Graduation!

Well Derrick and I are both officially graduates of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. We received our diplomas on May 9 and then moved the very next day. It was a whirlwind of a weekend. We packed and cleaned our apartment on Friday and then graduated Saturday and moved Sunday on mothers day. (While cleaning the apt. Derrick surprised me by giving me beautiful diamond stud earings for my graduation/birthday/anniversary/mother's day present!) Both of our parents came up for graduation and to help us move. It was hard saying goodbye to all our friends who we have lived with and came to love over the last 3 years. We'll miss our church family and small group and the New England way of life. Living 10 minutes from the beach never got old. The summers were warm but not suffocating like they are in SC. But all good things must come to an end. Us moms flew back while the dad's drove the car and truck down. After 2 days they arrived and we unpacked all of our junk into my parents garage where it has been sitting for the last 5 weeks.
