Graduation

Graduation was fun. I enjoy historic formalities like that. My husband and his parents were there to cheer me on. Dad wasn't able to come out because of the weather -- and it did snow all day yesterday -- and Mom accidentally scheduled a trip to the Bahamas to coincide with graduation, but they were there in spirit. :-)

My most prominent emotion yesterday was gratitude. I am immensely thankful for all the professors, friends, and family who have encouraged and supported me through this challenging endeavor. I hope all of you know just how much I treasure you because I don't think there is any way for me to adequately express it.

Now, I just wish someone had told me my mortar board wasn't level so I could have fixed it!
