The proud family below and the new graduate with her amazing hair on the right (she actually wore it down and put blue and gold [LBCC colors] glitter in it for the graduation!) Pretty awesome!

Nicole is Graduating!
Just wanted to let you all know that Nicole is Graduating from Linn Benton Community College with her accounting degree this Thursday night at 7 pm, and you're all invited! It will be held at the Linn County Fairgrounds, and will most likely last about 1 1/2 hours. (At least that's what I was told!!)
Mom's and Dad's brag points are that...
1. She did it. The first time we went to apply at LBCC for classes, I was so nervous whether this home schooled kid would be accepted, and how would she do in her classes, and have I done my job as the mom/teacher, and all that stuff that moms can do to themselves (and their children). The registration folks were very excited to get a home schooled person, saying that they in general do very well, and were encouraging them to come to college. Nicole four pointed her first class, and we were off.
2. She did it debt-free, with hardly any help at all from her parents. (The Bums)
3. While attending school for her accounting degree, she also took a birth doula training and a post-partum doula training, and worked in this capacity to help pay for her classes. She also completed an "office technology certification" as the classes were an easy add on to her original program.
4. She has been able to work at the Benton County Health Department as an intern to finish out her required credits and earn more money to apply toward her schooling.
So-the way to find her in the crowd, is that she will have her hair down to her finger-tips with hair glitter in it. She didn't like the idea of decorating the cap, so this was the next best option I guess!
Any questions, give us a call or an e-mail!
Thanks,
Jeanne
