GRADUATE

He did it!

Why do I love this picture so much?

As humiliating as this is, I must admit that I got a little teary eyed watching him walk into the arena during the processional (I'll blame it on pregnancy hormones, seeing as I cried the next day during a piano performance).

I couldn't be more proud of him though.

His parents, my parents, and all 5 of his brothers were there to support him during both Commencement and Convocation ceremonies.  5 hours in incredibly hard seats with close to no legroom... I'd say that's dedication.

Way to go YOU.

You deserved this more than anyone I know.

I watched you study.

I know how you read EVERY word of EVERY textbook that you own.

I know that you had/have your professor's email addresses memorized.

I know how much time you spent preparing for tests... 

which reminds me:

Sorry for my constant complaining during finals week. 

 You have to understand it was just because I love you and like to hang out with you.  

So when I would come in your office and stand in front of your desk and stare at you until you looked up from your textbook, I promise it was in your best interest.  Baby wanted some attention - NOT me.

Because after all, WE are your biggest fans!

quite literally at this point
