Today was big enough to elicit another blog post: today we celebrated TJ graduating. I am so incredibly proud of him. We had a great time celebrating. We started the day with presents (and a darling "CONGRATULATIONS" banner I spent a decent amount of time making...) and waffles with coconut syrup. Delicious and very fun.
This afternoon we dressed up and drove down to graduation. Bless Sara's heart for picking up his cap and gown and even ironing it for us. TJ was the last in line (we were a bit late...) but we made it! I wish we could have seen him in the Marriott Center, but it is a decent sized space and at least we were there together.
Elder Perry gave a great talk about continuing to focus on health/physical health, religious health, financial freedom and leisure time. The favorite quote was, "You're spending money you don't have on things you don't need to impress people you don't even like." :) I guess it's not all inspirational but a good reminder to be wise.
Dinner was wonderful and the company was great: so wonderful to have family nearby that is supportive and generous and kind.
I am so proud of him. What a fantastic accomplishment and a monumental milestone. A wonderful day for both of us - wahoo!
