She Made It!!!

Graduation Congrats

My daughter, Lana, likes to write letters on her blog to family members. So I think I will copy her and write her a letter.

So Lana - congratulations on your graduation (almost) from college. I know you have 2 classes to finish, but I want you to know how very proud I am of you. You have worked for a long time and made many sacrifices to complete your associates and then your bachelor's degree. I am slighty jealous because I never finished my degree. I wanted to, but it never worked out for me. Maybe I will be one of those who becomes a non-traditional student. Anyway, I know at times it was hard to see your friends and roommates with a lot more freedom than you had. They didn't have to work like you did. I hope this made you appreciate your education more and helped you to understand how vitally important it is that we work hard for that which we want most. You have learned so many lifelong lessons over the course of the past 7 years and I am so very proud of you.

Actually, I am proud of Taylor and Shannon too. They earned their degrees while they were married and raising kids and working. I am always amazed at how my children accomplish what they do. Good work!!
