What a day! I am blissfully exhausted! I got the kiddos off to school this morning, and then headed to Kohls to do a little shopping before my classes. I picked up one of Cavan's birthday presents (a Tony Romo jersey); I think he'll be very excited about it! After my classes, I hurried home and ironed clothes for our church directory pictures, which we had after the kiddos got home from school today. Once we finished with pictures, I had time to run home and change and then I was off again to the Phi Theta Kappa induction ceremony. We didn't get home until almost 9pm (and I still haven't began my homework), but it was so worth it. :) I wanted to participate in the induction ceremony so badly in February, but I was still recovering from my knee surgery. So, tonight, it was a chance to reclaim something that was "taken" from me with that fall. I was very proud to celebrate such an achievement with my family. If I didn't have such a rockstar for a hubby, and an awesome support system - there perhaps would not have been an achievement to celebrate! Here's some pictures from this special night.

I'm loving that I was able to walk down the stairs for my induction! I went down those steps like a pro! :)
Saying our "vows."
It's almost my turn!
One of the advisors - reading my introduction and message to my family.
Getting my stole (am I short, or what?!)
Hooray!

Oh, Steph, I am so so proud of you!! And so pleased that your mom was able to be there with you! What a great honor you have achieved and even greater because you are a wife and mother in addition to being a student - and all the obstacles you had last year! I so wish I could have been there to celebrate with you but wanted you to know I am busting with pride in you!!! Oh - and the pictures are wonderful of all of you! Praise the Lord for that knee bending so well:)
ReplyDeleteYou rock, sister! Congratulations! You have to feel so accomplished with all the things that you do, especially despite the obstacles (poor knee!) Love you!
