One last trip

If you read the previous post you know that Bill is finally done with grad school. It has been a long haul but he is done! It is kind of weird to think about because it has consumed his life for the past 3 1/2 years. Over the weekend he made one final trip to St. Paul, for school that is. 

We had a fun filled Friday and kept the fun going Saturday. We got up and headed to the zoo. Just in case you wondered the free zoo that is having a family fun day is really, really busy! As we walked out I realized we had taken no pictures of our time there, among the chaos, so we made the girls pose in front of this sign, so we could remember that is was family day. It was craziness!                     

 Bill made one last stop to Bethel's campus. He really needed to return some books to the library but we had to take the time to pose in front of the sign.

 This is the bench Bill use to sit on while talking to us when he had a break, hence the picture.

 The final stop for the weekend was a picnic with Bill's classmates. Very fun to actually get to meet the people he has been taking classes with for the past few years. I have heard about them and their families so it was to fun to meet them. Jennifer and Mikayla had fun running around the park playing with the other kids and we had fun chatting with everyone. It was a great way to end finally being done with school!

As we drove home I told Bill that it was the last time he would be driving those roads for school. We added up the weeks he spent at school over the past 3 1/2 years and it was 14 weeks! I don't think he could even begin to add up the number of hours spent reading books, writing papers, reading posts from fellow classmates, and listening to lectures. What a journey it has been! Congratulations to Bill and the rest of Cohort L!
