To God be the Glory!

So, yes my Fine in '09 journey soon ended and I can say that I did eat healthy during the week for the most part for the last 4 weeks. I have gained some weight back but I really didn't loose much weight. I was more loosing fat and gaining muscle. I will begin my journey starting tomorrow again to make sure I look great for graduation next week!!! Yes, I said it graduation 10 days away May 15, 2009 at 6pm and on May 16, 2009 at 10am.
To God be the Glory! I guess I can say that I never saw this day coming until the second week of classes back in Auguest when I decided to proceed with graduation going against the will of the "then" department chair of Chemical Engineering. Well to say the least he stepped down from his position and I forged ahead with the goal of graduating from VCU. So, as of 11am today I was finished with my last final exam and I thank God for the grades that I receive on those two exams I did take. The first exam yesterday went well I actually think I got an A! Today's exam well lets just say I believe I passed enough to get a B out of that class. My mind was on getting out of that classroom and furniture shopping so I went blank on one question that was worth 20 points. I will be satisfied if I got at least 5 out of 20 on that part of the exam.
Anywho I am done!!! I feel overwhelmed with emotion, I feel like I can cry, dance, laugh out loud until my stomach hurts and I start crying, climb to the top of the mountain and parachute down, and even feel like I could jump out of an airplane. Crazy I know but now I guess it is dawning on me that I am not just about to be in the real world but that I am moving away. I have approximately 24 days left in VA and I have to make the most of it spending time with my family and friends. Well the festivites begin after Mother's Day weekend which I am going home to spend with my mother and to visit my grandmothers. My BFF is coming down from Delaward on the 14th and everyone else will be here on the 15th to celebrate with us so LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!
Each and every new milestone I make in life I can't think of how proud my father would be of me and what he would say to me and how he would look at me and feel when we hugged. This song by Chrisette Michele called "Your Joy" reminds me so much of how much a daddy's girl I was and still am. "No one loves me like you do, No one knows me just like you do, No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours, and you will always be my father and I will always be your joy" I love you daddy and I know your smiling down from heaven happy and praising God for this momumental moment in my life. You will always be my father and I will always be your JOY!!!


Walked down the sidewalk

Staring at your feet

Wishing my steps were longer

So by your sides I could keep



Hold your hand much bigger

Never wanted mine to grow

So I could always feel perfect

Inside your palms just so



No one loves me just like you do

No one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to way my eyes fit in yours

You'll always be my father

And I'll always be your joy



Laid me on your belly

Nights when mama wasn't home

Lightning made me shiver

And you never let me feel alone



I tried to match your breathing

Beating my little heart against yours

Perfect were the nights we were sleeping

I never want to end what we are



'Cause No one loves me just like you do

And no one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours

You'll always be my father

And I'll always be your joy



One day he'll come on bended knee

And ask my love away from thee

And when I give my love to him

You'll always have a place within

One day he'll come on bended knee

And ask my love away from thee

And when I give my love to him

You'll always have a place within



No one loves me just like you do

No one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours

You'll always be my father

And I'll always be your joy.
Keep the Faith!
Until next time,

~E
