Hey everyone!
I’ve had a lazy evening.
I decided to forgo exercising in exchange for watching a few episodes of Gossip Girl. Kimberly has been telling me for awhile that I will enjoy this show. I’m always looking for a good television series, so I was quite excited when the first DVD of the series hit the top of my Netflix queue.
Continuing with the lazy theme, I also decided to keep my dinner preparation simple.
Eggs with sautéed kale and onions.
Eggs, sweet potatoes, and veggie burgers are my “go to” easy dinners.
What are some of your easy meal ideas?
I’m certain this evening’s laziness has much to do with my crazy weekend.
I traveled to Charleston for a big event…
My graduation.
Yesterday, I walked across the stage and officially obtained my Specialist (masters + 30 hours) degree.
Guess who else was awarded with a masters degree?
Stephen! He received his MBA.
We were so lucky to celebrate each others’ accomplishments on the same day!
It was a day to celebrate!
I can’t believe graduate school is practically over! I still have 3 weeks left of my internship and a very long final paper to write, but the end is so near!
Real world, here I come! (Maybe I should not be excited so about this fact.)
Afterwards, both of our families went to dinner together.
After dinner I made the 3 hour drive home to the Upstate, so I could make it back in time to go to work today. I arrived home at 11 p.m., quickly unpacked, and then hit the sack.
I was so caught off guard by my alarm clock this morning. Oh boy, it was difficult to get myself out of bed!
Today been a long day, and I’m so ready to catch up on some sleep.
But first…..
Check out my graduation present!
Presented with some pretty ribbons.
I can’t wait to try out some new juice recipes! Let’s hope my new juicer makes future juicing more efficient than my last futile attempt!

Excited to see what you think of Breville’s juicer. I just invested in their Blender (the Vitamix will need to wait until I’m practising law at least!) and I’ve been really happy with the results!

Congratulations to both of you!!
Where in SC do you live? I am always confused. Sometimes I think you live in Charleston and sometimes I don’t!
I live in the upstate. Stephen lives in Charleston. I lived in Charleston for 3 years while in graduate school.
Congrats to you and Stephen! What an accomplishment. Can’t wait to see what juices you end up making, what a fun grad present.
Congrats to both of you! I’m sure it’s a HUGE relief to officially obtain that degree.
Wooo!! Congratsssss!!! I have to admit, Masters programmes scare me slightly, so I have major respect for those who get through one and live to tell the tale. And skipping the gym to watch Gossip Girl is SO necessary sometimes. I would know – I’ve done it several times
Can’t wait to see your juice concoctions!
CONGRATS!! what an accomplishment lily!! you look so happy and beautiful in your gown!!
a juicer!! cant wait to see what you whip up!
CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!! that is so exciting
Congrats Lily! Yay! Are you going to take some time off or are you going to start work shortly after your internship?
I guess that all depends on where I find a job!
Congrats, girlie!! Y’all make those caps and gowns look damn good!
