He did it!

or should I say we did it! He survived two years of night classes, homework, and group assignments while I got a taste of what it would be like to be a single mom. It has been a long road, but hopefully it will be prove to be worth our sacrifices.

He had a difficult time deciding whether or not to walk at graduation, but he ultimately decided it would be a good opportunity to celebrate his accomplishment. His MBA department flew in Hawaiian leis for all of their graduates. We met some family for dinner beforehand, and my mom and I attended the actual graduation ceremony. The ceremony was fairly efficient, with no speeches and a comparatively fast distribution of diplomas. I was able to enjoy it more since family members kindly offered to watch the girls.

Now we are enjoying the opportunity reacquainting ourselves with each other and remembering what life is like as a "normal" family. On Aaron's last night of class, I explained to Madelyn that Daddy was going to be done with school forever, so he would be home with us every night. The next morning she asked me when Daddy would be done with work forever, so he could spend every day with us too.:)

Thanks for everyone's support!

And Congratulations Aaron!
We're so proud of you!
