Master of Social Work with Multigravida
It's been a whirlwind weekend 'round these parts! The festivities centered around my graduation from the University of Minnesota's School of Social Work with a M.S.W. degree. The School of Social Work's ceremony is lovely and intimate, with family and friends allowed to "hood" the graduates (the Graduate School ceremony does not include hooding of Master's students). I had a great time on stage with Jerry and Micah on hand to hood. I was also honored by a classmate who asked me to hood her.
All this would be hard to beat, but at dinner after the ceremony, the whole family (parents, parents-in-law, sister & hubby, and my own little fam) presented me with the time-keeping beauty pictured here. I have long fantasized about such a clock gracing my walls - I didn't see this coming. There were a few tears...
To cap it all off, a fine group of friends representative of the various corners of my life ventured out to the Cabooze last night where I was serenaded with Lady Madonna by friend and former co-worker Adam Levy and his kick-ass cover band, Hookers and Blow.
And if all this weren't enough, not only have I joined the ranks of professional social workers, I have also recently joined a new club - the Multigravida Club. I am expecting our second child this December, just in time for the holidays!
Phew! I'm tired....and very happy.
