Graduation: It's About Stinkin' Time!

that's right, internet i dun gradumatated.
i'm officially an edjumucated broad.

my mom came out to idaho (for the first time) for the graduation. initially, we were a bit on the fence about her coming out because it would be expensive and i didn't want to make a fuss. as loud as i am, i still have trouble with people making a fuss over me, especially my mami (that's dominican for mommy). i digress.

she called one night and said in her sappiest voice "you're the only daughter i have; i'm not going to have anymore..." "because you're old and you don't have a uterus, huh?" i responded, the epitome of sensitivity. "don't help," she continued " "i want to be there and take pictures and get a video."

so we bought her plane ticket that night.

beth and i drove down to pick her up in slc. since it was her first time in slc, we decided to get over to temple square. the lady was not impressed. figures. we got back to idaho on saturday night. late. super late.

at church, everyone was so excited to meet my mom. so i paraded her around like the cutest prettiest show pony. and we invited people over to hangout with the roommates and my mom. that was super fun, but kinda awkward. there was some unitentioall "we're mormons in our twenties so what else are we going to do" type of flirting that happened right infront of my mom and some small children. awkward. fun, though.

monday i had my last tax final-FOUR HOURS!! ugh! accounting. and there was lots of packing and cleaning.
tuesday i had my religion final in class. mom came to that. it was great. i really loved that class for a lot of reasons. my teacher made me talk more to impress my mom. that was cool.

and then....
