Dear Mister Graduate,

We did it!!!! As of Saturday you have your Master's Degree and I have my Bachelor's. While it feels like it has been a long time coming... endless hours of homework, stress, and tests... it also feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. When we met you were just finishing up your Bachelor's Degree and considering psychology school in another state. I remember feeling desperate for you to stay and we barely knew each other then. I know it was because, in my heart I knew right away that I could never say goodbye to you. When we got married I still had 2 years left of school. I was on the 5 year plan... ya know, what happens to people when they get crazy and switch their major {a decision I am SO grateful for making by the way}. It was then that we debated whether or not you should get your Master's now. We'd planned on you getting it someday but you hadn't even been done with your Bachelor's Degree long and you were working full time so I'm sure, the thought of working on homework at night did not make it an enticing decision. But man am I sure glad we decided to do it. We finished school like we planned before starting our family and we worked hard side by side the last year and a half to do it. It feels so good to say that it is finally done!! I want you to know that I have never been more proud of someone than you. You are incredibly smart and dedicated to doing what you set your mind to and I admire that in you. We make a great team you and I and I'm ready to conquer this new adult job world with you. :)
Happy Graduation to the both of us! On to our next crazy adventure together!

Love you!
