This is the best picture I could get of the hooding ceremony because of the distance but it was a special moment.
When you work so long and so hard for one thing it seems that nothing could really bring it to a close and do it justice, but yesterday we tried. Steven graduated yesterday from Purdue University with his PhD. It was a very special moment for him to walk on stage and be hooded (a Professor places a special drape or "hood" over your head to symbolize that you are equal to them) It was a very nice day and a special moment.
The thing that made it most special was to have both Steven's great parents here with us as well as my own wonderful parents.
I am so very proud of him and had a few moments of tears of joy. Now we think ahead to our next adventure.
