Graduation!




















Yea!! I finally graduated with my Masters in Social Work. We went to Anchorage for my graduate hooding ceremony which is when I officially become a Masters level Social Worker. The Dean of the College of Health and Social Welfare places the hood over my shoulders. The hood has the colors of the University of Alaska, Anchorage as well as the colors of my college. It was a pretty awesome experience!

More photos from Anchorage!











We had brunch at a really nice restaurant in downtown Anchorage and we ate the Brewhouse...one of the best restaurants in Anchorage! We also saw a huge herd of caribou on our way back to Fairbanks

Charity Walk



My agency, Resource Center for Parents and Children, participated in a charity walk on Friday evening. The goal was to raise money for local charities and non-profits. We walked 2.5 miles and stopped along the way at booths from various organizations and restaurants in town who provided us with food. It was a fun time for a good cause!

Anchorage May 09





Here are a few shots from our recent trip to Anchorage for my graduation. We stopped on the way down and on the way back at Rose's Cafe in Healy for breakfast and dinner. It is super yummy! Check out the size of the pancake they give you!! We had a beautiful drive down and Denali was out the whole time. Molly had a great time as well and did very well on the drive down. As you can see, she cannot stay in the back; she always has to be a part of whatever is going on! Graduation pictures are to come!
