Yes, Master


Last night I was filled with great pride to see my lovely bride receive her Master's degree at the Winter commencement ceremony. It can't be understated how hard Nicole has worked these last 3.5 years. She's juggled full time work, multiple part time jobs, a full load of graduate courses, and a pregnancy--all while putting up with a dufus like me. Her hard work kept us fed, clothed, and sheltered while we pursued graduate education. After going through so much last winter, Nicole committed to press on with her studies and this fall finished her coursework to earn a Master of Non-Profit Administration degree. I'm continually impressed with her diligence and her grace under fire. She is an inspiration to me. Congratulations, Nicole. You've more than earned it.

You are the smarterest!

In all seriousness, though - congratulations, Nicole! That is so awesome!

Nicole--I was already extremely impressed with all you've accomplished in the last three years, but I now I am in awe having seen each item (most difficult to accomplish on their own)in a very impressive list. Well done!

Nicole, you rock! I'm proud of you. And of course, pleased as punch about the Nonprofit Administration bit :)

Certainly, you have developed perserverence and an abundant amount of character over these last couple years (James 1).
