Isn't that something

More pictures coming...

May 15, 2010 finally arrived! I remember thinking how far away that date sounded, when I started this process back in the Fall of 2007. Now it has come and gone, and it feels GOOD GREAT!

We had a great day, packed with family, food and fun. The weather cooperated, as did my children (for the most part).  Jayda took a spill on the pavement parking lot Friday night, after proclaiming the day, "The best day of my life." I'm not sure what was so grand about it, but I'll agree...it was a great moment. I guess when you are two, whoops, I mean four, getting to spend the night in a hotel is about as good as it gets. I actually did just say she was two, again...how time flies!

For a few moments while I was sitting in the ceremony, my thoughts wandered to my Grandpa, surely watching from above. I can just see him shaking his head and smiling that infectious grin. In disbelief that people can get their college degree on the internet. My how the world has changed, he would have thought to himself. I remember once explaining to him how it all worked and what I had to do for my classes. "Isn't that something," he replied.  Yes, Grandpa, it is.

Three long short years ago, I sat on the same campus and watched Jed's sister graduate. It was that moment that planted a seed in my brain. I was reading through the list of names and the degree's they were graduating with, thinking, I could do this, I should do this...I'm gonna do this.  When we got home, I jumped on my computer to see what they offered online. I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered a Business Administration Degree, completely online. And that is where my journey began. Isn't that something.
