This past weekend I FINALLY graduated with my masters from Concordia University! We headed up to St. Paul on Saturday morning to get checked in to the hotel and get everything settled before the ceremony. I was really glad I participated in the commencement ceremony. It felt good to get a little recognition for all my hard work. However, I know I could have never done it without the support of my family and friends!
Sutton looked a little surprised to see me afterwards with my cap and gown on. Once he realized it was just me he had a fun time playing with my tassel. Trying to get a family picture was pretty much impossible!
Both my family and Kyle's mom and niece were able to make it up for the celebration. It was nice to have everyone together. After dinner Macalan and Sutton finally got to go swimming. I told Macalan that the pool wouldn't be open for him to swim until mommy graduated and everyone ate dinner. I had to tell him this little white lie because he kept hounding us to go swimming! :)
He had a great time and both boys were exhausted by the end of the night. Sunday morning we all took a really nice walk by St. Paul's Cathedral and in the neighborhoods surrounding the area. We couldn't believe what nice houses there were!
It was a great weekend full of family fun! Not to sound greedy, but I particularly enjoyed the monetary gifts I received! :) On the way home we stopped at the outlet mall in Medford and I did a little shopping. I had to because I have been swimming in all of my clothes. I can't even tell you how good it feels to put clothes on, that are a 1-2 sizes smaller, and have everything fit awesome! I would never trade my boys for anything, but pregnancy really did a number on my body and it feels amazing to be in what is probably the best shape I have ever been in! I will post more about this in a future blog.
Now I need to go get registered for my doctorate program. Yeah right! Well, maybe someday! :)
