Grad-u-nated!

james and i graduated on Saturday. I got a BS in Health, James a BA in Social Sciences. We were pretty stoked...but both want Master's Degrees. go figure.

(it was a long day for these little ones but they still yelled for the graduates!)

bowen has been my little supporter without even knowing it. I started school when he was 6 months old. crazy to think it's all he's ever known.
james and i were so grateful for our family that wanted to celebrate with us! they drove all the way up just for our big day! we love them so much...thanks guys. we had an awesome celebratory dinner with them afterwards at james and i's favorite restaurant, Elements. oh, it was divine! (and mom and dad were there in spirit. it's safe to say that they were our biggest fans through all these hard years, even from Ghana...thanks mom and dad, we love you!)


bowen and i are so proud of james. he has worked so hard in school, all the while working a full time job. go daddy! so fun to see you chasing your dreams.


(and this is our family photo that bowen was embarrassed to be a part of....i wonder why??)

bowen said it best when the long day was over.
"good job grad-u-nating mom and dad!"
isn't he so sweet?

Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! To both of you! Now you can spend your time stressing about having a baby, right?

p.s. I love the prego pic. Bowen might have been embarrassed, but I think it is AWESOME!
