Graduation.

What a team! I would have never went back to school if it wasn't for Jed, nor would I have ever finished if it wasn't for him. My advice: Marry someone smarter than you, but never let him know it. (j/k)

My parents (and Jed's parents, too) are a wonderful support to me. I appreciate all that they have done for me and my family. Again, I would have never been where I am today without their encouragement and examples.

Above is a pic of Wes refusing to smile, and below is apart of the "hooding" ceremony. When you get a master's, they hood you with a cape looking thing with the colors of the school and your college color (engineering is orange.)




So its finally over. I would have never imagined myself graduating with a master's degree in structural engineering, while working part time and trying to raise (wrestle) twin boys. I've got to be the luckiest person alive! My husband, is an amazing provider who works hard and is so much fun to be with. I look forward to him coming home from work even more than the kids do. The kids are a barrel of monkeys, but they are so smart (they get that from me) and energetic. I know that everyone in my family had to sacrifice on my behalf, and I hope I can make it up to them.

The next stage in our life includes a move to Brigham and a new house! We'll be moving the day after Christmas, and we are so excited. Its actually Jed's sister, Mandy's home. They're moving to Tennessee with a new Army assignment. We will miss them a lot, but are soooo grateful for such a perfect home.
