I'm a College Graduate!

And 8 and a half years later, I have a college degree. So what if it took me twice as long to finish my Bachelor's degree, I'm proud of myself for never quitting. I attended 4 different colleges, lived in 3 different states, had 2 babies, but finally have 1 degree. I got the official email the other day...

I am stoked! I've thought about pursuing a Master's degree, but I'm definitely taking some time off first. I think I deserve a little break. ;) I've started applying to a million places. I've loved my job at Starbucks, but it's been a part-time position to mainly act as a "mommy's day out" and a way for me to have extra spending money. I'm officially ready to enter the full-time working world again. So here's to me finding a job... Cheers!

UPDATE: After 3 different full time job offers and several other prospects... I declined them all because nothing felt right. Sure, the jump on the pay scale would be nice, but the long hours never settled with me. I'm a mom first before anything else. Some moms are not fortunate enough to have the option to work... some just HAVE to. I'm thankful that Alex works and makes the money so I'm not required to. I did a lot of thinking, praying, and weighing the options with each job offer, but it all came down to I want to be with my kids. I love being the one to drop off and pick up Adaleigh everyday from school. I love being home with Aubriella instead of throwing her into daycare. I love not having to stress out about who is going to watch them over summer break. So with that being said... I'll continue my part-time job at Starbucks, and my full-time job as mainly a stay-at-home mom to my girls. Who knows when I'll enter into the workforce again, but for now I will wait and enjoy my time with my girls while I can. :)
