Graduation


I graduated. No more papers, exams, responses, or discussions!!!! Friday afternoon I went through the official graduation ceremonies at UNT.


After the ceremony my mother hosted a small party for our close family to celebrate! Grammy, or Jonette (Justin's mom) provided TONS of barbecue and Sprinkles cupcakes. It was so good and so nice of her to provide the food!


The three kids

Attacking Justin

I might also say, I think I can state with confidence that Caroline is a walker. She walked everywhere last night. Little Charlie was at the party and Caroline just loved him and walked and played with him all night.




On a final note....I know I would not have been able to do this without massive help. The class times required that I be away from Caroline on some nights. Justin often left work early to pick her up and care for her. My mom and my dad also helped when Justin was unable. Justin's family has been of great support as well and cheered me on all the way. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I am excited to see where this degree will take me.

We are so proud of you, Allison. We love you very much. Congratulations on a job well done. I can't believe what you have accomplished. You did it so well too. You never whined or complained that you couldn't do it. You amaze me with your work ethic, most importantly the person you are. You are an wonderful Christian young lady, mother, wife, friend, and family member and we admire you. You couldn't make me more proud.

Much love always,
Mom

Love always

Allison,
I just shared what I wrote to your dad and he said, "Why didn't you put my name on it?" I couldn't go back and put him on it. Of course he agrees with all I said. I should have put his name and I'm sorry that I didn't. I also caught a mistake and it wouldn't let me correct it either. I changed my adjective from awesome to wonderful and forgot to fix the an. Oh well, you know I make mistakes. :)
Love always,
Mom and Dad

I am so proud of you! I know that was a long hard journey and you weren't always thrilled about the night classes after the long days of teaching. You deserve a serious pat on the back. And whoa, go Caroline! I am so excited to see her walking around!!!!
