On to the rest of our lives

We graduated! I am so proud of and grateful for my husband. He is my hero for going to school so diligently to be a provider for our family. He has worked so hard over the past ten years to accomplish his Doctorate and I am so proud of him!






For those of you who do not know getting a doctorate means that you get to wear a cool hood/cape thing. (see above)



We are grateful to our family who traveled to come support us and watch Derek walk!









He sure looks happy to be done!








We also went to the PT ceremony/party thing where the group had one last chance to be together.

We we miss all of the friends we made in the program


It appears that Derek will REALLY miss one of his professors. (good thing Derek's not famous, this is tabloid material)
Goodbye Flagstaff, hello the rest of our lives!
