Finally!

15-years after I graduated high school, I finally have my college degree. Finally!

Try telling a toddler where to find Mommy in a sea of black. I don't think she ever found me despite everyone's best effort.
Diploma in hand and making a quick exit. College of Science was 2nd to graduate, and for once my generic last name paid off. Alphabetically I was 30th in line, while a friend who's name started with an S was 309th. Yay to be an Anderson!!

Couldn't have done it without Gabe.

Obligitory candid self portrait...

Molly loved my tassel. Loved it. Wants to wear it everyday. When I tell her she can't wear it, asks me if I'll wear it again....

Who knew bike racks were just tall enough to become a tunnel for a little girl?

After sitting thru the ceremony, Molly ran and ran and ran and ran... I find it amazing we convinced her to sit still long enough to take a couple of family photos!

And now what has become an apparent tradition, the shot of Sara attempting to sleep thru the whole shebang.
