Hey Girl Hey

I'm done!

With my first semester that is...

Besides being in and out of the office for the rest of the week, 

I have successfully finished 1/4 of my graduate program, and it feels pretty good - 

if not kinda scary that I still have a year and a half of this hot mess schedule!

I cannot go another second gushing about my completed semester (fingers crossed for straight A's)

without honorable mention of my grad school bestie,

Tara. 

How would I have survived without her?

I asked myself this very question each day. 

Every class together was by far the most necessary scheduling decision I have ever made in my life. 

We worked together, studied together, commiserated with one another...

She gets it, I get it.. 

God sometimes puts people in your life for very specific reasons, 

and I know he put Tara in mine because he knew I needed it!

I needed an "every day" girlfriend, one who was easy and effortless. 

A friend that just "gets it". 

I am lucky to have a lot of amazing women in my life, 

and I am so blessed to add another to the list!

John and Ben better get used to each other... because this friendship between Tara and I?

It's not just a "two-year program".
