I'm a MASTER

Well, this weekend, I officially became Heather Caram, M.Ed. I really can't put into words how exciting this is. I'm finally getting to do what I love, with the support and love from my family and friends...who are AMAZING.

I got to see my mom, who I hadn't seen since the wedding. We had a great time together and I realized that as I get older, the more I understand her, all she went through for me and my sister, and just how truly lucky I am to have the most fabulous mother in the world.

I did manage to fall during the big ceremony on Friday night...of course. It never fails. My ankle is a little blue but i think my ego was more bruised than anything else.

We also talked about the importance of health while she was here. She's basically gone vegetarian and with my UCD, I have to really start taking better care of myself too. She says I should stick to 1400 calories a day.  I've seen what the steroids have done to my upper body. I look like the stay-puff marshmallow man. It's pretty bad. So I HAVE to lose this weight. I couldn't most of my pictures from graduation, but I'll post one anyway....

I also was fortunate enough to have my husband, dad, mother-in-law, brooke, megan, and kerrie come to my hooding ceremony on Saturday. It was nice to have a little cheering section. Like I've said before, I'm blessed with amazing family and friends.

Now, I'm gearing for my birthday week!! I think I'll celebrate on my birthday by heading to the Norman Farmer's Market. Gotta get those fresh fruits and veggies.... ;)
