Slightly Askew - Canon Rebel T3

My life has been so consumed with studying for my state licensing exam for the past several months, that this photo seems very fitting.  My life has seemed a little lopsided and slightly askew.  Today, I passed my exam, and I feel like a 50 pound weight has been lifted from my chest.  This is what I have been working towards for so long!  I have such a sense of accomplishment.  I am very proud of myself and where I am today.  I hope that my life can now start to get back on the tracks and that they can straighten back out.  I am so thankful that my husband and my family love me no matter how out of whack I can get! - Love G
