Dedication

I'm not dumb enough to think any of you would be remotely interested in reading my thesis, but I thought I would share a key component with my adoring fans. The dedication. Thanks for all the support these last two years. I would not have made it through without my family and friends!

DEDICATION
To my parents and siblings for their unending support of my pursuing this degree. They supported me financially, loaned me cars, and cheered me on these last two years. They rarely complained when I couldn’t make a family outing or come to visit due to scheduling conflicts. I couldn’t have done it without you.
To my aunt Susan for donating her laptop to me this year. Your gift could not have come at a better time. I’m not sure I would have accomplished everything if I was stuck typing in the house instead of at the coffee shop.
To my church family who cheered me on, making sure I had moments of sanity and fun amongst all the schoolwork, grading, and coaching. For my youth group who never complained when class conflicted with our meetings. And to my young adult group who never let me forget what an accomplishment this degree really is!
