Graduation

Sitting here in the motel room waiting to go to graduation. Our little girl graduates from college today. The last four years have gone really fast. Then tomorrow morning we head out to the Twin Cities to where she is moving. She was off a couple hundreds of a point from graduating with honors. As she has been down here for four years already, there will be no empty nest problems. Besides the son and two dogs are still at home. Hope she gets more use out her education then I did with mine. It is interesting to watch her, confident, ready to face the world, full of hope. She does not have a job yet, but not worried about it. Both of my kids are a lot like me, but her attitudes and opinions are more like mine than either of them.

Do not know where the time has gone, but it has been thirty one years since I graduated from college. What an interesting road it has been.
 
Congrats Reddog! That is awesome. She did it in four years!!!! :eek: I didn't think that was possible nowadays. Good for her! :tiphat: :applause: :applause:

I'll always remember my daughters graduation ceremonies at Ohio State. One for her bachelors and two years later for her masters in Architecture. The whole process took over 7 years for her to complete. The ceremonies are very moving. You'll swell with pride. It's a great feeling.
 
Thank you all. However I must point out that the ceremony was about as exciting as mine was, boring, waiting to get on to the next step. Sorry, but that is the way it was.

The better part was at my brother in laws after the ceremony. Most of my wifes remaining uncles and aunts except one showed up. Family reunion time.

Getting her moved into her new apartment in the twin cities went quite fast. That was the sad part, she was all excited about having her own apartment that was not part of the school system, even though she will have a room mate. She is now on the next phase of life, the real world.

That means that except for the short visits home if she can make them, she is now out of the house for good.:cry:
