Gradiation!!!

Graduation 2009! We're finally done with grad school. While it feels good to be done, it's with a little trepidation that we venture out in the great unknown. We have plans for the future, but we want to focus on this moment and enjoy it a little. It's been two years of hard work, and Mary and the girls have been the most supportive family anyone can ever have. Mary deserves this degree as much as I do for having to put up with my late night painting sessions, long hours, and candid discussions about my frustrations with art.

Graduation was great. It was at the school and both our parents made the trek out here for it, as well as My Uncle and cousins from over the hill. It was warm and sunny for the ceremonies. There were around 100 or so undergrads, and only six graduate students. After commencement the family headed down to our favorite beach for food and fun in the sun. It was great to have the family together and enjoy the weather and our locale. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!
