New York {Part One}: Monica's Graduation

Excuse me while I brag about my sister and I hope you like pictures. The main reason we headed out to NY was for her grad-school graduation. I've said it once and I'll say it again, she's my hero. She is amazing at what she does and excels at everything. Especially when it comes to education. I love that she has goals, and accomplishes them {she wanted to get her Master's degree from Columbia University and she did}. I love her passion for learning. I love that she is in constant effort to accomplish any task that is given to her. But mostly I love that she is my sister and will be forever.
Congratulations, Monica! We sure love you and are so proud of you!


^^ Her college ceremony was held at the BEAUTIFUL Cathedral of St John Divine



^^ You try jumping in a pencil skirt.
^^ Some of her friends from her program.

^^ Columbia University Commencement Ceremony. Probably the best ceremony I've ever been to. 

 
^^ This is was her building. Hogwarts, anyone??



^^ Because who wouldn't love a graduation picture in Times Square?

A glimpse of summer

Hello! I'm back. Literally. I traveled to NYC to visit my sister and brother in-law, and was there for 3.5 weeks. It was the best! You really only need about a week to see the "touristy" things so...you can now call me a New Yorker. Juuust kidding. But I really did get to experience the culture and get a feel for what it'd be like to live in the city. All I can say is, I'll see you again, NY. I'll post pictures of my trip soon. For now, here's a glimpse of my summer...
