Phew! Alot has happened in the last four years since Erika first started her masters program with VCU. It's been a long scholastic journey and looking back, the last four years have yielded some pretty amazing accomplishments. Aside from the pending DIPLOMA (yeah!)which Erika will get in August after her summer internship, we not only moved two times but had two wonderful little girls, too. Keeping up with the demands of a masters program took alot of precious time away from the family and while Erika will miss learning in a structured classroom, it sure is nice to have evenings and weekends completely free with the family. Ah! The first weekend after the last paper was submitted, Erika admitted that by 1pm, she was "bored." What's to do when you don't have to make time for a husband, two children, a dog, and a ten-page paper!?!?!?
Thumbs up! Emailing the very LAST paper!
It's all starting to feel more real: Erika's receives her first congratulations card from Shea!
A little blurry, but Erika "walked" in May; for the ceremony, August grads were also honored.
After the ceremony, it had been a long morning and both kids were near their breaking point but we managed to get a family shot!
