He did it!

Last Saturday Chris graduated from the University of La Verne with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration.  We are so proud of him and all his hard work!  It’s not easy going to school while having a very busy career and not to mention a wife and 4 kids at home!  Chris went back to school about 4 years ago with full force and never gave up.  The main reason Chris wanted to finish his Bachelors degree was for our kids.  He wanted to set an example for them to get their education (and hopefully they’ll get it done when they are single and don’t have kids at home, since its much easier that way!) 

We had a wonderful day celebrating his achievements.  It was awesome to have all our family (that live locally) there at the graduation.  He had a big cheering section.  Chris received a special honor because he graduated Cum Laude and received honors from his department.  They made a special introduction those who received honors and a special cord was placed over his shoulders.

Thank you so much to all our family who came and supported Chris on this special occasion!  Here are some pictures of the family.  (We didn’t get pictures with Wes and Kristy and Chris and Amanda)

(Thanks Chris and Amanda for being the photographers!)

After the ceremony we went home and had a fun barbecue with the whole fam.  Chris thought it would be easier to just go to a restaurant but I wouldn’t have it! I wanted him to celebrate BIG on his special day.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs with ALL kinds of fixings, Hamburgers, potato salad, and much more were served.  The house was decked out in ULV’s orange and green. 

Again thanks to all the family who helped us get the party on and supported Chris on his special day!  

I love you honey and I’m soooooo glad you are done!  (for now….he’s already thinking about grad school!)
