FINISHED!!!

Brent is finished with his Master's Degree!! It's been a very long 18 months. A year and a half of putting off SO much. Our yard has been taken over by weeds and really needs to be sprayed with weed killer. Brent was able to just up and go out and spray... he didn't have to worry about finding the time between work, the girls and papers and assignments. There is a huge sense of freedom and relief to not have it be on his mind every time he needs to plan something.
This Friday we went to his Commencement Ceremony. It was so much fun! This was my view from the balcony.

THIS is Brent's name in the program!




I managed to keep my eyes pretty dry. We had a lot of fun just going out together and talking about how it feels to put such a huge goal behind us. I'm so proud of all he's done! It certainly hasn't been easy. We've been married 8 1/2 years and Brent has been in school for 5 1/2 of them! It's about time to be done!! Yay for him!!

Hooray!! I'm so proud of you both - Brent for doing it and you for putting up with it (which in my wife/mother's mind is nearly as hard). Congratulations, guys!
