Could it really be here already?


Today was my last Welcome Breakfast. I can't believe it! All the spouses go around the table and introduce themselves and say what semester they are, and today I FINALLY got to say "5th semester." I can't believe it was finally my turn to say it! Such a long time coming. This welcome breakfast brought a huge batch of new spouses, the group literally doubled in size! This incoming class was over 180 students....Dave's class was around 80. So whoppppeeeee, wow this is really starting to feel real now, but everytime I begin to feel excited to leave a little piece of me is sad too. I have met so many great friends here and I'm going to miss them so much. But hopefully sometime, somewhere we'll meet again!
Here are a couple of my gal pals, Hanna and Stephanie.




Natalie and I started this journey together in December 2006...we have both been on the 6th semester plan and I'm glad we are still here together!
Here I am with Kathy, she is a new spouse that I helped sponsor. We have become good friends and I'm glad we were able to be here together for a semester.
