He Did It!



Here is my husband, second from the right, in his graduation regalia (or "costume" as Livia called it!). We had a whirlwind celebration weekend with out-of-town guests in attendance. Graduation was Saturday. It turned out to be a perfectly beautiful day and our family watched B from the grassy knoll of the stadium. Following the main ceremony (Liberty had about 6000 graduates), we attended the law school ceremony, where B was recognized as finishing Magna Cum Laude. In this photo he stands with three of his closest friends.

It has been three grueling years, but he did it. We are so very proud of the time and the effort that B exerted to do so well. (We weren't always glad he spent such time and effort, but we tried to remain cheerful!) Not only has he gained experience and knowledge, but the Lord has challenged and changed him as a man, provider, and leader over these past three years. Our family is in a better place today because of this journey. For a very brief moment we pause, and celebrate THUS FAR.

WOOHOO!!! I am SO, SO ultra-excited for all of you! Congratulations, Braden! I am proud of you, just as a friend to Calli. :) Something about this milestone just thrills me to pieces...either b/c you all made it through such a grueling 3 years successfully and are on to bigger and better things, or b/c I know Scott's day is coming next May. (Likely both!) I couldn't be happier for your family to have made it to this point. There is so much promise of GOOD THINGS in store for the future! :) Much, much love to you all! :)
