For the past two years I have been an A+ graduate student, an A-/B+ Spanish teacher, and a D/F wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Well, that is all about to change! This past Friday (12/12) I graduated with my M.Ed. from Freed-Hardeman University. I would have had no interest in walking, had it not been for my sister who received her B.A. in the same ceremony!
Congratulations Laura Beth! She is working as a youth minister for the Skyline Church of Christ in Jackson, TN. We are 2.5 years apart in age and have always been 3 years apart in school. It was a unique experience to graduate together. I am glad that she will be living so close to us!
Although my graduate program was not that difficult, it was time consuming and I am SO THANKFUL to my husband who was supportive through the whole two years. He is fantastic! When I had to go to the main campus, he was my "car companion" and he picked up a lot of my responsibilities. A lot of things went undone while I was in school, but he was rather patient and understanding. He took the below picture one Saturday while I was in class to show how much I was behind on laundry (please also notice the layer of dust on the dresser). I came home and cried.
My parents have also been a great support. Both of them have chosen careers of service (teacher and social worker) and they had a great influence on my career choices. Thanks Mom and Dad!
I can't wait to see what I can accomplish in all of my "free time!"

Congratulations coming from a fellow-I-drove-to-Henderson-that-many-times-too-graduate! I am so proud of you Emily, or should I say Master Emily. :) You do have a wonderful husband. What a blessing to have such wonderful support. I love you guys.
How special to have walked with your sister. I opted out, as you may remember. So what is the official title?
Oh, and asparagus roll-ups are white bread (crusts removed and rolled flat) with the cream cheese and bacon spread and asparagus rolled up inside.
My mother-in-law sent us a jar of pepperocinni peppers to make your famous roast. It is still one of our faves. Love you!
