field. I still have some time to figure it all out. These are just the things I think about in my limited free time. I am just blessed to have such an awesome support system - my family, my friends and my church family.

Speaking of my church family, they are truly a blessing in my life. I am so happy to be a part of such a close-knit community of believers. St. Matthew UMC really feels like home. I love all of you so much! :-) I really enjoy when I get to spend time with my church family during worship, at church activities and when we have non-church things like fabulous Mary Kay parties. Thanks for always being there for me!

So, I guess this post is going to be short and sweet. I really thought I was going to have more to say about graduating. I think I am just so ready and yet still have a few more months to go. So, now I just want to thank everyone who has stood behind me during these last two years and tell you all how much I appreciate it!
