The End Meets The Beginning

Yesterday I graduated college. The "for real" graduation. I've been finished since December (hence my '10 tassel) but seeing as our college is so tiny, I had to wait to walk until May. Yesterday was also my mom's birthday! I've always felt like your only child graduating college is a pretty good present, right? It was a special day indeed. Friends and family were there and I was tickled pink. I was in love with my graduation dress (which cost me a whopping $19!) and my gorgeous new shoes thanks to Blowfish. My family surprised me with a gorgeous green sapphire necklace and my beautiful friends, Elle and Bryan, brought me equally beautiful flowers! Afterwards we met Elle & Bry at Sweet CeCe's for frozen yogurt before we departed for my hometown. 

The rest of the day was filled with family, a big meal, and an early, early bedtime. It was refreshing to not have to work for the whole weekend! Today Mike and I are spending the day together. Cutesy couple things! I'll be back tomorrow to reflect on a few other things and maybe share my graduation outfit (above). Don't judge me... but I'm wearing it today, too! (Flats though!) Happy Sunday, honeybees! xo

Back to School

i found this backpack yesterday on another blog and i had to share. i think that it is the most perfect and cutest backpack that i have ever seen in my entire life. there was a link that just directed me to a site that did not actually sell the backpack - which makes me really sad. so. what i have decided to do is attempt to find a similar bag and just add the lace.

i am in need of a school bag because i'm going to be starting school this fall. i took a long break after high school which was much needed but it's definitely time to get started again. soooooo wish me luck with my search!
