Graduation Weekend


Sorry for the lack of posts these past couple days, I graduated on Sunday and had lots of family and friends in town to help celebrate! It was the most emotional, exciting, exhausting weekend of my life and I cannot believe I am an official Auburn graduate! I had the absolute best college experience and made so many friends that I love so much! All day Monday my mom, my mom's boyfriend and I drove back to Fairfax Virginia and now Im just trying to get settled in! Up next is looking for a job and then hopefully moving into an apartment in DC with some girlfriends! I will keep you updated! Here are some pictures from the weekend!


My three other friends Taylor, Kerry, and Alyssa (Im the one on the far right thats about a foot taller than everyone else haha) that also graduated this May in front of the Auburn sign with Samford in the background!


Samford is the prettiest building in Auburn! 


My mom and me! For anyone who was curious which dress I ended up picking, well I ordered a dress and it ended up being WAY too short (Im 5ft 9inches so that tends to happen) and did not have time to order a different dress so I wore this J Crew dress that I got last summer and I actually thought it was perfect for the occasion! 


The morning of graduation, I hosted a little breakfast at my apartment! Most of the food we bought so we didn't have to do so much work the morning of except this homemade sausage, cheese, and pepper frittata, french toast casserole, and spinach, parmesan, and tomato frittata! Everybody LOVED it! Seriously, not to toot my own horn or anything, but people could not stop asking for the recipe and saying how much they loved it! Both were embarrassingly easy to make too! Ill do a post on the recipes one day this week!


My mom and me setting up before guests arrived! I learned everything I know about throwing a good party from my mom and was excited to show off my skills! The menu consisted of bellinis, mimosas, fruit, ham, turkey, tortellini pasta salad, french toast casserole, two types of frittatas, and croissants! 


My mom, me, and Marshall chowing down!


This is kind of an awkward photo but it gives you a little glimpse of what my living room looked like. Im going to miss my little one bedroom!!


Me, Marshall, and Reggae outside my apartment complex right before graduation!
