Graduation

Last Friday, SM graduated with his PhD from USU. It was such a great day and we are excited that he is really done. DONE with school!
This is a picture of SM with his dissertation committee chairperson. Chris has been such a help and there for us. We were blessed to have him in our corner as we completed all the paperwork and jumped through all the hoops.
Cathy is othe other person that helped with getting everything done. She was also taking pictures at the graduation and I hope to get a copy of her photos. We took Chris and Cathy out to lunch earlier in the week to thank them for all their work and efforts. I love that the Lord puts certain people in your path and that they took the time to serve us selflessly.
And here we are...looks good, yes?!
I can't remember this guys name, but he was the dean of the college or something...anyway, it turns out that my father-in-law knows him and actually set he and his wife up on a date, they in turn fell in love and married. If you feel the urge to start whistling "It's a small world" now would be the time to follow that urge.

There was a reception afterwards. We had some yummy cheese, crackers, veggies and fruit tarts. I'm sorry to my in-laws, since I was the one holding the camera, I got to take their picture a lot...and most of the time they weren't aware I was taking it. Next time I'll tell them to smile.

What a wonderful moment for you both! Exciting milestone to finally get to after so many years of school and hard work! Wish there was a better less-frequently used word than Congratulations. . . but I couldn't think of one. So, CONGRATULATIONS. . . best wishes for your future free of school! (unless it's for fun) :)

HAPPY DAY! I'm so happy for the both of you. That has got to feel so good. But, I do have to wonder what Jeremy will do now that he isn't a perpetual student...
