It's officially the first day of spring and it feels good to think of the seasons changing and warmer weather coming. It has been a long winter with approximately 82 inches of snow to date. The boys are getting anxious for school to end and summer vacation to start. I am completing the last two classes of my bachelor's degree and am looking forward to graduation on May 16th. I started taking classes about 14 years ago, but stopped about 2 years into the program because we moved and I started a new job. I did not return to school until 2006; I figured I wasn't getting any younger and it was a good way to pass the time while we waited for our referral. I also wanted my boys to see that continuing education is very important. It has not been easy carrying 12 credits a semester while working full time, but it has been very rewarding. My only regret is that I did not finish in time for my Dad to watch me receive my diploma. I'm very happy that my Mom will be there and I know my Dad will be watching me from Heaven above.
