The Fun Side of Graduation Pics


That's Shannon (Trent's girlfriend) and Trent. I don't know what Shannon's doing..... They're both planning on going to NDSU for Grad School to study Chemistry. Shannon being next fall with Trent beginning in the fall of 2011.


Elton and I! I was so at this concert! By myself (thanks to Trent only buying me one ticket....I was busy at a speech meet and couldn't get them myself...) sitting next to a middle aged single man who work at Walmart in Detroit Lakes.....very creepy!


Luke and Shania.

Post Ceremony Family Pics


Trent wanted me to show off my EMPTY diploma! Notice the tassel with TWO colors! Blue for Education and White for Spanish!

The spread at the FargoDome


Adam and I are laughing at how much my family section was waving at me. First I saw them, and waved. Luke waved back. Then my Grandma Kurtz saw me and waved, so I waved back. Then a few others piped in and waved so I had to wave again to acknowledge them. Adam asks "do you know those people?" and laughs.


Getting my diploma from my college's president.


Shaking hands with the temporary president.


Walking away graduated!!!

picking up the Sabin's at the airport......Sabin style!


So...Luke recently got a sweatshirt that mimics Boba Fett's armor (Star Wars bounty hunter) so we decided to dress him up to meet the Sabin's at the airport!



They knew it was him RIGHT AWAY!

Post Student Teaching

So...I've been done student teaching for a week. I spent my days at Sylvan playing secretary and tutoring lots of kids! I also had a visit from one of my students from Fargo North! I told them they could come and visit and ask quick chemistry questions. This particular student also asked me to teach him how to talk to women and also proposed to me. I broke his heart, I was told. It's been a great week! I got payed for working and it was only 8.5 hours a day! (Instead of 13 for the past 3 months...)

Luke's in bed already. He's had a loooooong week with a few final projects and exams. Still 3 exams left for next week. He was up late last night studying chemistry. He's grown to love the subject! He's also glad that he can follow conversations Trent and I have better. Not to mention Shannon, Trent's girlfriend, is also a Chemistry major.....so we have some great conversations! Luke is a little closer to contributing...

8.5 days until the official graduation ceremony! I can finally get a good picture of me receiving a diploma! (The high school one didn't turn out so hot...).
