Daddy Graduated!

We are so, so, so incredibly proud of Wes! He finally graduated with his bachelor's degree. He embarked on this journey 10 years ago when we got engaged.  He supported me and worked MANY hours of overtime to get me through nursing school.  The last couple of years it's been my turn to support him as he pursued his degree.  He worked so hard. It's not easy to obtain a bachelor's degree and in the middle of his schooling we got married, had three kids, bought a house, a couple cars, and I finished my degree. He obtained his degree in secondary education with an emphasis in English. He'll be student teaching this fall at Spanish Springs High School. Here are some photos from his big day!!

The kids weren't too entertained with the 90* weather and the 3 hour ceremony, so they entertained themselves. But you better bet when he walked across the stage we whooped and hollared like crazy!

After the ceremony we all went to the Nugget buffet for a yummy lunch. It was also Chris' birthday so it was a fun way to celebrate. We didn't have Finn come to the ceremony because it would have been a little much for him. But he was definitely at the big BBQ celebration the next day. (that will be another post)

Again, I just can't so how proud of I am of my guy!  He's such an awesome example to our children of what you can accomplish with hard work and perseverance.
