I’m A Vanguard Alumni!

As many of you may know, I spent 2 of the years I was at Revolution driving down to Vanguard University every Monday night to finish up my Bachelors degree.  It was the #1 goal Rachel and I set after we got married as we looked to the future and set some goals for ourselves and our life together.

I kinda drug my feet at the end there, but a few weeks ago I finally took my last CLEP test.
American History, 1965(oops) 1865-present.
I needed a 50 to pass.
I got a 51.
Rachel took care of the paperwork for me.
And this came in the mail today:

It’s officially finished!
At 29 years old I finally upgraded from that Associates degree.
I took the 11 year graduation plan, but hey, once again, better late than never, eh?
And it only took going to 5 different colleges to get there! (There was a sixth, but none of those units counted.)

And the biggest congrats on this one really needs to go to my wife!
She put up with a lot of crap for me to get there.  Nights away. Late nights writing papers.  (Lots of debt in school loans!)  She’s the best.

So now I’m trying to figure out what really changes.
Anyone think the board wants to give me a raise now?
Haha.  Yeah.  I figured not, too.
