He did it and I couldn't be a more proud wife!!!!

GRADUATION!!!!!


On May 30th, Jake had his graduation at Westminster. He finally received his MBA and I seriously couldn't be more proud of him! Jake was supposed to be there early, so Avery and I went and saved seats. I know that this might sound totally lame, but as I sat and watched Avery try to walk around the stadium seating, for the first time I realized that I was so proud to be Jake's wife. My husband is sitting in the front with the select few who are going to be receiving their MBA. My husband accomplished this huge task and I'm so proud to be sitting through (kind of a long and boring) commencement with a very busy child. I have always been proud of Jake, but I guess for the first time I realized what an accomplishment he had just finished. When they read his name I totally was holding back tears. He didn't want to walk but I was so glad he did. I am so glad that even though Avery won't remember that day, she will know that she was there and that her dad finished what he started. I am so so so proud of him and so proud to be his wife! It was definitely a proud moment for me.
