Congrats!

Today was Ben's graduation party! We had a small get together with, mostly family and a few close friends. We are very grateful to be finished with this part of our lives. It has been a long road for the past 5 years, trying to be a good supportive wife but at times it was very difficult. i am so proud of Ben. He has worked so hard, working full-time and going to school full-time, which did not give him much time with his family. We enjoyed the times we did have with him though and knew if was only going to last a short time. So...where do we go from here? I am not sure. He has applied at many places, and with some good advice from a couple of good men, we might be able to find something good.

We are very grateful for those of you who were able to come and support Ben at his party. We realize that many of you have children and family and are busy with everyday things, but made an effort to show up...even if it was only for a short time. We really appreciate it, and your friendships you have shown our family.

WOW! This blog is completely different from the one I was rambling on about last night. Well, I better close soon before we get a repeat.

I absolutely love this picture of Ben and Parker. I do not know what I would do without these two men in my life. They have changed it in so many ways!! I love them both so, so much!! And am so proud of their accomplishments. (Parker just learned how to play "peek-a-boo." And when you ask him something like, "Where are Parker's books?" or "Where is Parker's ball." he will actually go and get the object and play with it. Kind of like a dog. but cuter! Anyway I can see where this could be headed. Anyways, Congrats Ben and Parker! Thanks to all of you lovely people who came and made our night special!! Love Ya!
