"Your college graduation fills us with love and pride.
We always knew that you could do whatever you really tried.
It's a long and challenging journey to get a college degree,
But you wouldn't quit it, you just went and did it, and we're beaming affectionately.
Your achievement is awesome, Farley; you've worked hard and you've passed the test.
We love you so, and we want you to know, we think you're the very best!"

WOW! I know how much you sacrifice to go back to school- it is not easy but you did it! What an accomplishment- I never had doubt that you would go out and kick butt- that's what we are made of. We wish we could have been there to celebrate but we are in thought. Take lots of pictures and share. We love you.

Kim - I am so proud of you I always was in awe of your abilities and continue to be. Even the times when others wondered how you could live in chaos I could see there was a unique and special mind behind it all. You march to the beat of your own drum and I am glad you found the band you want to march with NEVER EVER change the neat person that you are because you truly are special in your way and I always admired that. Remember you are fifty and fabulous and should be extremely proud.

Actually i looked last night because my internship grade just posted and i now have a 3.578! Almost made 3.6! It was the best thing i have ever done for myself and owe Sue and Bib and Clark and my girls credit as well. It's a great moment and when i walk across the stage tonight i will have a huge smile. I DID IT!!!!

We started the program with almost 90 (most of us that are graduating were wait-listed for the Interior Design Program (including myself) and 16 of us made it through!
