Last Tuesday, July 7th, I found out that I do not have to take the two extra classes that I THOUGHT I needed to take. So that leaves me with what? Well that leaves me fully graduated with no further classes to take! WOO HOO!!! I am officially graduated with an MBA degree!
It took a while for it to fully set in. I found it difficult to wrap my brain around that concept. I had to tell myself over and over again that I don't have any homework to do, don't have to worry about reading assignments, or papers that are due any more.
Then it hit me! What am I going to do with all of that free time on my hands??? Free time...that was a tougher concept to wrap my brain around. I have more time to spend with my daughter and fiance...and I am loving it!!! It is very liberating to be able to release a chore and not do it again, like a heavy weight being lifted off your shoulders. That is exactly what I felt. I have to tell myself every once in a while that "I'm done with school." Sometimes I whisper it, but nonetheless I say it.
Either way, I am a graduate with an MBA. I think I have to have those initials after my name....i think. Anyone know if that is true? Post a comment and let me know.
So...tonight, after work, and after picking up my daughter at the Boys & Girls Club, we head to the valley for a book signing of one of her favorite authors.
(Whispers...I'm done with school.) :-D

Wow! Time flies!
I just realized that it has been a little over a month since my last post. I apologize. I didn't think it was that long.
What has happened since my last post? Well the biggest news was that I graduated with my MBA on the 13th of June. It was awesome and although I have two classes left, I am very happy to have been able to finally finish.
We were not able to have a party right after, but we had a picnic on the 27th of June. This was a party that killed two birds with one stone. We had the picnic to celebrate my daughter graduation from elementary school and me with my MBA, but we also had the families meet for the first time. Steve doesn't have that large of a family compared to mine. His mom, grandmother and cousin came. I had my three sisters, mom, dad and his wife come from my family. I had so much left over food because I was expecting my brother and his family, 6 kids and their spouses and kids, to come as well but they were not able to go. We all still had a great time!
The other big celebration was on the 4th of July. We were not only celebration our nation's independance, but Mr. Teddybear's grandmother turned 90 years old. It was awesome! Elena loves Mr. Teedybear and his family and his grandmother was very happy to have all of the family around. I do have to give props where it is due. Elena's dad actually was supposed to have her on 4th of July, but he graciously allowed her to be with me at Mr. Teddybear's Grandma's birthday party. I did thank him for that.
Well that think that is the update for the past month. Mr. Teddybear and I along with my Maid of Honor are going to a bridal expo this Sunday. It is supposed to be really big, over 400 vendors. Its at the Staple Center. My cell takes crappy pictures but I will see what I can do and post them.
Hope you all have a great day today!!!
