I graduated with my MPA -- May 11, 2012.  Here's another picture that I hope I can look at some day and say "That was me at my biggest."  I'll never go back to that again.  When I bought my cap and gown, I had to get the 2x gown.  It was way too big on me, but the 1x was way too small.  Yet another motivator.  

Here's my MPA class -- or most of it.  Although most of us will likely never work with each other again, there are several great friends in this class.  I'm so glad I met them all and I cherish the memories.
