Baby Daddy's Big Day

The little nug got to see their father graduate from the University of New England, made it into all of the graduation pictures and celebrated with family and friends.  Granted you could only see it if you had x-ray vision, but nonetheless, it was there!

When people look back on college they remember sleepless nights with friends; they remember parties, public safety, bars, bad dancing, drinking games, winning championships, beating rivalry teams and sneaking into the dining hall without a meal plan (that last one specifically pertains to me).  Rarely ever do you talk about the sleepless nights of stress, all nighters in the library, 20 page papers, having no clue what a bibliography is even though you've done them a million times, not knowing proper citations even though you've been using them since 8th grade... College is a huge accomplishment, something to be very proud of.  Four years of hard work and fun memories.  It all comes down to one moment, the miserable 3-4 hours you have to spend in a hot gown, in a stuffy building, listening to people you don't know talk and wasting your time with countless twitter updates about graduation.  It's sad to see the four years go by so fast, it's great to keep the memories and friends you made along the way... and as scary as it is, it's also fun to see what the future holds.  (Who would have guessed that within a year after graduation I'd be starting a family?!)

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to my baby daddy, making all of us very proud.
