Our Little Girl is Growing Up

This is a very special post, about a very special girl, who did a very special thing: Bug graduated last weekend from Boston University.


It takes a lot of desire and dedication to recommit yourself and pursue something that doesn't fit so easily into your life or your schedule (and study and write about things that have little to do with yours OR YOUR FRIENDS' interests. Fractals anyone?) But Bug held strong and graduated cum laude thank you very much from BU's Metropolitan College, which offered an online program in which she was one of the first students to go through the curriculum. Her class consisted of several people from around the country, many of whom traveled to BU to participate in the ceremony. You could tell by witnessing the interactions Bug had with her classmates and teachers at various receptions how utterly charmed they were by her and how much she contributed to their humble community.

It's kind of the way we feel about her in our humble community here in metro DC. She's added a lot to our little world and we couldn't be prouder of her (note: I totally pillaged this picture from Bug's site. Take advantage of a two for one deal and see it twice!)


Also along for the ride were mama and sister, who are two of the loveliest ladies you could meet. Thank you mama for not being (or at least not showing that you were) annoyed with us and for allowing us to share in the festivities. And I am not, I repeat NOT, in any way entering into a BFF/girlfriend-like relationship with Kirsten (KK, you know the code, I'll call you when the eagle has landed. A not so subtle wink and a hardly discrete nudge follow.)

It was lots of fun hanging with some of my favorite people to celebrate this milestone. Congratulations, Bug. Now girl, you better eat some cheese!
