I'm finished...finally!

When I dropped Addie off at Tim's parents' house for the last Friday evening graduate class two nights ago, they surprised me with a "photo shoot" and some fun graduation gifts for finally finishing up my program. It is hard to believe that I am finished, and that when I began the program, Addie was only 6 months old! She is almost two now, and the time has just flown by! I couldn't have done it without loads of support and help from Tim, the Hewitts, and my mom and Dave. With a little one to take care of too, their help was definitely appreciated on Friday nights when my class and Tim's work schedule overlapped, Saturday's when Tim needed some help for one reason or another, and then again when I needed some "alone"time to write a paper or finish a project.....not to mention the laptop computer my mother had just gotten that she loaned to me for the program and just got back 15 months later! So...thanks family! I am very happy to be done and have my weekends back again, and hopefully, I will be a better teacher because of it!
