Well.....It's over......Sinora.......No more Monday Nights.......Finished.......OK...... I'll stop now.
I finished my course work for my Master's degree Monday night. I will be graduating from SWU on December 15, 2007!!! Yes, this was the program that I started the Monday after the house fire. I remember talking to Mom about dropping out of the program, like it was yesterday. I thought the time wasn't right, I would never be able to get organized and stay focused through all that had happened. I started my Master's at Converse College, and transferred to SWU last summer. Mom and Dad encouraged me to continue on with the plan I had made before the fire, so I did. I loved every minute of it! Well, not every minute of it, having to write a thesis and all, but most of it! I was definitely relieved after every paper and discussion was complete. Thank you all for the support and many prayers.
Another change that's taking place is just as equally as shocking. For many of our family members we remember "the nursery" where we spent many childhood days with Nanny, Aunt Brenda, and our Mama's. This was a place where we were safe, fed, and usually the favorites right Kerrie? After all where else on Earth can you be in time out with a RC Cola and Moon Pie!!! Thanks Nanny
I haven't been able to find any pictures of the nursery back then, but this is what it looks like now.
Kerrie, take a look at the yellow chair. Is that a time out chair? Where's the RC Cola and Moon Pie? No wait, maybe that's the chair that you and Katie decided to decorate and clean up after yourselves of course!!! And where's that monkey? Has any one seen a monkey last spotted swimming in potty! Aunt Cathy can explain this one. Those were some good times! I am thankful for the many laughs and memories.
More to come,
~Ashley

Congrats. I am finishing up my last few classes and I can feel your pain. It's tough. Good for you and your parents for pushing you that extra step you needed from them. That's wonderful!!!!
There are so many memories in that place. I cried when I was told it looked like this!!! Yes I loved time out cause Nanny would hide me and Katie in the closet and give us soda and Cookies or anything we wanted. Those are things that will never be forgotten even if the building is gone. Oh my the monkey he just wanted to swim for a little while and Aunt Cathy and mommy didn't think it was a good idea for him to swim in the potty but It was the best idea to me and Katie!!! The little yellow chair well all I can say is it needed some color soooooo we added color and no one like it but me but remember that I had more fun cleaning the chair then I did coloring the chair and nanny thought it was so funny cause mommy and Aunt Cathy was trying to act mad about it so we wouldn't do it again.!!!! Great Memories!!!!!Ashley I am very proud of you for sticking with school through the hard times. Now you can say I have my MASTERS. Thats a great achivement.... Love ya Kerrie
