I did it.

More than two years ago, I had an idea, an idea that grew into a dream, no a goal really.
While my mom and dad gave us everything that had, (and continue to), neither of my parents have a college degree. I thought about this on Saturday as I walked into that stadium and heard "Pomp and Circumstance," through tears I searched the crowd for my family. My family who have been present for college graduation, my wedding, the birth of my two children, everything. I thought about all the papers, the readings, the assignments, the new job that I'll begin in a few short months, and about M & J, and what this day might someday mean to them. I thought about how thankful I am for my parents, my brother and best fried who's always there, and for my husband, for his support, everything he did to get us through the really hairy times.
Saturday I graduated with my masters in school counseling.
