It's Official!

I went to let Lola out in the front yard yesterday before going to bed, and a big envelope fell at my feet. It was my DIPLOMA! Yes, that's right. I've official graduated from graduate school! Woo-hoo! I knew that I finished my program at the end of July, but this just makes it feel so real. Apparently I received my Master of Arts in Teaching degree with a Reading Major on August 9, 2008. (It's funny that I never actually knew the official name or when my graduation date...oh well!) I'm so thankful to be finished with going to class from 5:00-9:00 once, sometimes twice, a week after working a full day at school. Yea for having a life again!

I took this picture to show my family (and because I'm just really dorky and excited!)
