She Did It!

After 2 1/2 years of hard work, Lizzie graduated from Roosevelt University with an MBA on Friday, May 14th. Mom, Dad, McKenna & I were there to witness our little Lizzie walk across the Auditorium Theatre stage with pride.

Way to go Beanie! We are soooo proud of you!

McKenna is so proud of her Aunt Beanie!
She was just alittle tired!

After the graduation ceremony, we met Kristen, Brian, Aunt Lynn, & Uncle Rick at Carmine's for a delicious italian dinner.

Momma is back in the saddle! My first extra dirty martini with bleu cheese olives! Oh so delish!
