Goodbye St. Olaf, Hello World!




We're off to Minnesota today for Kate's graduation!   We're so very proud of her!  She has accomplished so much, graduating in just three years!   

She will be receiving her Bachelor's degree in history.   She is very interested in Russian history (way to go Boris!) as well as ancient history.  She has an interest in Arabic as well.   So her upcoming placement in the Peace Corps will be a terrific next step in exploring the world!    She is anticipating an invitation to work with special needs children in Jordan in the fall.   What an adventure!!   

You can leave her a congratulatory message on her blog
 (also, if you scroll down the page you can see a video of her harp concert in April).

We are looking forward to a very busy weekend in Northfield...concerts, dinners, meeting friends--old and new, GRADUATION, packing up the dorm room, etc.   Besides seeing Kate (#1!!!), Hannah's priorities are a pit-stop at the American Girl store in the Mall of America, and playing Farmboy's electric guitar (Kate's boyfriend).  It will all be great!

Beth-
Enjoy yourself in MN, we are originally from there. You have amazing children! It is hard these days to graduate in 4 years, so for Kate to do it in 3 is remarkable.
