We went to #1 Son’s college graduation today!<\/p>\n

So many years. \u00a0So many emotions. \u00a0So many tears, frustration, anger, struggles, joy…all of it.<\/p>\n

So very, very proud!<\/p>\n

When they started playing Pomp and Circumstance and I saw #1 Son marching in, I started crying like a baby. I’m just a sentimental old lady I guess.<\/p>\n

Looking back at all the incredibly huge hurdles he overcame to reach this day~to successfully complete his Bachelor’s degree~to become a college graduate…<\/p>\n

I always knew he COULD do this. \u00a0Sometimes I wondered if he WOULD do it.<\/p>\n

The choice was always his. \u00a0He definitely had the ability. \u00a0He is a very talented writer. Journalism is a terrific fit for him!<\/p>\n

He looked so handsome in his gown and gold braid with tassels.<\/p>\n

I don’t have a pic of him in his cap and gown…yet. \u00a0I’ll get one! \u00a0You’d better believe I will!!!<\/p>\n

#1 Daughter and her #1 Fiance made the trip from Colorado to see his victory lap across the stage today.<\/p>\n

MIL and FIL made the drive from Iowa for the exact same reason.<\/p>\n

My parents were there, too!<\/p>\n

We all were there because this was a Big. Deal. Thing.<\/p>\n

These are my two kids. \u00a0Together. \u00a0Adults. \u00a0Totally and completely amazing people.<\/p>\n

I love them with every fiber of my being.<\/p>\n

Congratulations!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
