FINALLY GRADUATED!!!!!

On Thursday, I graduated from cosmetology school - I now have my 1600 hours required by the state of Michigan, received my diploma and now it's time to go take state board exams to get my license. I'm THRILLED to be done! On graduation day, Mark, my parents, grandparents, uncle, and lots of friends were with me to celebrate when I punched out for my last time and about 15 of us went to Olive Garden for lunch. Now I'm taking some time off with Mark until he starts school in the fall; we figure the next time we'll have time like this is when there's kids so we might as well enjoy it while we've got it. So, we've got about a month right now to play and a vacation to Myrtle Beach for our anniversary and then back to the real world!!

Me and my hubby!

Great friends

Our tracking sheets - this is my last one that shows 1600 HOURS!!

Funny gifts from the dollar store from some friends :)

A plaque from my parents that says my graduation date, etc. This will go in my salon in the basement; thanks mom and dad!!

Right after my final punch out - FINALLY DONE!!!
