I did it! I finished all of the requirements needed to graduate with my Bachelors degree. I walked out of the college for the last time last Thursday and spent the rest of the day crying. Not exactly the way I thought I would react, but what can I say? Don't get me wrong...I'm super happy and relieved but achieving this particular goal really made me miss my dad. He was so proud of my decision to go back to school and I'd give anything to have him on the other end of the phone right now so I could tell him. I will walk in August and before you ask...there is no master's in the works at this point in my life. It's time for Mike and Brooke!Oh yea, and for ME. I've got some serious geneaology research to do!!!
I am not the only family member to graduate...my niece Tiffany graduated from UNM in December, Briana graduated from WTAM yesterday and Caitlin graduates from Friona high school in a week or so. Busy time in our lives right now! So proud of everyone's accomplishments! Briana, Caitlin and I graduate with honors, which is pretty neat. For me, once I saw that I could "do it" I set a personal goal to walk with that gold cord. It became my mission. Wayland doesn't tell you you get one...they "cord you" the day of graduation. I have a 3.8, so I should be good to go.
Blessings to everyone!!!
