the first thing (fingerprints)

Several things have been happening lately.

I graduated college:


That is the first thing.  I am happy about this.  I haven't asked, but I think Dad is also happy to not have three kids in college anymore.

One of the nice things about graduating was that I also got this in the mail:


When I mentioned my licensure the other day, somebody brought up drivers' licenses.  Well, yes,they are similar in that it helps to not be a criminal to get/keep either one.  A teaching license is slightly more involved.  The state had to fingerprint me to see if I was really a criminal or not.  The results showed that I was not, so Iowa said that, after four and a half years and a lot of work, I can teach "for real" now.
