Graduation

I am so proud of my husband. Tomorrow, May 17, 2008, he graduates from Kansas State University with a degree in Biological Agricultural Engineering. He will be the first person in his family with a college degree. He started this degree about seven years ago and the road along the way has been pretty bumpy. Along the way he took care of his grandmother (who will be there to watch him receive his diploma), got married and took a semester off to adjust to a new way of life, was deployed and forced to put school on hold for two years, and he came back and knuckled down. Now he is faced with some major life changes (a new baby and having to start a new full time job) and he has taken it all in stride.

He has a new job that he’ll start right after Memorial Day. He’ll work on the local military base as a mechanic for the next six months while he continues to search for the job that God has waiting for him. This will at least get us through the rest of the year and give us both peace of mind with the addition of our son in a month.

I love you, Ryan, and I am so proud of you. Congratulations!
