Well, I'm glad that's over...
« on: 12 May 2012, 02:51 pm »
In the past two weeks we've finally gotten our kids out of college (mostly).

Last week our youngest (Julie) graduated with her B.A. in Interior Design. She graduated from Maryville which has a fine Interior Design department. After working for the past year doing her internship at a small local firm, she's already talking about going back evenings to get her B.A. in Architecture.

Last night we saw my oldest (Jeanine) walk getting her second Masters. Her first was a M.A. Music (vocal). Last night she picked up her M.A. in Education from Lindenwood. At some point she'll go back and get her Doctorate but she said she's done for a while. And I can't blame her. After getting her first graduate she went to work teaching and this last one she did evenings and summers. Ten years in all to get the pair. Bless her, I sure didn't have that kind of determination.

Anyway, now to get our youngest into a full time position with an Architecture firm and get her completely on her own bank account :thumb:






.......Steve? She's cheap!

Super!  Did you remodel the house so they can't move back in?    :lol:

Congrats!  My mid-kid should be out the house by the summer of 2013.  After that the pitter patter of little feet will only be the cats!

Congrats to your daughters, and to you for finally having some money for yourself (and maybe some audio goodies).

 :lol: I only wish we had more interior work for her and I'd hire her. She has a good portfolio, lots of talent and a great attitude. She'll do fine once things pick up a bit.

Congrats, Scott! It is wonderful to see them grow, achieve, and then move out to free another stereo room.

I hope she goes on to wonderful things with all that talent. 8)
