The ever-living ghost of what once was...

Last Sunday, my best friend Alli and I decided to peruse the Fairfax Flea Market for some Christmas deals. So we got an early start, grabbed some Starbucks and headed on over the hill. It was a really really cold day. I completely underestimated how cold it would be. And while I thought I was dressed appropriately enough-I was still "brr-ing" like crazy.
For the most part, the trip was completely successful. We got a couple things for ourselves, of course, but I was also able to find something incredibly unique for my sister. At one of the tents, I got really taken by the 20s boudoir looking, handmade headbands. I promised the lady I would come back and buy it, but I never did. And I still kinda feel bad about it. I do want to come back, when I have a little more money and get the one pictured above. But all in all, it was a very cold but very good day!

So I'm an official college graduate. I can't quite believe it myself. It hasn't hit me yet, that I no longer have to go back to school-ever. It's a scary situation to be in considering how difficult it is to find a job. But I have a to-do lists, and I intend on accomplishing everything on that list. So it was a very emotional, exhausting, incredibly hot day. But it was also such a rewarding feeling, of finally having this degree, and I loved that everyone I love was there for me. The hubby played photographer for the day, and all the pictures turned out really well. I was quite pleased. After the ceremony, my best friend Kate and I decided to have our brunch together at Cafe Bizou, with our families. It was an amazing time, and I was incredibly happy. Now, on to the rest of my life...

p.s. the flower headbands Kate and I are wearing were handmade by me. If any interest is shown, I might open up an etsy account to try and sell them to people who might want one. So please let me know.
