Ok, so I haven't posted in a very, very long time. Life just took over I guess. But I'm hoping to post a lot more often now. And boy do I have a lot of report since my last post! Where to start...



In May I finally graduated from college with a BA in art from the University of MN! It was a very exciting time for me. It is something I had been working towards for a long time, with several breaks for health reasons, etc... But I went back to school in January, 2005. All I had left were 3 French classes and a senior art project. So I did my work and finished in May! I went through commencement on May 14 and I was very glad I did decide to participate in that. It gave me great closure. My Dad, both Grandmas and my boyfriend all attended. My Mother was sick that week and was unable to attend unfortunately. After graduation my boyfriend and I went out to dinner to celebrate. He took me to Maggiano's and we had a wonderful, romantic dinner.

June was a very hard month. My Grandpa had a stroke and died a few days later. He was 93 years old. It was very hard for the whole family. He had been in good health for the most part and lived a very full life. He was gone so quickly. Grandma is still having a hard time. They were married for 65 years and she misses him so much.

I have more to write but I will save that for next time.
