Midweek Musings

Well, a journey that began on October 5, 2015 is finally over. As of Monday I completed my last requirement for graduate school. Pending my final grade I will graduate on May 15, 2017! 

I said to Kyle that is honestly feels quite anticlimactic. I expected to have more of a sense of relief but I didn't. I think part of the reason is that I can't believe that I am actually finished haha. When I started school in 2013 to obtain my Bachelors, I had zero intentions of pursuing my Masters but I am so glad that I did. 

I am happy to be done so I can now focus on spending more time with E and Kyle (because lets me honest, school does cut into family time), enjoying trips to see family (which now includes a trip to Florida for Easter, yay!!!!), and prepping for the move. Speaking of the move, I had a new duty station sign made for our new home and I love how it turned out. A shop on Etsy called BeachBettyDesigns created it for me. I'm not creative at all so I'm happy to let others do the work. :)


I figured I would end this post with a few photos of E. She is almost 7 months old (this Saturday to be exact!!) and a total riot. She has discovered her voice and lets everyone know that she is in the room. 

She loves hanging out in her new playard, it is so nice to take it outside so she can enjoy the nice weather. Plus being able to get some yard work done in the meantime is awesome.


This is 100% her personality! She is so screamy but in the cutest possible way.


She loves food just like us and will happily smile with a face smeared with applesauce.


I am sure she won't be so happy today since she is getting the booster part of her flu shot. But then again she may surprise me.

Kyle actually has a long weekend coming (gasp I know!!!! lol) so we will actually get to spend time together as a family. Yay!!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

  14. Very excited for you that you've reached this milestone with school! Big congrats! I know the feeling of when something feels more anticlimactic than all-out celebratory... I kind of felt that way when we paid off each of our debts. BUT the relief and pride lasted for a while, and I'm sure you feel those things! Those pics of E are great!! She is beautiful!
