Graduation

Who knew I could be so proud it was hard to contain myself?

Yes, I can't say enough how proud I am of J - who pushed through so much to get her degree.  A few weeks ago, we had the wonderful opportunity to watch her graduate.  She did it despite me going out of town for months on end, working at the church, being an amazing mother, wife, and sister.  It wasn't easy, but she worked very hard to get this wonderful accomplishment.

We had her graduation ceremony on a Saturday, and then had a few people over for a BBQ afterwards.  On Sunday, we had a get together at the park across the street from our church.  We had between 30-40 people show up to celebrate with us - it was a great time.  The weather was a little iffy, but it held up well for us.  It was a fairly stressful weekend (we pulled off the 2 parties after being gone all week in cinci), but was well worth it.

Thank you to all the people that supported us, and helped us as she worked to get her degree.  We can't wait to see what comes next...





Walking back down the aisle as an official graduate!


Professor Moore (who was also her advisor - he was a blessing to have as she went through this)

Professor Ken Solomon (who was definitely a favorite - always gave J a hard time and was extremely supportive)
