After 12 long years and lots of money, B graduated from college yesterday with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies. The ceremony was at 9am and it was cold and foggy. This weather was much preferred over the rain from last year or the extreme heat from two years ago.
We weren't sure how the kids would handle the three hour ceremony but we bribed them with cheezits and raisins they did AWESOME! Big A walked up and down the aisle flirting with Grandma T and Sinda and sitting on Grandpa T's lap. Little A played with princesses and got her nails painted and listened to all of the names being called.
After the ceremony we had a lunch back at my parents' house. We celebrated with a few good friends and family and just enjoyed the day.
It's been a long, sometimes stressful road but we're all SO proud of B. He's worked really hard and has accomplished so much over the years. The question of the day was, "What's next?" B has had many thoughts on this subject... High school teacher, lawyer, etc. but most recently he's thinking that he wants to be a pastor. He's looking at at least six more years of school in a seminary program. We have a seminary within 50 miles of us but it is a full-time, live-in program. He has found a program based in Minnesota that is mainly conducted online and requires 4 weeks per year of study at the Seminary. This would be a difficult feat while working full time and raising a family, but if anyone can do it, B can.
B, God has big plans for you and while they might not be clear at the moment, they will be. Keep praying and whatever will be, will be. GO B!
Also, we want to give a big shout out to our good friend, J! J graduated yesterday with a Masters in Education! YOU ROCK, J (and the pay increase is nice, too!)!
