Bitter...Sweet

As sit and wait for my gown to un-wrinkle I am reminded of all the memories that were captured over the past five years. I can't believe I am graduating in less than 14 hours from the University of Central Missouri. As I look back it really did fly by. That is what everyone said would happen but I never believed them until now.

This day is bittersweet in more ways than just one. First, I wish my biological parents could be here to engage in this chapter of my life closing and a new one beginning as I graduate. I hope that tomorrow is a joyful day for me and not one of sorrow because they are not here to celebrate with me.

Also, I will no longer be a part of the Christian Campus House as a student. The CCH has been the only consistent thing in my life over the past five years. I look back at everything I did with it from being a freshman group leader, an intern, an office assistant, the trips I went on and the overnights it had and I smile. I hope I made life-lasting friendships. CCH is why God brought me to CMSU. I have grown in ways that I could not have imagined. I will miss it more than anything.

As for the academics...I will not miss that at all.

What's next you may ask? Well, it is not Disney World. But, I do have a full-time job at Winco Fireworks as the Assistant Manager. I am pretty excited about this. The job fell right into my lap. It is building a new showroom and is needing someone to help run it. I will be hiring people, scheduling, doing web site stuff and much more. I will start receiving benefits immediately, which is something I was worried about. My schedule after the busy season will be pretty flexible. So if you need some fireworks I am the lady to talk too!!

Furthermore, Happy Birthday Scott Lee and Happy Cinco De Mayo!!
