Masters Capstone Defense!

I am nearing the end of my graduate program and Saturday marked another milestone! Friday afternoon we were off to Laramie Wyoming so I could defend my research, case study, and portfolio. It was a quick trip, very nerve wracking, and stressful! However, it was all worth it when my defense papers were signed by my committee (this means I passed and can graduate!!!!) and massive amounts of joy ensued!

We stopped in Rock Springs to say hello and stretch our legs on the 5 hour journey!

Entering the beautiful Laramie area!

We ate at lovejoy's a local Laramie hangout!

A woman a mission to finish grad school and not pee my pants from nerves. I do not get nervous very often, but this was scary!

While I was defending Tyler ventured the countryside looking for animals. On the trip we saw elk, deer, antelope, and a badger.

Yea! So happy that I passed!!!!!! Let me sit on sign and get blown in the wonderful Wyoming wind!

I was jumping for joy, and Tyler even bought me this sweet UW t-shirt! Go Cowboys!

Once again we were back on the road. We were so glad to stop in Rock Springs again and see the Pollastros.

How delicious is the 5 month old Caleb Pollastro, I wanted to kidnap him!

Tyler sleep-driving on the way home! We were beat from our 800 mile in 2 days journey!
It was a weekend we will never forget!
