Graduation

It was a few months ago, more like 8 months, way back in February when I official completed my Bachelor's degree.  Since completing my Bachelors degree all online via distance learning from my school here in Colorado Springs, there wasn't much of a thought of graduation.  It worked out so awesome that we were moving to Colorado Springs and that my graduation ceremony was scheduled for the weekend after arriving.

My official diploma was mailed to me while still in Germany.  Graduation Regalia was mailed to my Aunt here in Colorado to ensure it made it here and did not get lost on it's trip to Germany.  Also saved me some room in my luggage.

The weekend was very exciting my parents flew down from Wisconsin to join me in the great celebration. As part of the graduation weekend I was given a ticket to the Rockies game and discounted tickets for my guests.  We enjoyed the game, hotdogs and beer on a beautiful Sunny evening.  

I have more pictures, not all sure where they are at but this is one of me with all the graduation get-up.  I wore two cords, one for honors, and second for Military Service.  There ceremony was quite long, starting with the doctorate, master, bachelors, and associates degree presentation.  It was well worth it and was very happy to have the opportunity to participate in my graduation ceremony.

All three of my degree are now frame displayed proudly in my office in our new house.  Happy to be done with my Bachelor's but I am seeing that school never ends and always new things to learn.  Before starting on my Masters Degree, I want to spend more time studying for my next rank as well as take a Photography course or Personal fitness certification course.  So many options out there.
