MONSTER

I graduate this Saturday with my Master's Degree and while I know this is a big deal, that isn't at all what I'm happy about. What this Saturday marks for me is two years of being the happiest mom is the whole world. When I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree, my parents spent the entire day teasing me via text about what my "big present" was--could it be a trip to Hawaii or the puppy I'd been talking about non-stop for months?

As we all know, I found out I was getting my perfect, wonderful, adorable monster that day. I never thought I could love something so small as much as I do. She's the best cuddler, she loves to pretend she's about four times her size and she just can always put a smile on my face (ok, well, maybe not when I'm trying to give her a haircut, but that's a different story).

In short, no matter how big an accomplishment getting my M.A. may be, this graduation will pale in comparison to the day I found out I was going to get my little monster, Guinevere.
