Just wanted to share a few pics! I graduated from Arizona State this past week. My mom and one of my little sisters flew in from CT and we spent about a day and a half in AZ. I was originally supposed to do 2 ceremonies - the honors college one and the business school one. But....after the honors college one, I felt I was pretty graduated already, haha. The business school one was over 1500 students alone, and I really didn't want to sit through that, so we took off for CA the next day.

Before we left though, we had a nice spa morning! My little sis and I donated our hair to Locks of Love! There are before/after pics below. I was so scared, but I ended up loving it...it's so much easier to do than my long hair! Then we came back to CA (drove the rental car) and spent 2 days here on base and down in La Jolla. We took my mom to the park where we were married and the place we had dinner after, so it was really fun to show her around. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Here's me and my sister before graduation

Cap and gown time!

And a mandatory me & Patrick pic...I felt bad he couldn't make it to graduation, but I was glad he could at least make dinner with us.

Congratulations again on graduating!! I think your hair looks really cute, too. How does Patrick like it?

Congratulations on graduating!!!! That's such an accomplishment :) And I LOVE your new haircut! It looks great - and easier hair is always a good thing haha. Very neat that you and your sis cut and donated to locks of love together, too! 

Congrats on graduating, that's awesome!!! Love the hair, looks great...

Congratulations!! I love your hair, I think it looks great! Your head probably feels so light right now, I always feel that way when I get even a tiny bit of hair cut off, haha!

Congratulations Steph! I'm sure you are more than happy to be graduating. That is so awesome. And I am loving the haircut. I had no idea you were going to go so short, but it is ADORABLE! I keep saying that I want to get together soon, but time has been an issue. We WILL do it though, I promise!! Congrats again!

Congrats on graduating hun! and your hair looks GREAT! I absolutely love it!

Thanks, everyone!! My head does feel so light, and it was so weird the first time I washed it. We had to give 10 inches for Locks of Love, so that's the length it ended up. Samantha - Patrick loves it...he kept complaining that my long hair "suffocated him in his sleep". Not sure about that, but at least he thinks it's cute haha. And Marissa, I'll give you a call tomorrow and we can try to plan something!
