The photo above was taken in August of 2019 when our son moved into his apartment near Northwest Missouri State University. It is hard to believe that a year and four months have passed since then. We spent yesterday packing him up and moving him home. (I did not take any pictures because it was too cold to lollygag.) He is officially a college graduate with a degree in Computer Information Systems.
Moving him from Iowa to Northwest Missouri State University in August of 2019 was a short two hour drive and warm weather. Moving him this weekend from Missouri to Colorado was a 1,250 mile round trip in two days and very cold weather. We also got to drive in some snow on the way out just for a little added extra pleasure.
COVID-19 restrictions continue to make life challenging. I feel so sad for all of the graduates last spring and this fall who have been denied a ceremony to celebrate their achievements. I realize that it is not the end of the world to miss out on a graduation ceremony, but it is still disheartening nonetheless.

I want to offer a word of thanks to the leadership and all of the students connected with the Newman Catholic Center at Northwest Missouri State University. Your presence was a blessing to our son during his time there.
I offer a word of congratulations to all of the students who are December graduates. May you be blessed beyond measure!
I offer a special word of congratulations to my son, Joseph Dobelmann! God has blessed you with many gifts. May your pursuit of excellence truly bring glory to God in all that you do. Dream big! Live a life of zeal and fervor. Seek holiness in all things! The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion, power, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you always!
