Proud

Jennie, my youngest daughter, graduated from the University of Colorado this past Thursday. Debbie, Lauren, Charlie, Barbara, Larry and Jack all flew out to Colorado to witness the event. She was surrounded by family.

She was one of six hundred kids who graduated from the school of business. Jennie majored in Accounting. It was very cool to hear her name called out and to see the smile on her face. I’m so proud of her!

It’s hard to believe that 4 years has gone by this fast and that she’s done with school already. It felt like yesterday that we were bringing her stuff to the Kindrick dorm for her freshman year. We drove through the campus this past Friday…. for what felt like the last time. I felt tender and on the verge of tears.

The graduation ceremony caused me to pause and think about how I felt when I was done with school. It was an incredible feeling. No more classes. No more tests. No more homework. I was ready to get out. Then again, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. If I did, I probably would have stayed in school another year or two to fully enjoy that time of my life.

Jennie is still searching for what life after college will bring her. Debbie and I will support whatever choice she makes.

Until next time.
Passion Rules.
