When December began I knew it was going to be a whirlwind of a month. I had accepted my new job, decided to move home for part of 2015, and knew I would be graduating.
To say December 1-13 was busy would be an understatement. Looking back, I have no idea how I survived. I had multiple presentations, papers (over 150+ pages), tests, and GRADUATION.
As more things were checked off of my to-do list, I started to realize that my time at Trinity was ending very soon. I have seen many friends graduate before me, but I still did not know what those "lasts" would feel like. I'll admit it, I teared up multiple times. This shows just how truly blessed I have been by the Trinity community.
Graduating truly was the icing on the cake. December graduates have the advantage-no need for tickets and that poinsettia tree in all of your photos! My entire immediate family came out for the event (including my 18 month old niece!) Along with them, my grandparents and some close friends came.
To say I was overwhelmed was an understatement. All of these people came. For me. The attention was fully on me and I felt flattered and incredibly happy. It was a true testament for my parents to be able to see all of the people who surrounded me with support and encouragement while at Trinity. 5 years ago when I was considering Trinity, I never could have imagined all of the support I would receive.
The rest of December included my last week of working at Gallagher (bittersweet), moving home, spending Christmas day with Mom and Dad, celebrating Christmas with my family, and a trip to Wisconsin to see college friends and meet new friends to ring in 2015.
