Graduation weekend, Happy anniversary, and moving craziness!

Its been a crazy week full of lots of different emotions. I can't believe that this chapter of our lives is over. Be prepared for picture overload.

We started off the celebrations at the commissioning on Friday morning. It was so great. It was smaller than the commencement on Saturday and more personal because it was just for the Law school. I loved it.


Ernie and Josh have been great friends and study partners since the first year.

Walking in.

Getting his hood.

After the hooding ceremony, Brielle had a Mothers day tea at school. We rushed to get there and were literally a few minutes late and missed the song. It was so sad to walk in a see her in tears. I immediately started crying as well. Her sweet teacher took us all back to the classroom and they sang it again. She was right in front of me and I could hear her sweet little voice. It was perfect.

The song, of course, was so sweet I was crying again. Brielle later said "it's ok mom the first time was just practice!" I love her and her ability to look on the bright side.

It was also Brielle's last day of school so she had to say goodbye to her sweet teachers.

And her boyfriend.

This is the picture and sentance she wrote and drew for me.

On top of everything else we had going on we were having to take Rigdon into the doctor everyday to get antibiotic shots. He has had a double ear infection for 2 months now. After 2 rounds of antibiotics, lots of garlic ear oil, and tylenol we finally decided this was what we needed to do to help get him out of pain. Not to mention the doctor said the puss was starting to erode his ear drum. Sad boy! This was day 3 (the last day) of shots. He was so good to let the doctor check him and then as soon as the nurse came in with the tray he lost it. It was so sad. I had to bring Josh in for backup. Praying that this time it clears up.

After the doctor appointment we headed off to the graduation banquet.

Saturday morning we went to the commencement at regent. It was the whole university and was crazy! We didn't have a seat outside so we ended up in the mothers room where they had it being telivised. This was how we kept the kids occupied. Hope asked how her daddy got on tv. I think they were a little confused.

And we're done! We did it!

The kids were so proud of daddy!

We were so happy to have my Mom and Dad and Grandpa here to celebrate with us!

YAY! We did it!

This was quite the funny picture to try and get, but at least all of us are there together. And we made it through the 3 years together.

Hope and Trinity

We were all exhausted after all the craziness. Hope fell asleep watching the hamster.

While we were busy packing Rigdon learned a new trick. He can now officially climb on the chairs and on the table. Yup! It's pretty awful!

Happy anniversary! It was so fun that Josh graduated on our 7th anniversary. The down side to it was that we spent the day packing after graduation.

I'm so proud of Josh! He is an amazing man who handled law school and his family with grace. I love you.
