Graduation Day from USM

I went back to school when I ws 7 months pregnant with baby Gus and it was the best decision I ever made. 2 years later, I graduated from University of Santa Monica with a Masters in Spiritual Psychology. Through this program I discovered my desire to want to help working moms step more into a life of balance, fullfiment and joy. 

Graduation Day was incredibly special, with the commencement taking place at Royce Hall (UCLA). I loved celebrating with my parents, Aunt Nancy, BK, MK and the girls.

The boys didn't come to graduation, but they were excited in their own way to have me done with school!

This program required me to be away from my boys for 20 weekends, which meant John was a single parent for 20 weekends. I'm forever thankful for his support and encouragement along the way.

When I came home, I found this on the table. Levi had made me own DIY graduation hat!
