Check out that smile....I was SO ready to grab that tube and run. I got to my seat and opened my tube to see what fun surprise would be inside. I knew my real degree wasn't in there because grades for the semester I just finished won't be out until next week. There wasn't much in that tube though...a letter of congratulations and an alumni association sticker. Big whoop.
After the ceremony, we decided to pose for some pictures. There I am with my right-hand man! My biggest cheerleader the past five years!
Check out my Master's hood. Pretty snazzy, huh? You KNOW you want to rock one of those!
Mom and Dad also came to the ceremony...they have been great supporters too. My mom told me today that my Grandma Riemersma said I am the first Riemersma to get a Master's Degree! Pretty cool stuff!
After we left WMU, we decided we were all ready for lunch (the ceremony was at 9:00 am! Ugh!) So Mom and Dad took us to TGI Fridays.
Then mom and dad surprised me with a gift! What?!?! I wasn't expecting anything, but mom is pretty sneaky when she is proud of her kids. She and my dad got me a really pretty pair of earrings--aquamarine bloodstones--my birthstone. I'll be sporting those puppies tomorrow at my party!When we got home, Louis was so excited to see me...even he is excited that I am done! Aww!!!
Originally I wasn't going to walk and I was a bit skeptical this morning when the alarm went off at 5:30 am. But I am glad I did it, because now it feels official! And tomorrow I will get to see all of you! There is not a much better gift than that!
