Ashley and I went to elementary school and 7th grade together before she moved across the country to Virginia. So we graduated 6th grade together and 9 years later we earned our masters degree together. Crazy!
Zaneta's been my buddy this year. She's actually taking my spot in my current apartment next week after I move all of my stuff to Dan's before the wedding. I'm really glad I get to be friends with her some more : )
Oh Columbia, filled to the max!
So for some reason, at Columbia only doctoral students receive hoods. All of us masters just have these long sleeves which are very convenient for holding treats and cameras, etc...
The momma!
The parents! Who loved me and supported me moving across the country once they realized that Columbia's a big deal : )
Heck yeah I just graduated!!!
Danny boy. He edited my Columbia application (which I know is the only reason why I got in!) and he's been there for me all year long as I've gone crazy with papers and homework and stressed about what a crappy brand new therapist I am. We've been able to share the experience of starting our careers and it's been hard but really nice to be able to go through it together. He's just fantastic! 
The grandparents (Poppa, Grandad and Marcie) are all here too, but I guess I didn't get any of the pictures with them on my camera! More will come I'm sure : ) I am surrounded by love!
Thanks family and friends for all of your love and support, and for making me feel like I could do this. It's been somewhat stressful, but now it's done and over with. I've got to really grow up! Wish me luck on becoming a real productive member of society! : )
