It's here...

So on Monday I went to check my mail and I got a wonderful surprise...I got a big envelope from school and it contained....



My degree!!! It was supposed to take 4-6 weeks from the time final grades were posted, so it was a big surprise. Kinda like an early bday present.

Yesterday was my 26th birthday and even though I had to work it was a pretty great day. My parents sent me flowers, I went to lunch with some friends from work and Tschandra made me dinner and her Mom, Step-dad, Brother & Sisters (in town from CA) and her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins came too and it was so much fun. Tschandra's son Riley even helped me blow out the candles. Not so sure I like the turning 26 part very much though...

Downtown Anchorage...

I went out the other night and took a few photos of downtown Anchorage...

The first is of the handing flower baskets...I have to say this is one of my favorite things about summer up here...the streets are lined with potted flowers and baskets.
The second photo is just an Alaskan totem pole in front of the Once in A Blue Moose Gift Shop...
The 3rd photo is of a historic landmark...the 4th Avenue Theater. It was one of the few buildings downtown to survive the Good Friday Earthquake which registered a 8.4 on the Richter Scale (The most powerful earthquake recorded in North American history).

Alaskan Summer Photos...

Father's Day Drive to Palmer...

On Father's Day Tschandra & I drove out to her family's house out in Palmer while her son spent the day with his dad. On the way we stopped at the Knik River Bridge...one of our favorite picture taking spots.

Finally!!

In about 2 months and 10 days I will officially be a college graduate. I am finishing my final Psych class right now and have already finished my other classes from this quarter. I am taking 1 class over the summer and as of July 26th i'll be a college graduate. Then it's onto grad school. I'm planning on attending school up here at the Univerity of Anchorage.

Other than that...it's beautiful up here, everything is green and blooming and the mountains are still snow capped. I love it!
