Graduation

The Husband has done it.

He fought the good fight to get his MBA and he conquered.

It's been a 1.5 years of class, homework, study groups, projects, and papers.

He's worked extra hard and excelled at time management.

All while still providing for our family. (He kept his day job and went to class on Tuesday nights and all day on Saturdays.)

He made sacrifices and did his best.

Never complained.

I am SO proud of you, Darling!

Before graduation. Family picture on self timer. (Disregard that I look prego. I am definitely not! It's just a flowy shirt.)

He is so smart.

He's gotten even smarter over this past year. Now, we talk about things like "case management" and "six sigma."

(Disregard that I just had to ask him to name something he studied in school.)

Macy and me. Notice her head tilt... When we talk to her, she tilts her head as if that makes her hear us better.

As if we don't talk loud enough.

Maybe she's just trying to understand us. Either way, she's adorable.

Back to graduation...

The ceremony.

Chris, in full regalia, walking to take his seat.

He saw me. But failed to humor me as I snapped his picture.

There they go. The graduates.

The patriotic salute and singing of the National Anthem.

One of the graduates was actually deployed a few days before he would have walked across the stage. His parents were there to receive his diploma and they brought a life-size (top half) picture of him. It was definitely touching.

But then, these days I cry every time I hear someone has been deployed.

Anyway, The moment has arrived! Chris' name is called and he begins his journey across the stage...

Wahoo!!!

His parents were so sweet to come and support him. We cheered as loud as we could when he walked across the stage!

Chris was just glad the guy was able to put on his hood since he, at 6'3", had to bend down far enough for the man to get it over his head.

Full stage view...

All future graduates of any degree, be sure to wear good shoes for your big day. A pair that you can walk successfully in and look beautiful.

Because people like me will be watching.

And checking out your shoes!

The graduate and his wife.


Way to go, JC!!!!
