Numb is the only way I know to describe it.  Six years of college is over with as of 5 minutes ago. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…The entire experience has been a marathon with elements of a sprint thrown in. (Most of the sprinting happened during Fall 2002 & Fall 2004…)

I can now start living my life.  For the last six years, I’ve lived with a deadline over my head, always looking over my shoulder (and at the syllabus) to see what hurdle I had to jump next.  That’s over now! It’s a wild feeling for sure.  I would like to thank my family for helping me get through the whole lot of it. And, of course, I must thank Becca for helping through the final year.  By their help and dedication, I have finished my course. Thank you all and I love you!

Tuesday at 10:30 I started my last final of the semester…By 11, I was done with the final and I couldn’t be happier that my semester is finally over!!!!  It’s been a long, stressful year and I don’t think I could ever explain to anybody how hard it has been on me to be away from Travis so much.  I’ve missed him like crazy, and our time together has been far and few between.  While I’ve seen Travis ever weekend, I have hated that I was stuck here so much by school and work that I wasn’t able to spend a lot of special times with him.  Right now, even though I’ve been done with finals since Tuesday, I don’t get to come home for good until Sunday.  Yes, I know, it’s only 5 days, but Travis and I could have lots of wonderful moments together between Tuesday and Sunday.
Well, I hope to be seeing all of you in a few weeks at the most special day of my life-The day I become Mrs. Jerry Travis Smith!  Until then, I’m off to pack up for going home on Sunday and enjoying life with absolutely nothing to do!

Hey everybody!
I woke up this morning to Travis calling me, and my first thought was : It’s one month until the wedding!  In exactly one month, May 27th, I will be Mrs. Jerry "Travis" Smith, and I can not wait until the big day gets here! 

Everybody remember to RSVP to the wedding by May 10th if you plan on attending!  We look forward to seeing you there!!!
