Over the past three weeks, I have been on physical and mental overload! I'm just now feeling like I can relax enough to blog again, and assume a normal breathing pattern.
I know I've talked about how excited I was to be working on commencement at my university this spring, and while it was wonderful, it was also a WHOLE LOT OF WORK! More work, stress and pressure than I could have ever imagined!
Last weekend, the entire Registrar's Office, nearly 100 student marshals, along with tons of faculty and staff helped over 2,000 students walk across the stage to receive their diplomas! What an amazing feeling!
What a great feeling it was to see 400 students file out of the arena as the 6th ceremony ended! Talk about a marathon weekend!
Here are just a few of my favorite commencement moments:
Receiving a little bribe gift from the College of Business!
Getting the stage ready for our first ceremony of the weekend!
After the most beautiful entrance from the College of Health Sciences!
Seriously, it was gorgeous!

My view during the final ceremony on Sunday evening!
So many people!
My first commencement weekend was a test of my mental and physical strength, as well as my sanity. That's why this weekend, I'm back at home with my family, enjoying their company and some relaxation.
It feels so good to be home, and posting again on Sweet Like a Song!
