Graduation Weekend


Yesterday I graduated from Concordia-St. Paul with my master's degree in classroom instruction. It was a very special moment for me. For the past two years I have been attending class at OHS every Wednesday evening from 4:30-7:30. I am currently in my last class and still have 6 more weeks to go. I will definitely enjoy the time away from the computer when this is all over. Oh, that and writing papers in APA format-ick! I have to say thank you to everyone for all the kind words and gestures! To start off the celebration weekend, my dad and Chris sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Thank you! Matt surprised me with a dress that I had tried on last weekend but didn't think I should buy. When I went to iron my gown on Friday night I found the dress hanging underneath it. It was a great surprise! Thank you! Matt's Aunt Sharon and Uncle Ed came over with a beautiful wine bottle with lights inside to match our kitchen. Thank you! Thank you to Matt, Stacey, and the boys, Nate and Diane, and Dave and Vickie for the cards and gifts. Thank you to my brother and sister, Lauryn and Soren for attending the ceremony. Thank you to Dave and Vickie for watching Kelsey on Wednesday evenings when Matt is coaching so I can attend class. I truly appreciate it! Thank you to Matt for putting up with all the weekends of homework. Only one more year until you are done with your program!
The ceremony went great. They pronounced my name correctly and I didn't trip on the stage. What more could I ask for?
