Susanne graduates from Seattle Pacific University

so saturday afternoon we headed to Lynnwood Washington, where our daughter and her family lives. we stopped in Toledo Wasington to get our tent trailer, then headed up. we arrived in Lynnwood, checked in at the North Sound RV park, put up our accomidations, then off to see our daughter & family (nearly across the street). sunday was commencement for Seattle Pacific University, held at SAFCO Field in Seattle. it was just the 3 of us(plus her 2 babies) there from our family, showing our support for Susanne. i think they said there were 13,000 people in attendance. her recognition was very near the end, we managed to keep Loerlai entertained, and Melanie happy. then they said her name...............SUSANNE RUTH THIELMAN..cum laude................i felt so proud!! in the past 5 years my daughter has moved away from home, gotten married, had 2 babies, and gotten her Bachelors Degree, and she is only 22 years old! such an accomplishment! i am so grateful i was able to be there for that final conclusion of her education. then back to her home for the party, then off to bed at 11pm. up monday morning to tell her goodbye before she headed off to work, pack up our trailer, say good bye to her family, and we were off, headed south. arrived home, after leaving our trailer again on Toledo washington, about 6 pm, tired. but oh so glad we went!!!!
