Graduates!

David and I both went to our Graduations from the University of Oregon this weekend. Mine was on Friday the 15th. I actually finished my degree in December but had to wait for Graduation now. I got my bachelors in Educational Studies (Elementary Ed.). It was fun, but didn't feel like graduation because I am starting Graduate school on the 25th of this month. I will be done with that next August (2008) and then I will finally be done with school forever! I am so happy that I have been able to accomplish my goals thus far. Only a little more to go! David's Graduation was on the 16th. He got his bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. He is so glad to be done and I am really proud of him! He is working for a company called Dealer Specialties and they are currently expanding his business in Eugene and the surrounding areas. That means he will only get busier!
It has been so nice to have the support of my parents. They made me a deal a few years ago that if I would go to school at the University of Oregon they would pay for my undergraduate degree. (They want me to live near them because I am their favorite child! No...they actually did the same for Chad) The deal also said that I had to pay for and finish my Masters degree or I had to pay them back. In Oregon you have to have a Masters degree to teach, so I am so glad they are pushing me to complete all the schooling I will need. I am so thankful for them and know I wouldn't be at the same point in my life without that needed financial support! I don't think we would have Connor with us without that help. I am so grateful for it! I love you mom and dad!

What a happy family we are! Life is great. We have so many blessings and no complaints!


Here we are again...Happy, Happy, Happy! We did it! ...Finally!
