Bernadette's life. : Graduation Time

For the past 4 years I have worked so diligently to accomplish one thing: My Bachelors Degree. And I am so beyond happy to announce that I have FINALLY accomplished this small step in my educational goals. I was 9 months pregnant with 1 class left. I graduated on November 12th, 2011 at the University of Phoenix Stadium (Cardinals Stadium). I am so happy that I had the privilege to have my beautiful newborn daughter present. Even though she was asleep the whole ceremony, My husband Derek who was the one who pushed me and ALWAYS got on me to finish my homework on time. (I am the biggest slacker/procrastinator EVER!) My mom for ALWAYS pushing me and giving me the encouragement that I have always needed throughout this journey. and My daddy. Daddy without you I don't think this would have ever been possible. Thank you for always pushing me to my fullest ability. and thank you all for trusting in me. (I just sounded like I won a Grammy and I'm giving my "thank you" speech

Throughout my entire life I have lived on this Biblical scripture:

Philippians 4:13, "I CAN do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength."
