Graduation

As I sit here contemplating what to write about in my graduation post, two movie quotes come to mind...

(From Tommy Boy)
Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right.
Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard: Yeah, they're called doctors.

(From Billy Madison)
Billy: Well, what can I say? I graduated. It's over. I did it. I know most of you are saying, "Hey, any idiot could do that." Well, it was tough for me, so back off!


But all jokes aside, I really did FINALLY graduate from Utah State with my bachelor's in Family Life Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Development. It has been a long, hard, crazy road, but it does feel good to finally be finished (although it does mean we now have to start paying back our student loans...)
