Meeting Baby Becca

Mom baptized baby Becca this morning.  I was thrilled to finally meet the little miracle - despite a VERY rocky start she's thriving!  I knew I'd have to battle with her extended family to get a chance to hold her, but Nancy made sure I got my turn!  She looked up at me with such inquisitive, admiring eyes.  She did the same with Mom while she was being baptized.  You can almost see the wheels turning in her head as she watches!  It was fun, too, to hear her vocalizations and compare them to the ones I recorded for my senior thesis.  Lol.  Sometimes I'm too much of a student.

Graduation!

Finally, two and a half weeks after the event took place, I have photos to post from my graduation.  On May 17, 2009, I graduated cum laude from DePauw University with a BA in psychology.  =)  I'm beyond thrilled!!

We had a perfect day -- sunny with a breeze to take the edge off the heat -- for the outdoor ceremony.  It took fully 2 and a half hours to get through everything, but I was pretty excited so I didn't mind.  I can't believe I've got a degree now!

almost done

I just finished the final edits on my senior thesis.  I'll turn it in first thing tomorrow morning.  I can't believe it's done!  I've still got to put together a presentation about it, but I'm not so worried about that since the paper's done.  Plus, this work earned me the Senior Thesis and Research awards from the department!

The end is in sight
