Graduation

4.5 years ago I started an MBA program and was thrilled to be back in the classroom. Today, I was so excited to walk across the stage and get my degree! It was a lot of late nights, class-filled weekends, and giving up social time to be in class and get my homework done. (Part-time grad school is no joke.)

Would I do it again? Yes.

But one thing I won’t miss? Eating dinner from the vending machine. #MBAlife

I’m so thankful for my family and friends who encouraged me along the way, and especially for my incredible husband who encouraged me and even picked up extra chores around the house (thanks, hubs). I’m not sure what’s next for me, but I know it will be awesome.
Congratulations to all of this year’s graduates!
