Graduation....a few months late!

In April 2010, my husband and I decided to have me begin my masters degree. We knew that it was going to be a hard and long journey, but we decided that it was worth it in the end. Tessa was only about 8 months old when I started which was very difficult; however, the program that I began was a fast paced program that was going to be done in a year. So I just had to buckle down and "do it". On May 5th, 2011...it was all worth it. Here are some pics from the graduation. I know I am posting this a few months late, but I figured it was an important event in my life that I should not push aside. I ended up earning my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction in Reading.





I want to give a special thanks to all the people who helped me accomplish this goal. Thanks, Mom, Amy and Adam. You all helped me so much with Tessa, I could not have done it without you. Hooray! I have a Masters!

PS: My family thought it was pretty funny that the announcer at the graduation announced me as Reagan Turkey...not Turley. Hopefully one day I will be able to laugh at that myself :-)
