We did It!!!

WhooHooo! After three years, 1 1/2 more kids, lots more debt, many extremely early mornings and late nights we are so happy to see the reward. Last Saturday Kyle graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic. His whole family was here, and my parents flew out to help celebrate. We had graduation in the morning where Kyle gave a fabulous speech, despite a couple of potty jokes pertaining to some of the class' most memorable moments, then we met with some of his classmates and our families at Macaroni Grill for lunch, we then lounged for a couple of hours, and then all the family got together at our house for enchiladas and cake. We got to sing, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and eveything (I've secretly always wanted to have a real event to sing that for, and the family was kind enought to indulge me). We had a great time and the whole weekend was lots of fun.



I know some of the family has some more good pictures. I will post them when I get a chance.

Congrats Kyle. We completely understand. It sounds like your graduation ceremony was a little like Dave's. I loved the Christmas card. We slacked off again this year!
